One of Perth's longest-standing yoga studios, running morning vinyasa, hatha, beginners, therapy yoga, restorative yin and mum-and-bubs classes from Petra Street. Occasional sound bath evenings round out a timetable built for regulars rather than drop-in tourists.
Beginner yoga in Perth
Two different things get called a beginner class in Perth. One is a course with an intake date; the other is a mixed-level class with a note that beginners are welcome. Both are listed here, and the listing text says which.

Beginner yoga in Perth
Sound baths in the hills above Armadale — fortnightly Sunday sonic immersions plus sunset, full-moon and cacao-ceremony sessions, with mats, bolsters and blankets provided. The bush setting is half the experience, and a three-event pass suits people who want it as a regular reset rather than a one-off.
Running since 2005 under founders with research doctorates and a thoughtful, non-performative approach, this Colin Street studio teaches Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin and pregnancy yoga in person and online. The three-week unlimited introduction is a proper way to test whether a regular practice fits your week.
Mandy Francisty runs day retreats around Perth and weekend retreats further afield — the next in Pemberton — built from slow-flow and restorative yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, breathwork, journaling and a vegan, gluten-free lunch, each day on a different theme. Based in Two Rocks, where there is venue hire, a sauna and ice bath and weekly yoga, she is a yoga and pilates teacher, breathwork practitioner, NLP and EFT therapist and personal trainer, and takes private bookings for hens, birthdays and teams.
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.
A northern-suburbs studio built around pregnancy and women's yoga: five-week pregnancy courses for every trimester, yoga for active birth, mum-and-baby postnatal classes and women's immersions, plus prenatal yoga teacher training for teachers who want the specialty.
Quentin Albertsen, trained through the Mindfulness Training Institute Australasia, teaches the classic eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course in South Perth: weekly 2.5-hour group sessions, a full-day retreat, guided audio for the 30–40 minutes of daily home practice, and a course book — $550 all in.
A yoga studio on Stirling Highway, Nedlands, with a wellness spa attached. The spa menu runs signature and pregnancy massage from $145 for the hour, an iKOU facial at $160, iKOU body scrubs and rituals from $140, a 45-minute infrared sauna at $50, and wellness consultations; upstairs the studio teaches vinyasa, yin, prenatal and foundation classes, with private sessions, corporate programs, workshops and retreats. Open seven days around class and appointment times.
A volunteer-run meditation centre teaching Raja Yoga meditation through free introductory courses, public talks and workshops, with an ongoing Thursday evening class for those who have completed the intro course. All courses, classes and retreats are offered free of charge.
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 Hardy Street studio running barre alongside reformer and matwork, which is less common than it sounds — most Perth barre classes sit in gyms rather than Pilates studios. The studio is explicit that no dance background is expected; its own test is whether you can hold a barre. Yoga and private sessions run on the same timetable.
A northern-suburbs studio running the Bikram sequence — twenty-six postures in front of a mirror at 38 degrees — alongside a heated vinyasa flow, reformer Pilates and unheated yin. Beginners' yoga runs as its own class rather than as an afterthought, and the studio is explicit that flexibility, strength and balance are not entry requirements.
A Bikram studio south of the river, running the original set sequence in a heated room. The studio makes a point of the practice being for people who do not think of themselves as yoga people — its own words are that you do not need to be fit, or young, or a devotee — and first-timers are given mat and towel hire at no cost. An introductory pass covers twenty-five days of unlimited classes.
A retreat centre on ten acres of bushland in the Perth hills, with a seasonal creek, native forest and an octagonal yoga shala. Alongside weekly classes it runs a monthly one-day silent retreat, longer weekend retreats through the year, self-guided personal retreat stays and long-form teacher training. Retreat days fold in bush walks on the property.
A North Fremantle studio whose timetable runs from power yoga and sculpt Pilates down to yin, restorative, and a yoga nidra class held inside live crystal-bowl sound healing — the guided yogic-sleep practice done properly, lying down, with the room resonating. Drop-ins $32, memberships from $39 a week.
The Western Australian licensee for Master Choa Kok Sui's pranic healing system, affiliated with the Institute for Inner Studies.

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.
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.
Scarborough's hot-room specialist: Bikram hot yoga, Sumit's hot vinyasa flow, hot core Pilates and a yin class to balance the heat, fifteen minutes up the coast from the city. Fourteen days unlimited for $39 lets newcomers try the lot before committing.
Monthly two-hour conscious connected breathwork in a warm room at Spanda Yoga, capped at ten people. Sessions pair the guided breathing with plain-science education and a follow-up email the next day, which is more aftercare than most group breathwork offers. Mats, bolsters and blankets provided.
Holly Dutton teaches yoga at City Beach and runs residential retreats in WA's south-west — most recently a four-day Margaret River weekend combining daily yoga, sauna and ice bath sessions, breathwork, meditation, bush walks and a cacao ceremony, fully catered. Shared and single rooms from $1,495. Private retreats for groups of six or more can be arranged at Rottnest, Yallingup, Ferguson Valley and the Swan Valley.
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.
YOGALAB occupies the largest studio in Western Australia, with 200sqm of serene open space featuring solid jarrah floors, white brick walls, pitched ceilings and open arms to welcome you. Our state of the art sound system means we can provide practices integrated with music at a frequency range of 27Hz…
More than thirty-six classes a week across Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin, seven days a week — including Mysore-style self-practice from 5.30am for the before-work crowd. The six-week Beginners Foundations course is the structured way in if you've never stepped on a mat.
Worth knowing
A course — the same dozen people for four to six weeks, taught in sequence — assumes nothing in week one and usually works out cheaper per class than it looks, even when the block price is higher. A mixed-level class with a welcome note is cheaper to try and fine if you have done a little before; arrive ten minutes early and say so at the desk.
Every studio on this page has said, on its own website or timetable, that it runs something for people starting out. Where a studio hasn't said so it simply isn't listed here — that is not a statement that beginners are unwelcome, only that nobody has checked.
- The listings are the live set of practices in this category that match the view. Nothing is added by hand and nothing is left out by judgement.
- Order is members first, then alphabetical. Google ratings are shown for information, labelled, and never used to select or order.
- Featured placements are paid, labelled, and sit in their own band.
- A practice appears under an audience or a service only where it has published that itself. Absence means nobody has checked — never that it is unwelcome.

Beginner yoga in Perth — common questions
What counts as a beginners' yoga class?
Two different things, and this page lists both. One is a course with an intake date that starts everyone together and assumes nothing; the other is a mixed-level class the studio states is suitable for people with no experience. The listing says which.
How many Perth yoga studios run classes for beginners?
25 of the 42 yoga listings in the directory publish a beginners' class, a course, or an all-levels welcome. The number is live and changes as listings are checked.
Is a beginners' course better than a mixed-level class?
Different, rather than better. A course starts everyone together and explains nothing twice; a mixed-level class is easier to drop into and usually cheaper per visit. If you have never done a class, the course is the gentler way in.
How does a studio end up on this page?
Only by publishing it themselves — a beginners' class on the timetable, a course with an intake, or a plain statement that classes suit all levels. We record where we read it. An intro discount on its own does not count.
