Welcome to
Live and Breathe Yoga!
Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or are a seasoned practitioner, our studio offers a space to breathe, grow, and feel at home. No pretenses, just progress—because yoga isn’t about how you look; it’s about how you feel.
Rooted in the rich tradition of Ashtanga yoga, Live and Breathe Yoga is a place where ancient wisdom meets modern life. We honor the depth of yoga while making it accessible, joyful, and downright transformative for every student who walks through our door.

More than a yoga studio.
At Live and Breathe Yoga, we’re on a mission to help you discover what you’re truly capable of—one class, one breath, at a time. Our community is built on inclusivity, warmth, and a touch of humor because we believe yoga should feel as good for your soul as it does for your body.
Allison has spent over two decades immersed in the Ashtanga tradition, learning from the best to bring this transformative practice to Townsville. With expertise that runs deep and a commitment to making yoga approachable, she’s created a studio that feels like home for everyone, whether you’re working on touching your toes or mastering a headstand.

Our unique program
To help you deepen your connection to yourself and your practice, we’ve designed a unique, year-round program inspired by the natural elements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Each element brings its own energy and focus, guiding you through a transformative and accessible approach to Ashtanga yoga.
Our year is divided into four terms, each dedicated to one element, giving you the space to explore and embody its qualities. This seasonal rhythm ensures your practice stays fresh, focused, and aligned with the natural flow of growth and progress.
Allison designs our program with the wisdom of Ashtanga yoga, yoga therapy, and the four elements, ensuring every class—taught by our unified team of teachers—flows cohesively and complements the next, creating a complete and transformative journey rather than a disjointed experience.

“I have a softer, more intelligent way of thinking of myself, my loved ones and the world. I have new tools to help myself. I came to this course for a combination of challenging myself, for strength and resilience, and a yearning for clarity. Now that the year is over, it feels like a new beginning, with hope for what my future holds.” – Allison L
“Allison shares her passion and knowledge in a way that is accessible to all and her team of instructors are all amazing at what they do, fostering a supportive and encouraging environment. The course is structured in a way that makes the time and financial commitment manageable, with payments able to be made in installments and blocks of study delivered in monthly intervals. Do yourself a favour and immerse yourself in what this course has to offer!” – Amy B
“This was one of the most wholesome and nourishing retreats I have ever been on! There was something special about practicing pranayama and guided Ashtanga yoga with the same wonderful people every morning. I have now deepened my love for Ashtanga yoga and the community of people at Live and Breathe. I will definitely sign up again for a yoga retreat with L&B in the future, and highly recommend it to anyone considering!” – Lucy M

Lucy Mullins2023-11-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arguably the best yoga studio in Townsville and probably all of QLD! I knew that this was the yoga studio for me once I'd read Allison's blogs. I felt a sense of connection and community with the yoga studio before I'd even begun my first class. Coffee every Saturday makes it more than just a yoga studio but a place where you below and connect with like-minded people. Definitely recommend!

Pauline thomas2023-11-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met the Live and Breathe Yoga family just this year in my recovery from breast cancer. Allison and our team of coaches are amazing. They are gifted and super experienced and also kind and inclusive. I have not done this before and my inexperience and clumsiness is welcomed. They truly shower you in love and light and provide brilliant expertise and unwavering support to believe in your ability. The biggest bonus for me is being part of a true community of non-judgemental women and men while I get to fulfil my dream of practising yoga for the first time in my life, building strength and wellness for life, getting complete relief from physical and spiritual pain and knowing that there are no limits to the feeling of peace and centredness you gain from Yoga. All this amongst friends while having a giggle. You need to join us! Nicole Dewing2023-11-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
