With spiritual wisdom and meditation programs – including the uplifting and centering Kirtan meditation – you are guaranteed to find something nourishing here for your body, mind and soul.

Just a few blocks from the Adelaide Central Market on Halifax Street sits this tropical leafy yoga sanctuary. Human.Kind is a thriving studio that integrates classes, therapies, education and activism. They offer over 50 yoga classes a week in a diverse range of styles including yin, yoga nidra, various vinyasa options and even a cardio focused class. With regular events and workshops as well as a deep commitment to giving back, Human.Kind is a yoga studio with an open hearted and welcoming sense of community.

The team at Movement Halo, in Gilbert Street, will really get you floating. They offer a range of Aerial Movement classes which combine acrobatic arts, fitness, pilates and yoga. More than just “Aerial Yoga”, the suspension movement system has therapeutic benefits – the use of the Aerial hammocks to support the body during movement can ease pressure, create space in the joints, decrease spinal compression and create joy in body and mind. Choose from beginners, intermediate, conditioning and even aerial Yin!

Adelaide is overflowing with green spaces for you to explore. Why not grab your mat and take a self-guided yoga class in Adelaide Park Lands surrounded by trees and singing birds? Or, if the idea of leading your own class sounds a bit daunting, there are plenty of yoga teachers in the city who are happy to meet you down at the park for a one-on-one class. Check out the instructor listings on Superprof.

While Big Heart Adventures are generally your go-to nature therapy and walking tour experts, from time to time they include a yoga class as part of their offering. Think a gentle walk through the Adelaide Botanic Gardens connecting with nature followed by an energising yoga class amongst the trees. The best of both worlds really!

New to yoga? All the classes at Yoga Theory in Adelaide’s CBD can be adapted for beginners, but the team recommends the yoga foundations or balance and stretch class if it’s your first time on the mat. Don’t worry if you can’t touch your toes yet – it’s more important to be flexible in your mind and be open to the practice. The experienced teachers will guide and support you along the way. All you need is comfortable clothes and a water bottle – they will take care of the rest!
