About Yoga and Meditation School of India (McKinnon Studio)

Yoga and Meditation School of India runs its McKinnon studio in Melbourne's south-east as a place for authentic, traditional yoga taught in the classical Indian tradition. Led by experienced teacher Samir, the school offers far more than physical postures, drawing on a deep understanding of yoga philosophy that students say helps bring real clarity to their practice.

The public classes follow a complete yogic approach, weaving together asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork) and meditation into a single, well-rounded session. This holistic structure is what longstanding members value most, with some describing it as a genuinely complete experience rather than a workout alone. Beginners are welcomed warmly, and the teaching is gentle enough that newcomers, including older adults and those managing medical conditions, feel supported from the start.

Many members have practised here for years, crediting the school with meaningful physical and mental benefits and an ongoing sense of journey. Beyond regular classes, the school is known for its grounding in yoga as a discipline and a philosophy, making it well suited to anyone in McKinnon and the surrounding suburbs who wants to learn yoga properly, deepen their understanding and practise under an experienced teacher trained in India.
