About Vijñāna Yoga Australia
Vijñāna Yoga Australia is a Brunswick-based yoga school dedicated to a thoughtful, traditional approach to practice. Founded in 2009, the school teaches the Vijñāna method, which combines the precision and attention to detail of Iyengar yoga with a flowing rhythm reminiscent of Ashtanga, all underpinned by a respect for the lineage and study of yoga.
The teaching here is deliberately holistic. Each course weaves together four strands of practice: sitting meditation, pranayama breathwork, asana postures, and ongoing study and inquiry. Students describe classes that are dynamic and challenging yet also restorative, with close, attentive guidance that supports both group learning and the development of a personal home practice. The school is also notably inclusive, welcoming all kinds of bodies and people.
Beyond regular courses, Vijñāna offers workshops, intensives, residential retreats in rural Victoria, and a mentoring program for new yoga teachers. For Brunswick locals who want to go deeper than a drop-in flow and build a serious, sustainable practice within a clear tradition, this school offers depth, structure, and a genuinely supportive learning environment guided by an experienced senior teacher.
