The studio is elegant and invites people from all walks of life to
practice together and enjoy tea after class. With more than 10
different yoga styles to choose from, including their famous ‘enter
the zero stress zone’ Yoga Nidra, Prana House provides a peaceful
urban sanctuary. Further north, Yoga Flame is one of the only
studios in Melbourne’s north-west, offering a range of classes, a
thriving yoga community and regular workshops. If you’re a yoga
teacher, make sure to ask if the studio offers discounts. Some studios
get busy, so jump online to book your space beforehand.
Yogic eats
Never failing to impress with its funky dining options, the healthy
vegetarian and vegan joints are no exception. Around Prahran you’ll
fi nd a handful of healthy delights on Chapel Street. Pressed Juices,
Nutrition Bar and The House of Nutrition were my favourites. The
Prahran Market is home to a vibrant collection of international and
local goodies, including an organic grocer, cheap eat cafés and fruit
and vegetables. Close to Happy Melon is a hidden café, Walk Don’t
Run, which I would defi nitely recommended for unique breakfast
options and vegan desserts.
Fitzroy’s eclectic Brunswick Street is home to The Veggie Bar
and Radhey Kitchen and Chai Bar, my two favourite stops for post-
yoga goodness. The Veggie Bar, which feels like a huge underground
diner, is the go-to for vegos looking for a diverse menu. Radhey Chai
bar is a humble space with a vegan, soul-conscious menu. Kirtan
music plays in the background and you’re free to browse the Hindu
books while sipping on your chai. Still in Fitzroy, The Cruelty Free
Shop is a vegan’s paradise, selling everything from chocolate to
handbags.
If you’re a health food junkie, make the trip to Northcote for
Terra Madre Health Food Store (right across the road from Good
Vibes Yoga). This quirky space is packed to the brim with
fresh organic fruit and veg, bulk foods, deserts and so much more.
Pana Chocolate Café in Richmond and Monk Bodhi Dharma in
Balaclava also came highly recommended by my yogi friends.
And treats...
After some serious yoga-ing, I made an essential visit to Beyond
Rest, a fl oat centre in Prahran. The pod containing 500 kilograms of
Epsom salts, eases tired muscles and infuses your body with minerals.
Energetically, the experience is phenomenal. During an hour of total
sensory deprivation (you pull down a lid on the ‘pod’ and turn out the
light so you’re in complete darkness and silence) you can’t help but
begin refl ecting on life’s existential questions. When I emerged I felt
more expansive and connected to those around me.
Leaving Melbourne was bittersweet. I had found myself so quickly
welcomed into the city’s inspirational yoga community and felt sad to
leave the place where I could step outside at any time and fi nd a
beautiful studio just a short stroll away. “Could I live here?” I
wondered as I nostalgically took my last wander through the health
food store, stocking up on goodies. Although I’d spent the past week
in the big smoke, I felt the kind of calm I would after a relaxing
getaway. I was ready to take on the hustle and bustle of my inner
world after fi nding stillness in the city.
