About Samyama Yoga
Samyama Yoga is a classical yoga school in Oxley that blends traditional Hatha and Raja Yoga with a thoughtful, study-led approach to practice. Founded by Bill Giles, the school draws on a long background in yoga philosophy, meditation and the body sciences, with an emphasis on understanding the practice deeply rather than treating it as exercise alone.
The school's offerings reach beyond a typical timetable of postures. Alongside its classes, Samyama Yoga runs a year-long yoga apprenticeship for those who want comprehensive teacher-level training, and a structured online classical meditation course for students who prefer to learn at a distance. Across everything, the focus is on self-awareness, breath and the therapeutic side of yoga.
This makes Samyama Yoga a strong fit for committed students in the Oxley and wider Canberra community who want more than a casual drop-in class. Whether you are new to meditation, deepening an existing practice, or considering training as a teacher, the school offers a grounded, philosophy-rich environment in which to develop your yoga over the long term.
