Yoga with Stanja - Inner West Yoga & Breathwork

Yoga with Stanja is an intimate, deeply personal practice set beside the Cooks River in Marrickville, where classes unfold in a calm, riverside setting in Sydney's inner west. Stanja brings more than three decades of personal practice and thousands of guided sessions to her teaching, and students describe a rare, nurturing presence that makes everyone feel safe, included and gently held. The work is trauma-informed and rooted in somatic movement, breath and nervous-system regulation, so practitioners learn to feel safer in their bodies and more connected to their breath both on and off the mat. Classes meet people exactly where they are, offering enough support for newcomers while still leaving space to be quietly challenged.

Beyond regular group sessions, Stanja offers private and corporate yoga, restorative and chair yoga, guided meditation, an introductory meditation course, and breathwork and sound-healing workshops that students return to again and again. Many describe the riverside space as a true sanctuary and themselves as devoted regulars. For anyone in Marrickville seeking yoga that prioritises calm, connection and genuine care over performance, Stanja offers a warm, welcoming and quietly transformative practice.
