The past three years have completely changed the world. In a time when chaos is the norm and self care is placed on the backburner, it is important to stay grounded and what better way than at a yoga class?

Participating in yoga can help achieve harmony between your mind and body, while helping relieve the pressures of life.

We put the call out to our readers to nominate Brisbane’s best yoga studio and Brisbane’s best has now been decided.

Congratulations to our Top. 9 for 2023 and huge thanks to all our readers for voting.

1. Tawa Yoga

Your business has been named Brisbane’s best yoga studio, what was your initial reaction?

I squealed and said “What? Wow,” then I did a happy dance.

What sets your business apart from the competition?

That’s a hard one as we never set out to compete, Brisbane is blessed to have an amazing range of studio choices and I have so much respect for all studio owners and teachers! We were all hit hard by Covid, we opened just five weeks before the 2020 first long lockdown! Then a yoyo of further lockdowns and restrictions. We set out to meet a need in our community. We started with a beautiful space with floor to ceiling views of trees, blue skies, natural breezes and a sense of spaciousness where everyone feels at ease to practice. We wanted students to experience diversity in their practice by embracing many yoga styles. Offering flowing and stillness, stretching and restoration, heated and disciplined practices. Classes for children, families, accessible chair yoga and more! Our students love variety.

What would you like Brisbane to know about you?

We’re not your regular yoga studio. Tawa Yoga was created for the yogi who doesn’t need or want a ‘yogi’ title to fit in. Where you come to practice and connect as a community with laughter and joy, that’s what Tawa means after all! Our students tell us how they have searched and stayed with us because Tawa feels like coming home, they are seen as individuals and there is no judgment or pressure. Everyone is welcome and accepted.

What would you like to say to the fans who voted for you?

Wow, Tawa Tribe rocks! I am so humbled by your love! As a fairly new yoga studio we are amazed to be nominated, let alone win! You have made our heart swell and can’t wait to hug every one of you.

What exciting things do you have planned for the business in the next six months?

First thing would be a party to celebrate this honour with our Tawa Tribe! We will then run more new classes and lots of special events!

What sets your business apart from the competition?

We’re a yoga studio for beginners, over 50s and exercise-phobes. We offer more than a stretch, we focus on regulating the nervous system and calming the mind. We don’t care if you can touch your toes or if you wear fancy clothes, we’re here to help you think and feel better.

What would you like Brisbane to know about you?

We want Brisbane to know that there is an alternative to anxious living and our yoga classes relax the body, calm the mind and soothe the soul. We also understand that not everyone can afford yoga so we offer yoga scholarships to people in need to help them think and feel better.

What would you like to say to the fans who voted for you?

We’re so grateful for our loyal customers, some of which have been attending our classes for over 10 years. We have an amazing, welcoming and down to earth community.

What sets your business apart from the competition?

Shake Your Buddha Yoga and Retreats is not just a yoga studio. It is a warm and welcoming environment for people to connect, learn and grow. We have created a welcoming haven for people from all walks of life which aims to provide an holistic space to nourish the mind, body and spirit. We like to highlight the fact that yoga is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability. Included in our timetable is our very popular ‘Forever Young’ community yoga class for the over 50s. Our most senior student is turning 90 this year! So many lifelong friendships have been made at this little studio.

What would you like Brisbane to know about you?

Shake Your Buddha Yoga and Retreats has been operating for over 16 years and offers daily classes along with a community class for the over 50s. We also host two luxury, cultural holiday yoga retreats in beautiful Bali each year at the stunning Villa Tanah Shanti in Ubud. These retreats are filled with unique cultural activities along with yoga every day among many other unforgettable experiences. Attending one of these retreats is an excellent way to enhance personal growth and deepen one’s practice. We have a team of very dedicated, authentic and knowledgeable teachers who have a true passion for their teachings, wanting to truly educate and inspire others in a safe and caring environment.

What would you like to say to the fans who voted for you?

The fact that our students have taken the time to vote for us is a testament to the positive impact our studio has had on their lives, and it’s clear that our love and appreciation is mutual. A very big thank you to our ever loving, dedicated and loyal students.
