Join our Bali Retreat this JUNE for 7 Days of well-deserved Rest & Rejuvenation!! Info HERE
Life Yoga is set in the lush grounds of the local garden centre, right by the river in lovely Goulburn.
Our priority is not your physical fitness...soz! We value your state of mind, your mental health and your frazzled nervous system. You will find with us a yoga practice that is designed for real bodies, not pretzels. You will find a community of people that are in all stages of life who believe in the power of movement and breath as a way to support a healthy lifestyle.
Our studio is beautifully designed to support your yoga practice. Located in the grounds of Gehl Garden Centre in the outskirts of Goulburn we are also neighbours to the lovely Valerie's Sunroom Cafe.
Your Teachers
We have been gradually adding some beautiful new teachers to the timetable. They are all AMAZING! They all have their own unique way of offering you a yoga practice and they’ll support you in your practice, whatever it might look like!
Don’t feel bad about not clicking with a particular teacher, it’s kind of like deciding how you best like your tea…not everything (or everyone in this case) will work for you!
Whether you’re after something strong to scare away the crazy, a deep rest or something in between, we’ve got a teacher who can hold space for you!
Ash Hogan
STUDIO OWNER
When presented the opportunity to purchase Life Yoga in 2025 the decision was a no-brainer! Having been part of the Life Yoga family as a student, a teacher, and now studio owner, the studio truly feels like a home away from home. Ash's goal is to nurture that same feeling for others; a safe, supportive space to grow, laugh, build community and meet yourself, exactly as you are.
Ash is a yoga teacher, coffee lover, aerial enthusiast, and proud mum to a wild and wonderful 3-year-old girl.
She’s been practicing yoga for over 7 years and completed her teacher training in 2023. What she loves most about yoga is the zero-pressure vibe. Yoga never asks you to be anything other than yourself!
You’ll often find Ash upside down in an aerial hammock. She especially loves aerial because it brings together all the grounding benefits of traditional practice with the freedom and fun of flying, kind of like being a kid again, but with more core work.
Come hang out with her (literally!) you’ll move, breathe, laugh, and maybe even fly.
Ash is our NEW Studio owner so you'll see her quite a bit! She does a double (Aerial & Flow) on Monday (PM), Thursday (PM) and Saturday (AM) and flits around between classes as needed!
Mel Champion
Mel has been teaching for a whopping 18 years and is incredibly well-versed in holding space. Mel's intuitive and supportive teaching will give you the capacity to freely explore your practice.
Mel is passionate about the power of meditation and its effectivesness in dealing with the challenges that life throws at us. It's a non-negotiable life practice!
And in between parenting teenagers, Mel loves a good chai and a great book and is currently enjoying the space and creativity that passing the studio ownership on to Ash has granted.
Join Mel for an energising Flow on Wednesdays at 5.30pm, Slow Flow on Friday at 9.30am and every other Friday night for Restorative!
Melanie Goodwin
Mel started practicing at Life Yoga 8 years ago when she was a gym junkie and major stress head! She joined up initially to stretch out my super tight muscles and for stress release. She soon discovered that Yoga was so much more and it has had a profound effect on her life!
She loves practising many types of yoga but my passion is teaching the slower-paced styles as she’s all about calming down the nervous system. Mel is a schoolteacher by trade and has a keen interest in the positive effects mindfulness and yoga has on her students. She is currently training to become a qualified kids and teens yoga instructor and her interests outside the studio include reading, reality tv shows, cooking, podcasts and spending time with her family.
Join Melanie on Mondays at 9.30am for a delicious Slow Flow and Wednesday at 6.45pm for Restorative!
Cara Robinson
Cara is a mum, partner, performer, unionist and local primary school teacher who is an ardent advocate for universal arts and critical thinking education.
She endeavours to weave elements of her passions for voice, language and drama – through mantra and body movement and awareness techniques – into the classes she offers to nurture a deeper connection to yogic practice.
You'll find Cara on Thursdays at 6am for Sunrise Flow as well as on the Sunday 'Yoga Church' rotation!
Kirsten Webber
A mother of 4, Nurse, Uni Student, Kirsten loves animals, swimming, hiking, reading and spending time with people who feel like sunshine (who doesn’t!?). With a stressful job and very little quiet time at home, Kirsten loves to give herself and others the gift of Yoga Nidra. She also takes great joy in a mindful Slow Flow class.
She loves getting lost inside of her practice and has learned to step away from the pressure of yoga being perfect or looking perfect.
She wants yoga to feel accessible for everyone and support others to feel comfortable joining her on the mat.
Our newest class edition, Kirsten teaches Sunrise Flow on Tuesdays at 6am and every other Friday night hosts Restorative!
Nicole Pace
Nicole started practicing yoga 13 years ago at Life Yoga. The journey has led her on a path inwards, learning that everything we need is already within. It is now her priority to make sure every person she meets has the power to find their own energy and inward path.
Nicole is a mum, change manager and all round adventure seeker, with many of these skills coming through in her classes. Having completed her Teacher Training in 2023, she loves practicing an energetic and fun flow that will bring you to the present moment…the perfect balance of effort and rest. She also has a passion for traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong.
Nic teaches Sunrise Flow on Friday at 6am and is on the Sunday 'Yoga Church' rotation!
Jasmine Armstrong
Jasmine lives a beautiful holistic life on the farm with hubby and 4 fabulous kids.
Jas loves practicing everything yoga but is most passionate about teaching intentional movement to release stagnant energy and make space for freedom within. She teaches a beautiful balance of strength and flexibility in mind and body .
Expect your classes to include intentional movement for fabulous health, while nurturing the soul and finding gratitude and love for our amazing bodies.
Join Jas for a luscious Slow Flow on Wednesdays at 9.30am!
