Grass Roots Yoga St Kilda

Have you spotted all the hidden love notes around the studio? 🫶🏼😊

As part of International Yoga Day (June 21st), GRY is partnering with Yogahood for their Mats For Mates campaign, to help raise awareness for the programs they deliver Australia wide.

Yogahood Australia partners with volunteer yoga instructors, community groups, other non-profit orgnisations to provide mindfulness-based yoga to often overlooked and at-risk individuals.

The programs serve individuals facing challenges with mental health, addiction, poverty, violence, trauma, or homelessness.

To support this worthy cause and spread the gift of yoga to those in need, the 9.30am class this Friday 21st will be by donation. There will be a donation box at reception and you can also make a donation via the QR code in the studio.

Dear Community,

With the news of yet another incredible yoga studio closing down, it felt important, as small business owners ourselves that we send a message

First and foremost thank you to anyone who has bought a membership or class pack from us. Buying direct from us is what keeps our doors open.

The increasing popularity in classpass is having an impact across our industry (did you know apparently Melbourne has the highest number of classpass users per capita in the world?)

We try and make our membership as accessible as we can, whilst not compromising on our offering. Our teachers are amongst the most experienced in the industry and we are constantly expanding our timetable.

Right now our love and thoughts are with .puppy students, teachers and owners who have been an integral part of the community for the past ten years.

We will still continue to welcome everyone who comes through our doors. But our hope is this may give a little more context about us as a small business.

Love Shelley & Sal x

Another great corporate yoga session with the crew .io ✨

If you are looking to organise yoga or meditation classes for your workplace, we can come to you and facilitate a private class or alternative you can come to us and have exclusive use of the studio for up to 30 staff members.

For more information, let’s have a chat and we can help you determine the best way to incorporate yoga and meditation into your workday.

It’s been almost a year and a half since Sal and I took over GRY. And in that time our family of teachers has grown alongside our community.
I’m honoured to teach alongside this team, whose experience and knowledge is diverse and inspiring. They are the heart of our studio and a huge support to Sal and I.
And to our community old and new, we love how you embrace our team with such a welcoming energy. As I sit on that bench and ask myself if it was still a good decision..it’s still a hell YES.
Some of our yoga family are missing from this pic, but your energy is with us!

Big love to this gang and you guys!

Love Shelley ❤️

As the weather starts to get a little crisp and the leaves begin to dance their way to the ground, many of us are feeling into the shifts in energy that are all around. The heightened buzz of the past few months is beginning to settle, creating space for integration and nesting vibes to take hold.

As the cooler months approach, our bodies and minds start to crave a slower pace and some extra TLC. It’s a time for warming foods, soul-soothing activities, and introspection. During this time our doors at GRY open a little wider, with more classes on the schedule and nurturing workshops to support you through the season of rest.

Autumn invites us to recalibrate, to slow down, and to turn inward. It’s a time for reflection and embracing the beauty of stillness. Just as nature takes its time to rejuvenate, so too must we. So when spring arrives, we’ll be ready to blossom and bloom anew. 🌸💫

We look forward to sharing this season with you all, to be your autumn and winter home away from home, a place to warm the body and nourish the soul.

Well then, we have some great news for you! There are still some spots available for this weekends workshops with International teacher ✨

Friday night join Cat for a profound healing experience in her signature Biodynamic Yin & Vision Quest practice. Learn how to achieve a deeper state of relaxation so you can drop into a conscious dreaming state and access your healing power, inner truth, and magical parts of yourself.

Saturday and Sunday is a 2 day workshop exploring the hot topic of boundaries. The workshop is designed to help you feel safe and empowered in your own space and know what’s your stuff and what’s someone else’s.

You will learn self-energy healing practices to sense your energy field as well as others, notice where your field may be thinner or have “holes,” and what you can do to strengthen your energy. Discover how you may shapeshift your energy field around others and how to stay whole within yourself.

The countdown is down… 4 more sleeps until we welcome back the incredible to the studio.

Bookings can be made via the website or there is a link in the story highlights.

Right now we are moving through eclipse season, how that translates to us as human beings in a modern world is that you might be feeling less grounded, with scattered and heightened emotions, and perhaps your sleep is a little more disturbed than usual. If so, you are not alone (or going crazy!) and those feelings you are feeling are very real.

Eclipses are said to uproot us and put us where we’re meant to be. And this process can feel shaky and uncertain!
Know that what you are feeling will pass. And in the meantime get some rest, take a yin class, ground and cleanse your energy, journal your thoughts. Trust and surrender to the process. A new chapter awaits ✨
