Vera Vidya Classes
DYNAMIC VINYASA- Energise and Lengthen.
Our signature class, Dynamic Vinyasa is an energetic practice that builds heat, strength, flexibility and endurance. “Vinyasa” means “breath-synchronized movement”. In other words you inhale to move one way and exhale to move another and with all the breaths you are going to be taking you will have had a whole lot of action by the end of class. It maybe fast or slow depending on the individuals and the teacher in the room.
Why do people love Vinyasa Flow? Because it is an empowering practice that will support you to explore and embrace the edges of your own potential. You will walk out of class feeling energised, grounded and completely chilled. Just they way we like it.
YIN- Release
Find the balance. Still the body and the mind. Yin is a gentle mediative practice targeting the connective tissue, tendons, fascia and ligaments. It is excellent for joint mobility, flexibility and reducing tension resulting in a deep, integrated and satisfying practice. Yin uses passive and relaxing poses that are held for longer to activate the PNS (parasympathetic nervous system – rest and digest) and work on the meridian lines within your body.
All levels welcome.
RESTORITVE YIN- Relax
Slow, gentle and deeply relaxing yoga class. The perfect way to take the time out you are looking for. The restorative class involves an adaption of classical yoga using props and holding postures to open and stretch the body. This class is gentle, and with the availability of props, it is accessible to everyone especially beginners, pre and post natal. It is particularly effective in reducing stress, anxiety and sleep disruptions.
Excellent for desk-bound people who are looking to find greater flexibility and range of motion.
REMEDIAL- Heal
Remedial is a gentle practice that re-creates balance in the body and harmony in the mind. It works through mobilisation and stabilisation of the joints. A slow calm breath is used throughout the practice to allow the energy to move more freely within the body, creating more space and ease when coming in and out of each pose. It is ideal for anyone working through injuries, limitation or specific needs. Our awesome teachers will step you through each pose helping you work with your individual body..
MOBILITY & CORE- Strength
Functional dynamic stretching and strengthening
Do you ever wish you could have all the benefits of yoga without the bells and whistles? This is the class thats gets you just that.
With mobility and core you will build your strength (think toned arms, legs & core), flexibility and endurance. It is a must class for cyclists, runners & sports enthusiasts. It gets the body fired up and ready to train at its best whilst incorporating all the stretch & mobility benefits of yoga.
YOGA FOR BEGINNERS
Never tried Yoga or want to revisit your technique, we have got you covered. This class was designed to talk you through all things Yoga: different types of classes, different poses and how to get the best out of each pose for your body, how to start to listen to your body and switch off your mind… something we all struggle with. Come and build your confidence on the matt.
PRIVATE YOGA CLASSES
All our senior teachers are available for private Yoga classes. This is a great option if you are interested in a tailored one on one program or you have a group of friends gathering together for an event. We recommend private sessions for all our yoga students to ensure you get the most out of every yoga practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Vera Vidya Yoga suited for?
Yoga is suitable for everybody however, it is about finding the class that is best suited to your body and your needs. Yoga classes are designed to release tightness and fatigue that is harbored in the body and mind, renewing and revitalising you for the rest of your day and week. Vera Vidya Yoga Studio was designed to provide a space for everyone including experienced yoga buffs, while at the same time providing a safe and nurturing space for those that may have never tried yoga before.
What if I am new to Yoga?
You have definitely come to the right place. Our teachers are warm, caring and passionate about creating a pathway for people to begin yoga. They are here to help you no matter what your fitness level or experience is. On the first Saturday of every month we run a dedicated introduction to Yoga for beginners. If you don’t want to wait, come in and try our Yin, Remedial or Restorative classes to experience the different styles available.

Do I book or just show up?
Yes, all members and current clients must reserve their place using the online app. Classes are strictly limited and only places pre-booked can be guaranteed. Use the AFA Acuity App to book, cancel or reschedule your classes. If for any reason this is not available to you please email admin the classes you wish to attend and they can book you in.
If you are new to Vera Vidya Yoga it is essential that you speak with one of our team before attending your first class, so we can walk you through the booking process..
What is the difference between Yoga and Pilates?
Vera Vidya Yoga is a place to stop, accept and to learn to listen to your body. To give back, nurture and nourish yourself. Yoga works on this through heat, strength, movement, mindfulness and breath. Yoga works on your mobility and flexibility leaving you feeling energised, grounded and whole.
AFA Pilates Classes focus on building core strength by incorporating precise movements that require control and technique. They aim to build strength, flexibility, coordination and muscular endurance, with an emphasis on lengthening the body and improving spatial awareness. You will be working your body from the inside out and focus on perfecting movements before moving on. Pilates provides a strong foundation on which to enhance other movements.
Do I need to arrive early to class?
Yes, most clients arrive 5 minutes early and head into the studio onto their mat to begin their practice. If you are wanting to have a quick chat or catch up with someone else we recommend doing that before you enter the actual studio. Once you enter the studio, please respect it as a place of quiet reflection. Phones are off, conversations are left outside and we respect the quiet space for each yogi in the room.
The entrance door will be locked 5 minutes after class begins to keep your belongings safe so please ensure you are there before class commences.
Pregnancy?
Pregnancy is such an exciting time in your life. We have some instructors that are trained in pre and postnatal yoga and are happy to talk you through any changes that you may need to make for your practice. Please notify your instructor as soon as you know you are pregnant and discuss with your Dr so they know that you will be exercising during your pregnancy.
Cancelation Policy?
You can freely cancel any yoga class up to 24 hours before the class start time. Due to our capped classes we encourage all clients to remove their names from a class if you know you cannot attend. No-shows who do not cancel, may lose their priority booking status.
What can I do if the class I want to attend is fully booked?
If a class is fully booked, notify admin on [email protected] they will place you on the waitlist and notify you via text if a spot comes up. You can respond to the text with a Y to accept the spot or N to pass your spot onto the next person on the waitlist. This system works really well so don’t despair if your favourite class is full, contact admin because more often than not you will get in.
What if I have an injury or unusual pain?
We encourage all Vera Vidya Yogi’s to look after and listen to their bodies. It is important to remind the instructor of any current injuries you have before the class and if you feel any unusual pain during class please stop what you are doing and come into a pose that works for your body.
If you have a chronic injury, had an acute injury or have had surgery, we recommend booking a 1-1 assessment for your first visit and completing small group classes to learn modifications for common exercises.
What facilities are available at the studio?
Pigeon holes to store your belongings in the entrance to the studio
Toilets & change rooms
Light essential oil scent is diffused throughout the studio

Is Vera Vidya open on Public Holidays?
The studio is closed on Public Holidays.
What happens over the school holidays and Christmas?
School Holidays: We understand the importance of variety in your schedule to ensure interest and sustainability. During the holiday period we change up instructors and class schedule to create variety for your practice. We are in a unique situation to share premises with Altitude Fitness and as a result we offer all Vera Vidya Yogis the opportunity to trial something a little different. To book into these classes you simply follow the bookings link on the school holiday timetable which is released 2 weeks before the end of term.
Christmas: The studio is closed the Wednesday before Christmas and re-opens the second Monday of January. This has been factored into our monthly membership rate, and the down time has been deducted over the average of the 12 months. With this in mind, memberships are not paused, canceled or otherwise amended from December 15 to January 15, unless extenuating circumstances (injury etc) are present. Vera Vidya reserves the right to make the final decision during this time.
