How do I book a yoga class?

You can book your class directly through the class schedule on our website or through the Mindbody app.
We recommend booking ahead to secure your spot, particularly for popular classes.

What payment methods do you accept?

Habitus Yoga is a cashless studio. We have full EFTPOS facilities available for payments at the studio.

What is the difference between Vinyasa and Yin Yoga?

Vinyasa Yoga is a flowing, movement-based practice where you’ll move through a sequence of yoga poses while connecting movement with your breath. Each class may offer a different sequence, making every Vinyasa practice unique. It is generally a more active and energetic style of yoga and you may even work up a light sweat.
Yin Yoga is a slower, more restful practice. Most of the class is spent on the floor, with supported shapes typically held for around 2–5 minutes. Yin encourages you to slow down, release tension and create space in both the body and mind.
In short: Vinyasa = movement and energy. Yin = stillness and relaxation.

Which yoga class is best for relaxation and stress relief?

If you’re looking to slow down, relax and switch off, we highly recommend Yin Yoga or Yin + Meditation.
These classes provide an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life, settle the nervous system and give yourself time to simply be.

Which class is best if I want to get active or support my fitness goals?

If you’re looking for a more active yoga class, we recommend Vinyasa, Beginner Flow or Pilates. If you’re new to exercise or yoga, our Beginners classes are a great starting point.

I don’t have a yoga mat. Do I need to bring my own?
