Relief from stress and anxiety is only a yoga class away.
Anyone who suffers from anxiety and stress knows how debilitating it can be. Managing anxiety can be a constant silent challenger. It creates feelings of limited control, low self-esteem, frustration, panic, fear and defeat. Stress is always with us. Unfortunately it seems to be constantly increasing. It probably is an ongoing aspect of your life. Maybe sometimes you feel over-whelmed with stress.
Whilst we can’t control the unexpected twists and turns of life, we can control how we respond to stressful, anxiety or panic-inducing situations, and build our resilience to recover afterwards.
Whether you’re feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed, Yogini Yoga Stress and Anxiety classes take us on a journey to soften back into ourselves again.
In Yoga for Stress and Anxiety classes we learn practical tools to cultivate balance when faced with day-to-day challenges. We make the body feel powerful and grounded, and we calm the nervous system. We explore grounding practices and techniques that you can do at home, work or university to help alleviate stress and anxiety. Expect asana (poses), meditation, pranayama (breathing), and sankalpa (making intention).
Yoga increases blood circulation, eases muscle tension and, when performed whilst focusing the mind on the breath, enhances the relaxation response in the nervous system – easing stress and anxiety.
Leave classes feeling balanced and grounded, and with the tools you need to give the very best version of yourself to the world. All levels welcome.
Class fees and attendance policy.
Come and try your first class for $20. (casual rates).
If you enjoyed it, then you are invited to enrol by the term. Term fees are $150 for 8 classes per term. In most terms there are 10 classes available – so you can miss 2 classes without having paid for them.
If you attend more than 8 in a term, pay the extra classes by the lesson. If you think you are going to miss more than 2, you are invited to do make-up classes during that specific term. Unfortunately no refunds can be given for further missed classes.
Casual attendance is welcome; however to get the full benefits of yoga, a full term attendance is recommended. This is because each yoga class builds on the work of previous weeks.

What happens in a Yogini Yoga for Stress and Anxiety class?
Often when we arrive at a Yoga for Stress and Anxiety class we bring a lot of mental, physical and emotional stuff with us. Maybe we’re running on empty. We might have had a busy day, or a hectic week, and haven’t had any time to stop and smell the roses. Maybe we’ve had one of those days when it’s been a struggle just to get out of bed, and everything we’ve done after that has been really hard work.
The first part of the class is about letting go of the day. We spent a few minutes working with mindfulness techniques and with our breath, to help us become more present. We become aware of ourselves physically mentally and emotionally – which is the first step of our journey to stillness and inner peace.
Next we begin our yoga poses. We start slowly and work with the breath to warm up the body. Next we move into poses and flows which encourage strength and flexibility. As our bodies become stronger, this helps us to become more grounded. When we’re grounded, we are more balanced, more confident, and more in control of our lives.
Sometimes we work with specific yoga poses, such as backbends. Sometimes we work with specific organs, like the large intestine or the liver.
We spend the last part of the class moving into meditation. We practise either mindfulness techniques, or practise Metta (Buddhist compassion exercise.) By the time we get to this stage of the class our minds are ready to let go, and without any more effort, we flow into deep and happy stillness.
You’ll leave the class feeling the best version of yourself.
I have been going to Noush’s yoga classes since 2008. I started taking the class as a form of exercise. Over the years I have used to it to help manage back pain, migraines and the stress of daily life. Noush is a lovely teacher who in equal measure encourages me to stretch my boundaries while also remembering to nourish and care for myself. My yoga practice is an integral part of my routine for staying healthy and well balanced.

I am both a registered school teacher and a registered yoga teacher. I’m a Yoga Australia Level 2 teacher. My training includes 320 hours with My Health Yoga, 520 hours with Yoga Physio, and I regularly update my training, working with senior teachers with international reputations and the highest levels of skills.
I started practising yoga to combat stress as a high school teacher (it helped so much!). This inspired me to want to help others, and so since 2006 I have taught people how to let go of stress and the symptoms of stress through yoga.
What makes my teaching unique? Students invariably use the words “nourished,” “grounded” and “deep peace” when asked to describe how they feel at the end of class. How do I make this happen? It’s the combination of dynamic yoga sequences, mindfulness, breath-work, restorative yoga, yin yoga and working with internal organs, such as the kidneys, liver, lungs, heart and spleen. These are put together in engaging and enjoyable ways.
Yoga will never be a quick fix for depression, stress or anxiety. It is, however, a healing and empowering way of balancing your life, your hormones and your body. Continuous and regular practise will help everything flow better.
See you on the yoga mat soon.
Warmly, Noush.
