Show up wholeheartedly

Asana (posture) practice is designed to align mind, body and breath, promoting physical and psychological well being. Our classes are suitable for all levels and ample options will be provided for different levels of experience. Classes will typically include asana, pranayama (breath work), chanting and meditation or relaxation practices.

This is a Pilates based class with focus on core, glute and hip work to build a strong, stable base and full-body sequences that get your heart rate up and muscles working from head to toe. With bands, sliders and plenty of pulses, this class brings the conditioning in all the right ways, leaving you feeling energised and more connected to your posture and movement.

At The Open Space one of our primary loves is the practice of kirtan - a call and response form of singing/ chanting - no experience is necessary. Kirtan is a form of Bhakti (devotional) yoga and we offer a Saturday night event - check our event page for upcoming dates. All kirtan sessions are by donation, please register for catering and organisational purposes.

We host some of Australia’s best known sacred music performers as well as uniquely curated events. These evenings are great opportunities to join our community in uplifting embodiment.

Meditation is offered as an integrated part of yoga classes and as standalone classes and workshops. We are committed to making this practice available to all and offer a free community meditation class every Saturday morning.

The Open Space surrounds were created with dance in mind. We want you to come and let go in both ecstatic dance experience and improvisation. We will be inviting guest DJs and improvisational facilitators to come in and get us into the flow of joyous free movement.

Sound healing is an ancient practice throughout all wisdom traditions based upon the resonance of our bodies and their sensitivity to sound. It creates a deep relaxation state where the body healing can take place through the realignment of our deepest somatic experience.

At The Open Space, a holistic approach to health is of primary importance. Massage therapy can not only smooth the body from aches and pains but is also a way of working on emotional release via the somatic experience.

The founders of The Open Space (Michael and Karen) are both Clinical Psychologists with many years of experience in working with individuals, couples and groups. Combining training in yoga and somatic work, the mind-body connection is now at the forefront of their practice.

We are committed to personal growth and embodied learning. We host a range of workshops that will introduce students to many facets of yoga and beyond, and encourage students to deepen their personal yogic journey within a safe and connected space.
