Nambour Yoga Centre

Nambour Yoga Centre is a welcoming and inclusive yoga studio located in Nambour, Australia. With a focus on Ashtanga Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Flow, the centre aims to guide students on their yoga journey towards a more easeful, less stressed, and powerful version of themselves.

The studio offers a variety of classes to cater to different needs and experience levels. The signature class, Ashtanga Mysore, allows students to learn traditional Ashtanga Yoga at their own pace, encouraging them to embody their unique yoga practise. Ashtanga Foundations is a class that focuses on the foundations of the Ashtanga Yoga primary series, helping students build strength while opening up their bodies and connecting to their breath. For those looking to unwind and relax, Yin Yoga is the perfect class, holding poses for an extended period to release and relax the body, soothing the nervous system and quietening the mind.

Slow Flow offers a slow and deep exploration of breath and movement, designed to help students wind down from the day and connect with themselves.

What sets Nambour Yoga Centre apart is the customised instruction provided by highly experienced teachers. They understand that each student has their own unique physical characteristics and take these into consideration throughout the classes. The aim is to assist students in uncovering their true potential by creating a nurturing and supportive environment.

The studio's owner, Michelle Freeman, is an experienced yoga teacher specialising in Ashtanga, Yin, Flow, and private sessions. With over 20 years of committed yoga, meditation, and breathwork practise, Michelle brings a wealth of knowledge to her classes. Her teaching approach is rooted in compassion, heart, and courage to help students move through any challenges. Additionally, Michelle is currently studying exercise physiology, which she incorporates into her classes to help students nurture and create positive change in their bodies.

Before embarking on the yoga journey at Nambour Yoga Centre, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, there is no need to be bendy, strong, or physically fit to begin yoga at the studio. All individuals, regardless of their fitness level, are welcome. However, the studio does have some etiquette guidelines that students are asked to respect.

It is recommended to come hydrated and on an empty stomach, refraining from eating up to two hours before class if possible. Students are encouraged to bring their own yoga mats, although mats can be hired at the studio. A small hand towel is also recommended. To create a harmonious environment, students are asked to avoid wearing strong perfumes, silence their mobile phones, and refrain from drinking water during class if possible.

Additionally, it is important to inform the instructor of any health conditions or injuries that may impact the practise.

For those seeking extra attention and guidance, particularly if working with a medical condition or injury, private sessions are available before beginning regular classes. These sessions are tailored to individual needs and can guide students towards the best classes to start with and specific practises outside of class.

At Nambour Yoga Centre, the goal is to create a supportive and nurturing space where students can embark on their yoga journey and discover the transformative power of yoga. To get started, interested individuals can book classes or private sessions through the centre's website or contact them directly for more information.
