Mind & mental wellbeing in Perth

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.

A first-floor studio at Carine Central covering the full spread — vinyasa and ashtanga through to yin, restorative, pre- and post-natal, and classes for kids and teens. Built around the same three words on every page: breathe, move, meditate.

Boutique reformer studios in Mahogany Creek and Kalamunda running fifty-plus classes a week since 2022 — reformer and restorative reformer alongside sound baths, meditation, breathwork and nervous-system regulation programs. The Mahogany Creek studio adds The Sanctuary, a sauna and cold plunge, plus a creche for the Mini + Me classes, and the team runs retreats as far afield as Ningaloo.

Neerja Ahuja's Applecross centre pairs classical Ayurvedic treatment — snehana herbal-oil massage, nasya, purvakarma and panchakarma programs — with diet and lifestyle sessions and yoga nidra. A long-established practice on the south side of the river with consultations and treatments booked separately.

Three rooms across the metro — East Victoria Park, Joondalup and Butler — mixing hot yoga, yin and reformer Pilates, with a yin-plus-sound-bath meditation class that ends the week slowly. The northern studios run a $89 twenty-day unlimited intro across reformer and mat classes.

Fremantle's yoga and Ayurveda house, running since 2008: daily classes from gentle to dynamic, Friday-evening yoga nidra and deep-restore sessions, and an Ayurvedic clinic alongside — consultations, massage and steambox treatments. Six-week beginner courses from $126 prepaid; even Bollywood dance gets a slot in the week.

Tamara's long-running school across Claremont and Bibra Lake studios plus online: vinyasa and yin through to meditation, soundbath classes that settle into yoga nidra, restorative work, and courses for pregnancy, children and trauma-informed practice. Unlimited membership at $49 a week, a three-week unlimited intro for newcomers, and 150- and 350-hour teacher trainings for those going deeper.

Four instructors, four styles — Sun with Rod Hardwick, Wu with Shirley Owen, Chen with Zhou Lee and Yang with Mark O'Shea — teaching from Rossmoyne's scout hall and primary school. The gentle Balance program on Friday mornings is built for over-50s, while the structured Pathway levels run Saturday mornings and Monday evenings from beginner through advanced. Corporate classes and online videos round it out.

Dr Lana Loxton teaches Vedic Meditation in Perth — a personal mantra practised silently for twenty minutes twice a day, taught as deliberately effortless: no concentration, no forcing focus. Free weekly group meditations and regular free intro talks make it easy to look before committing to the course, with advanced classes, mentoring and retreats beyond it.

A dedicated meditation centre in Bicton running live guided classes morning to evening six days a week, in person and online, built around a simple seven-step method pitched at every age and experience level. Kids' classes run Tuesday evenings, membership includes unlimited daily classes, and a free one-on-one consultation starts things off.
