Yoga isn’t about exercising to Enya in a candle-lit, incense-filled room. It’s about strength, control and continuous movement to tunes of your choice. For those of you who prefer to move your body to bolder beats, the crew at Yo! Yoga have you covered thanks to their new studio that’s loud, brash and booming with all your hip hop favourites. Opening on May 22, Yo! Yoga is located on Lamington Street in New Farm and is set to be a haven for yogis who prefer to stretch to Snoop Dogg, bend to Beyonce and breathe to Busta Rhymes.

Whether you’re a beginner who’s as flexible as a lamppost or a seasoned pretzel-like pro, Yo! Yoga offers passes and memberships to suit all skills and budgets, including introductory passes for those who want to pop their hip hop yoga cherry, and one-week, five-class and 10-class passes for yogis who are committed to the cause. Different classes help build stronger joints, or can de-stress and restore your body, mind and soul. Classes run daily, with more than 25 per week. Namaste.
