YOGA NEWCASTLE
Move, Breathe, Belong
at The Yoga Shala & Wellness
More than a place to move, The Yoga Shala & Wellness is a space to connect, belong and come back to yourself. Tucked above Rajas Corner on Darby Street, our hybrid movement studio brings together yoga, Hot Mat Pilates, breathwork, workshops, events and community. Creating a space where movement becomes a gateway to something deeper. Come as you are. Move, breathe, connect and belong.
OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE
A place to move, breathe and reconnect.
We believe movement is for everybody, and there’s no one right way to move. Our mission is to create a space where you can move, breathe, challenge yourself, slow down, connect and simply be.
Through movement, meaningful experiences and genuine community, we create space for growth physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. A place that feels grounded, welcoming and real. No matter your age, gender, background or experience, there’s a place for you here.
A Yoga Studio in the Heart of Cooks Hill
Climb the incense kissed staircase to Level 1, and you'll find a peaceful retreat lifted just above the everyday buzz of Darby Street, Cooks Hill a short walk from Newcastle CBD.
Feel free to arrive a few minutes early; there's parking behind the Delany Hotel, behind Sanctum Café, or along the street and the space rewards a slower arrival.

Highly Trained Teachers, Real Community
Our teachers are at the heart of The Yoga Shala & Wellness. We bring together a diverse team of highly trained movement teachers, each with their own experience, expertise and way of teaching.
From yoga and Hot Mat Pilates to breathwork and beyond, our teachers are committed to their own practice and continued learning. We value knowledge that is lived, embodied and continually evolving not simply what’s written on a certificate.
Because great teaching is about more than knowing the movements. It’s about creating a space where you feel supported, challenged, welcomed and seen.
Our team brings different styles, perspectives and energy into the studio, while sharing the same intention: to help you move well, connect deeply and feel like you belong.
Beyond our weekly timetable, we bring our community together through workshops, events, trainings and experiences designed to take your practice beyond the studio and into real life.
