New Friday evening class with Holly Nehme

Fridays 6:30pm - 8:00pm with Holly - Bookings essential.

Holly is passionate about sharing yoga as a means of personal transformation. With 14 years of dedicated practice, study and teaching across a variety of styles, the traditional tantric hatha yoga system emerged as a standout — its ability to recalibrate not only the physical body but the energetic architecture has been completely life-changing. Her classes are a deep dive into the energetics of asana, curated with intention to balance and cultivate energy. Humble, dynamic and devoted, all levels are welcome.

Booking

Ashanna Roberts, Yin + Meditation on Thursdays at 6PM (from Jan.15 '26)

We are glad to welcome Ashanna Roberts into the Moore Lane Yoga Room teachers' group.

Ashanna will be teaching a Yin + Meditation class on Thursdays at 6pm, starting on January 15, 2026.

One of Ashanna's favourite aspects of being a yoga teacher is being a devoted student for life. Continuing to learn different modalities, evidence-based practices, ancient traditions, inspiring philosophy, and weaving them together to create a space where you can explore yourself and recalibrate to your innate sense of alignment. Ashanna's style is calming, grounding and supportive whilst also inviting curiosity and playfulness – creating a safe space to connect with and listen to your inner teacher.

Johnny's Holiday Yoga Dec.26 - Jan. 8

Senior Iyengar Yoga teacher, Johnny Batchelor, will be running his Holiday Yoga program again this year at MLYR - 2 classes daily at 7:30am & 9:30am from Boxing Day until January 8, everyday, including the public holidays.

"I so look forward to holding my Holiday Yoga classes again this year. I've been running this program for around 25 years, it's always a pleasure, it's always different, and I think it will be special this first time in our new yoga space."

Holiday Yoga starts on Boxing Day with 1.5 hour classes at 7:30am & 9:30am for 14 days straight (including New Years' Day - a great chance to start the year off right). The practice will be fun and varied, and will adapt to the weather each day. The 9:30am class will suit all levels, including beginners. The 7:30am class requires at least a little prior yoga experience.

You can make it an intensive or drop in for occasional classes. $25/class or 10 Class packages are available for $200 (which can also be redeemed for regular classes). You can just turn up or follow this link to book

The Moore Lane Yoga Room - new name, new space!

We are very excited to announce the opening of the Moore Lane Yoga Room! It's a large, beautiful, dedicated yoga room (just a stones throw down the back lane from our former abode) and with escarpment views. The official address is Church Hall, 25 Oceana Parade, Austinmer, NSW. The hall is accessible via the walkway next to 25 Oceana Parade, where there is easy parking, or by walking down Moore Lane. 

The new yoga room is close to the Austinmer Train Station and to bus stops on Moore Street. It's handy to the beach and to some renowned cafes.

All your favourite teachers from the 'Street' are back - check with them about class details.

As before, yoga equipment is supplied but please bring your own mat if you have one.

See you there!

Kai's weekly class!

The Moore Street Yoga Room is glad to welcome a new teacher to the roster. Pictured is Kai Jantti who will begin teaching a gentle Hatha class on Thursdays from 9:30am to 11:00am from February 8. Please see the Teachers' page for more information about our teachers.

Juliet Willetts

Juliet teaches hatha yoga, in a style based on the ancient texts and founded by Shandor Remete (Sundernath) (see https://shadowyoga.com/).

For the beginner, this style works with simple but challenging preparatory sequences designed to remove energetic blockages and link movement and breath. These preliminary sequences, called ‘preludes’ are taught as a foundation, and ‘nrtta sadhana’ (pure dance) assists in uncovering the natural rhythmic movement of the limbs and setting up the correct mindset.

Johnny Batchelor

It’s my experience that Iyengar Yoga provides you with a personal, go anywhere, maintenance and repair kit for your body, intellect and emotions.

In my classes you will begin by learning the fundamentals of functional physical action in a safe, calm, graduated and engaging way. You will find that physical confidence will build with improvements in mobility, strength, balance and control (and a likely reduction in pain and those troublesome niggles, as many have attested).

That’s fine, and might be where you want to sit with it. However ...

Welcome to the Moore Street Yoga Room, 62 Moore Street, Austinmer, NSW. We are a dedicated yoga space with daily classes by dedicated, experienced and highly qualified teachers. Our teachers run there own programs so please contact them directly for more information - contacts for individual teachers can be found below and on the Teachers' page.

Please bring your own mat to class, other equipment is supplied (also bring a clean towel or suitable material to cover shared equipment). Please do not attend the Yoga Room if you are feeling unwell or have respiratory symptoms. The timetable is current for 2023.

Monday

• 10:00am - 11:30am Johnny - General (Iyengar)
