Explore Yoga NidraTypes of yoga compared in Perth
Yin, vinyasa, hot, ashtanga, restorative, nidra and pregnancy yoga — what actually differs once the class starts. How fast it moves, how much of the hour you spend still, whether the sequence is the same every week, and how warm the room is. Price is the one thing that barely moves: across every Perth studio listed here the band is the same, so what changes the cost is the studio, not the style.

Two rooms on the coast — Railway Street in Cottesloe and a second inside the Swanbourne Surf Club — running more than thirty classes a week between them. The timetable is unusually wide for a studio this size: vinyasa and power vinyasa at one end, hatha flow and slow flow in the middle, and yin restorative, yin and yang, and myofascial release at the other. Sound healing runs as its own session and paired with yin.
