ExcellentBased on 67 reviewsLesley Alford2023-11-27Live and Breathe Yoga will energise and balance your body and mind in a professional, peaceful and welcoming space. Thanks to a great team of teachers.Lucy Mullins2023-11-24Arguably 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!Allison Lambert2023-11-17Very fortunate to have Live and Breathe Yoga here in Townsville, specialising in Ashtanga Yoga. I recommend connecting with Allison and her team on your yoga path.Bent Family2023-11-15We are so fortunate to have a world-class Yoga studio right here in Townsville. Allison and the Live and Breathe team foster a welcoming space where attendees can select from a range of classes. Whether you are a beginner, an experienced yogi, or somewhere in between, there’s a place for you at LBY!Carrie Smith2023-11-12Step into the Live and Breathe Yoga studio, and you'll find more than just a space for yoga; it's a sanctuary that embodies the essence of a supportive community. From the moment you walk through the doors, the atmosphere exudes warmth and positive energy. The Ashtanga yoga tradition is expertly embraced at Live and Breathe, thanks to the knowledgeable and supportive teachers who guide with precision and care. For those seeking a yoga community that goes beyond the physical practice, Live and Breathe is a gem, offering a fun and encouraging haven.Pauline thomas2023-11-10I 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 Dewing2023-11-09Such a fabulous space to practice yoga with teachers who genuinely care and take the time to watch and listen to students.. thank you I love practicing here 🥰Emma Thompson2023-11-09THE BEST yoga studio. Haven’t found anywhere like it after moving away from Townsville so I continue virtual membership with Live and Breathe. I love the flexibility of online classes despite missing the studio a lot, and I love the range of classes. Allison is a fantastic teacher. I am really enjoying Andi’s Pilates classes too.Alice G2023-11-09What a fabulous yogi studio! I love how the studio combines wellbeing, challenge and fun, the feel-good vibe, the sense of community, the quality of teachers and the peacefulness and nourishment from being in this studio space.. You'll feel great and feel welcomed!
