What to ask before you pay
Starter deals, class passes, memberships and cancelling: the questions to put to a studio before you pay for anything.
Starter deals
If the studio has a deal for new students, ask what it covers, when it ends and whether it turns into a paid pass or membership by itself.
Class passes
How many classes a pass covers, when it expires and whether you can pause it or carry classes over.
Minimum term
Whether a membership has a minimum term, whether it renews automatically and how much notice it needs.
Cancelling in writing
How to cancel, how much notice it takes and whether a written notice is enough.
Other fees
Any joining, mat hire or booking fee, and what happens if you miss a class you booked.
The terms on paper
Ask for the terms before you pay, read them at home and keep a copy.
Starting out
Most studios offer a beginners course over a few weeks or a beginners class on the timetable. Either is a better first step than a mixed-level class, because the teacher explains each posture. Before you sign up for a pass or membership, read its terms. Services must be provided with due care and skill under the Australian Consumer Law (business.gov.au), and in Victoria the consumer regulator says a fitness membership should end on written notice, without special forms or a visit (Consumer Affairs Victoria guide). Tell the teacher about anything that affects how you move before your first class, and see beginner classes for what to expect.
Questions to ask a yoga studio
Before you book, ask about these. A good studio will be glad to answer.
Class size
How many people a class takes and how the teacher helps each one.
Teacher training
Where the teacher trained and how long they have taught.
A way to start
Whether there is a beginners course or class, and when it begins.
Mats and props
Whether mats, blocks and straps are provided or you bring your own.
The timetable
Class times, how long each class runs and how to book a place.
Passes and memberships
The terms of any pass or membership and how to cancel in writing.
Telling the teacher
How to let the teacher know about anything that affects how you move.
Where classes meet
A studio, a hall or a park, and where to park or get off the train.
Class levels
How classes are marked by level, so you join one that suits you.
Yoga styles at a glance
Studios name their classes in different ways, but most fall into a few families. The table below is a plain guide to what a class is like, not a promise about any studio: ask the studio how it runs each class on its timetable.
| Style | What a class is usually like |
|---|---|
Basic postures taught step by step, with time to ask questions. | |
Postures held for a few breaths at a steady pace, with a rest at the end. | |
One posture moves into the next in time with the breath, often to a set sequence. | |
Few postures, held for minutes, mostly on the floor and supported by props. | |
One to one with a teacher, at a pace and time set around you. |

Yoga in Australia
Yoga is one of the most popular ways Australian adults stay active. In 2025 about 5.1% of adults did yoga, around 1.15 million people, and it ranked ninth of all sport and physical activities, just behind Pilates and football (Australian Sports Commission, AusPlay 2025 national data tables). Adults aged 25 to 54 take part most, and women far more than men: 8.5% of women against 1.6% of men.
Classes are not only in the capitals. Our city pages cover every state and territory capital and the regional centres of about 40,000 people or more, from the Gold Coast to Geraldton, each with the halls, parks and council rules near it. See the cities and regions we cover.
