MOVE for a healthy body
BREATHE for a calm mind
RELAX to uplift your spirit
Yoga fundamentally means union, joining or bringing your mind and body back together. The body benefits from movement, and the mind benefits from stillness.
Since 2006 Clayfield Yoga Studio (CYS) in Brisbane Northside has created a space for our students to feel at home. Our studio has open windows, wooden floors, pressed tin ceilings, and many plants. Our classes are smaller, so you have space around your mats and personal attention.
Your busy life pulls you in many directions, and at CYS, you are in a safe space to settle back to wholeness through moving, breathing, and relaxing.
Yoga is for everyone, regardless.
After many years of going to the gym I found it was no longer meeting my needs, so I decided to give yoga a try. This was the best decision concerning my health I could have ever made.
Yoga has been more for me than just a way to maintain flexibility and physical strength; it has helped me obtain inner strength, the ability to breathe correctly, thus helping my posture and the means to bring some form of peace to my sometimes chaotic mind.
Even after four years or so I look forward to yoga classes with a sense of enthusiasm and enjoyment. To all those yoga teachers who have brought their unique talents and skills to classes and workshops I have attended, I give my heartfelt thanks. You have made a difference to my life!

My first time doing yoga I was not sure what to expect when I started. My previous exercise/fitness activities have all been more intense and fast-paced (not that yoga is easy). I would have to say now that I have found yoga I wish I had started 20 years ago!
My limited yoga knowledge was related to the poses and movements but I understand now that is only a small part of the practice. I am more aware of the connection between my mind and body (and breath) – and this has been the greatest benefit for me. Stilling my mind (even for a short time) has far outweighed any physical benefits I have gained (though I am a bit more flexible).
The environment at Clayfield Yoga is very comfortable and welcoming – which has helped a complete yoga novice like myself. I have found all of the teachers to be really helpful and good at explaining the practice, helping and encouraging along the journey.
