Come for the yoga. Stay for  the community.

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.

Ashtanga yoga for beginners in Townsville

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

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
