Discover Authentic Ashtanga Yoga at AYS Sunnybank Studio

Tucked within one of Brisbane’s most vibrant and welcoming suburbs, the Ashtanga Yoga Shala Sunnybank studio offers a peaceful retreat for students seeking balance, discipline, and connection. Known for its cultural diversity and strong sense of community, Sunnybank provides the perfect backdrop for those looking to cultivate mindfulness and wellbeing through the traditional practice of Ashtanga Yoga.

A Space to Breathe and Reconnect

Life in Sunnybank often moves quickly — from work and study to family and social commitments, it’s easy to feel pulled in many directions. Stepping into the yoga studio allows you to pause, breathe, and return to yourself. The space has been thoughtfully created to feel calm and grounding, with a focus on supporting every student’s personal journey.

The classes are small and intentionally guided, allowing each student to receive individual attention. Whether you are joining your first Step 1 Class Series or progressing through the Mysore-style practice, Richard provide careful adjustments and gentle encouragement to help you move safely and mindfully.

Authentic Teaching Rooted in Tradition

Richard Clark trained under Iain Clark, in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, bringing over 25 years of teaching experience to every class.

Each class invites students to connect with the three pillars of Ashtanga: Asana (posture), Pranayama (breath control), and Drishti (focused gaze). Over time, this combination helps cultivate discipline, stillness, and self-awareness — qualities that extend far beyond the yoga mat.

A Welcoming Community

One of the most unique aspects of the Sunnybank yoga studio is the sense of belonging students feel from the moment they arrive. The Shala attracts people from all walks of life — professionals, students, parents, and retirees — united by a shared intention to practise mindfully and live with purpose. Many describe the space as supportive and uplifting, a place where progress is celebrated and everyone feels seen.

The community extends across Brisbane’s southside, drawing students from Macgregor, Eight Mile Plains, Mount Gravatt, and Robertson who seek authentic, traditional yoga without needing to travel far. Ample parking and convenient access via public transport make it easy to fit yoga into your weekly rhythm.
