The Studio

Eco-friendly + Nature-connected

Paradise Yoga has been called “the most beautiful yoga studio in the world” by more than a few students — and once you see it, you’ll understand why.

Tucked into the back garden of my Avalon Beach home, the studio looks out over the still waters of Pittwater and is surrounded by ancient spotted gums. You’ll hear birdsong, not traffic. You’ll feel the breeze through open windows. You’ll slow down before we’ve even started.

This studio is more than just a beautiful view. It’s eco-friendly and self-sustaining — powered by 10kW of solar panels and backed up by Tesla battery storage. There’s a living green roof, chickens pecking happily nearby, and bees buzzing down in the garden (sometimes we even sell our honey from the studio!).

This is a small and peaceful space, designed specifically to help calm your nervous system and soothe your mind. No crowds, no noise, no pressure. Just space to breathe.

Each class is limited to just six people (sometimes fewer) creating a calm, personalised environment ideal for anyone feeling anxious or wanting a more peaceful practice.

My students range in age from 18 to 80+, but if I had to narrow it down, I’d say this place is especially popular with those comfortably in their middle years and beyond. If you’re thinking “I’ll be the least flexible / most injured / oldest person there,” you’re not alone — that’s exactly what almost every new student tells me. And every one of them settles in just fine.

Everything is provided — mats, chairs, props, bolsters, blankets. You don’t need to bring anything with you (although a jumper and some warm socks are a good idea, even in summer — we spend a lot of time lying down and relaxing).

The mats are premium eco-friendly antimicrobial cork. The blankets are 100% Merino wool — warm and weighty enough to feel like a hug.

In Summer, we open all the doors and windows to make the most of the breeze. In Winter, we have the luxury of underfloor heating and a personal heat pack will be waiting for you on your mat when you arrive.

All music featured in classes is composed and provided by Music of Wisdom.

Every detail, from the blankets to the view of Pittwater, is designed to help you slow down, breathe and feel grounded – supporting your nervous system from the moment you arrive.

Access Info

The studio is located in our backyard and the block is steep, so you’ll need to walk down around 50 steps to get there. There’s a handrail along most of the way (about 90%), with just one short flat stretch without it. These steps may not suit everyone, and I completely understand that.

If stairs are tricky for you, there are two great alternatives:

Chair Yoga on Thursdays at 2pm at the Avalon Recreation Centre (term time only).
Online Yin Yoga Studio – a library of pre-recorded videos you can do from the comfort of home.

If you can manage the steps, you’ll find the yoga itself gentle, supported, and very manageable.

Paradise Yoga is peaceful, grounding, and deeply calming. I can’t wait to welcome you to our little slice of stillness.
