1998, Bikram Yoga & Wellness was founded by Jodie Petersen, an esteemed yoga instructor in Australia. Since then, the studio has been dedicated to making yoga and wellbeing accessible to everyone. Known for its warm and friendly community, Bikram Yoga Brookvale offers a generous space that is inclusive and serves as a sanctuary for many.
The studio offers three styles of yoga: Bikram Yoga (hot), Intermediate Hatha Yoga, and Himalayan Kriya Yoga. Bikram Yoga is a beginners' hatha yoga practise that consists of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises, all carried out over 90 minutes in a heated room at 40 degrees. It is designed for all ages, fitness levels, and experience levels, aiming to provide numerous benefits such as improved flexibility, mental clarity, and overall well-being. Despite its challenging nature, Bikram Yoga welcomes everyone to come and try it out for themselves.
Himalayan Kriya Yoga, on the other hand, is a new form of yoga that works with the energetic body to eliminate the karma carried on the physical body. Unlike Bikram Yoga, Himalayan Kriya Yoga does not involve the use of heat. Through this practise, individuals can discover their true selves and experience personal growth.
In addition to yoga classes, Bikram Yoga Brookvale also offers wellness services provided by their dedicated team. These services encompass a diverse range of therapies that aim to cater to individuals' physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
The studio frequently hosts various workshops and events throughout the year, with a strong focus on health and wellbeing. Their regular events include meditation and breathwork sessions. With a versatile space capable of accommodating up to 100 people, they also offer event space for hire.
As the pioneer of Bikram Yoga in Australia, Jodie Petersen continues to passionately teach yoga at Bikram Yoga & Wellness. Her experience spans decades, and she is highly regarded in the yoga community. Besides being instrumental in bringing Bikram Yoga and Ghosh Yoga to Australia, she has also held prominent roles such as a judge at the International Bishnu Charan Ghosh Yoga Championship and the founding president of the Yoga Sports Association.
No matter your gender, age, or experience level, Jodie and her team welcome all individuals to join the Bikram Yoga Brookvale community. Whether you're looking for a challenge or seeking to improve your well-being, they offer an intro pass for new students, allowing unlimited yoga classes within a 14-day period.
