What is Yoga?
A Guide to a Deep Sense of Peace and Freedom
Surya means 'sun' on Sanskrit; your sun, your source of energy, your safe space;
where you can explore your inner self through the ancient teachings of Yoga. (Yoga Sutra by Patanjali)
Our mission is finding internal connection and compassion to oneself and all living beings in order to feel free from internal suffering. And to help aid others on this path of finding a deep sense of peace and freedom.
We invite you to approach our Yoga classes with curiosity and playfulness,
embrace the gift of life and explore the unknown within and around you.
Wurundjeri Land
We pay our respects to the great Wurundjeri people of the Woiworung language group as the Traditional Custodians of the Country we practice on today. We recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters, and thank them for protecting its ecosystems since time immemorial. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all First Nations people present today.

How to prepare for a Yoga Class?
There is a first time for everything! If this is your first class or you haven't practiced Yoga for a long time, you may have forgotten what you need to bring to class and how to prepare. A few dot points should do the trick:
-
Avoid eating before class
-
Wear comfortable stretchy clothes
-
Bring a bottle of water and small face towel
-
Mats, blocks and all props are provided for free (but you can bring your own too if you like)
-
Advise your teacher prior class commencement if you have any injuries
We love feedbacks, so feel free to share your experience with your teacher after class so we can give more and more and more...
Our Story
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
Your Surya was founded in October 2021 out of a genuine interest to inspire, teach and encourage more kindness into this world. Through the ancient scriptures of Yoga, we find the tools in how to deal with life's challenges, our own chaotic mind, often lack of self-love and great amount of doubt. We don't believe in teachers but rather guides, we guide you through our practices to aid you in finding the teacher within you. Our guides provide from an authentic place, where they bring to the classes the essence of who they are and where they are at with their own journeys.
Through these practices the benefits are vast; from the physical activity that make us feel good living in our bodies, through emotional connections that elevate our moods and general happiness; to spiritual growth… all students walk their own path, our guides are here to assist and witness their growth.
