Meditation classes in Scarborough

A free weekly community meditation held outdoors at Bathers Beach in Fremantle, meeting at the hut in front of the art centre on Mews Road. Sessions start at 6.30am each Saturday and follow three steps: a welcome circle, a 20-minute meditation combining mindfulness, breath and gratitude, then a closing circle. Trained volunteer facilitators lead each session. It is free, open to beginners and experienced meditators, has no religious affiliation and needs no registration.

A small studio within the Sanctuary Wellness Collective on Wood Street, Fremantle, founded by Amy and run as a collective of women practitioners. The published programme includes a fortnightly Monday meditation and sound bath from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, a weekly Thursday evening stretch class, and monthly sound bath and yoga events. Practitioners also offer one-on-one sessions in reiki, breathwork, yoga therapy, kinesiology and remedial massage, by appointment.

A yoga and Pilates studio on Scarborough Beach Road, upstairs from Jetts Gym with entry from the car park. It runs more than 60 classes a week across yoga, mat and reformer Pilates, breathwork, meditation and sound bath sessions, plus family-friendly yoga classes. A casual yoga class is $29 and a casual reformer class is $37, with class packs, weekly memberships and intro passes also available. Bookings are made through Mindbody.

A Milne Street studio that runs a Mysore room alongside a general timetable, which is less common in Perth than the number of yoga studios would suggest. Ashtanga Led covers the half primary series in seventy-five minutes and the studio asks you to do its Ashtanga Foundations course first. The rest of the week is softer — Mellow, Linger Longer, Dynamic Flow, and Yin by candlelight.

The Centre for Attitudinal Healing's bush retreat an hour south-east of Perth, used by community groups, families and teams. Accommodation runs from a cottage to shared quarters for 23 or 46, with a hall for meetings and meditation, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor meeting grove, a winter bonfire area and walking trails through the property. Published rates: cottage $500 a night, the 23-bed wing $1,600, the 46-bed wing $3,000, and hall hire $500 a day Monday to Thursday.

Mark Simpson works from Princess Road in Doubleview and over Zoom, with group breathwork most Tuesday evenings and some weekend afternoons, two-hour one-to-one journeys, and a shorter hour-long introductory session. His training is a year-long course recognised by the Australian Breathwork Association; he is also an 800-hour yoga teacher and a Reiki master, and runs programs for organisations. Prices are on the site: $80 for the hour, $160 for a two-hour private session.

A dedicated sound space on five acres of jarrah bush beside a nature reserve in Sawyers Valley, on the same property as Sawyers Valley Retreat. The public calendar runs sound sessions on the new and full moons, solstice gatherings, yoga, mantra and chant, storytelling evenings and slow-stitching workshops, and the temple takes private group bookings and retreats. Published event prices sit between $111 and $180.

Kevin teaches meditation from Aberdeen Street in Northbridge as a structured progression rather than drop-in sittings — three six-session courses running from a first introduction through to advanced practice, each with weekly materials and guided audio to take away.

Charley has taught for over two decades from shared studio spaces in Applecross, Bateman and Hilton, with a practice built deliberately for stiff mornings and old injuries rather than for people who already bend easily. Gentle therapeutic yoga, strength work, mindfulness and meditation, plus private yoga-therapy sessions, seniors classes and online options. Registered as a Yoga Therapist with both Yoga Australia and IAYT, and a Level 3 teacher.
