I feel incredibly grateful to have found this studio when I moved to Newcastle. It has been a great place to experiment and develop my own practice and to better understand yoga. I always felt welcome and supported throughout my yoga journey. Curiosity, joy, and exploration are the things I learned and continue to cultivate in the studio and beyond... Thank you for opening such a beautiful place !

I am new to yoga and the entire Ashtanga team have been amazing to practice with. They provide the right amount of guidance and support while allowing me to discover what’s best for me and my body. They teach you poses and sequences so you can practice yoga without needing an instructor, something you do not receive in typical yoga classes.The atmosphere is unlike any studio I have been to, everyone practices in the same space no matter your level in a welcoming, non-intimidating, non-competing environment.

I joined Ashtanga Yoga Newcastle almost 2 years ago. I was nervous at the time due to the reputation of Ashtanga being for 'serious' yogis. I need not have been concerned. Josh has created a friendly, welcoming space to grow your practice no matter what level you are currently at. Beyond the physical practice, Ahstanga Yoga Newcastle offers a space to reflect inwards and step back briefly from our often hectic external lives. Thank you Josh.

After many years of searching for a place that I could settle in and develop my own personal yoga practice I finally found Josh and the community at Ashtanga Yoga Newcastle. The mysore style yoga suits me, allowing me to work with my body at my pace, while others in the room do the same. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. As a teacher Josh brings much experienced, along with a lighthearted and supportive approach, he intuitively knows when you're ready for the next step and provides encouragement that inspires enough confidence to give it a go. The age range and experience in the room is broad, I was very much a beginner when I commenced. I am delighted with the progress I am making, I'm doing things in my late 50's (after just 6 months at the studio) that I have never done in my life before. It's never to late or early to begin.

If you are serious about yoga, I'd highly recommend Astanga Yoga Newcastle. I've recently switched to Astanga after many years of Iyengar and it has rekindled my motivation and enjoyment of yoga. I'm grateful to the teachers for creating such a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere.
