Qi Health & Yoga

The Qi Yoga studio on the Corso was almost my second home this year as I worked on getting fit again and sorting out my career direction and life during my sort of gap year in Manly, with a cosy ambience and friendly crowd, and a nice mix of teachers so I could be determined or lazy…
- Oriana’s challenging pilates where I sometimes thought I must have accidentally joined the Marines. My core will never forget the ‘one hundreds’…
- Reformer classes at Freshwater, getting upside down with the straps for the first time and not freaking out.
- Becc’s Gentle Yoga for an easier time, but especially for the bit at the end where she creates a surround sound ambient with metal bowls, relaxing into that half-asleep dream state you sometimes get in Shavasana.

Holistic coaching:
I've had personal trainers before and decided to try Oriana’s holistic coaching. At first, I had no idea what that really meant, but her approach to training really matched what I needed this year. Every session was a bit different, everything from checking in on where I was at this week with life and career plans and what steps I was taking, improving nutrition and sleep, mindset, mood, just breathing… through to balance and weightlifting and boxing, and pushing me as hard as any trainer I've worked with before. Walking on the coast and outdoor stretches. Getting me to slowly be confident with inversions (shoulder stand), and more flexible and capable to actually get up there.

Overall really recommended if you are trying to make a bit of a reset and working on improving your overall approach to your life!

Fantastic experience. Great environment, with lovely teachers in yoga as well as Pilates.

A special thank you to Oriana, she is a lovely Pilates teacher. I joined her ‘prenatal’ Pilates classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays during my (late) second and third trimesters till I gave birth. I enjoyed the classes and I really appreciated that she readjusted the exercises for me as a pregnant person. It was so nice to still be active during my pregnancy and know I got the right exercises for my pregnant body that were safe for my baby as well.

I also joined the prenatal yoga at QI, again, awesome teacher. Dana is a friendly and warm person. It was always so relaxing to go to her classes. The combination of being active on Tuesday and Thursday, and a relaxing yoga class on Wednesday to focus on my Bubba and myself was a fantastic experience for my last trimester.

Thank you so much!

When I walk up the stairs of Qi Yoga Manly I can literally feel the stress start to recede as I breathe in a faint waft of incense and sense the spaciousness that is to come. A welcoming smile is never far away and I feel part of something - a community of like-minded souls. Come and experience it for yourself.

Love being part of the Qi Manly studio community. It has been open for over 20 years and has a real sense of an authentic yoga studio. The studios are well ventilated, airy and light filled and even though the streets below reflect the vibe of Manly, the space has a sense of calm and quiet. Where you can escape from the busy world to breathe and move. The teachers are professional and knowledgeable and really love what they do and are accommodating to all levels of experience. The friendly reception staff are always so efficient, helpful and happy.

Qi Yoga is such a special hub in the Northern Beaches. Highly recognised teachers, authentic yoga values and tradition, beautiful community and a warm and welcoming, unpretentious environment. The full package! Don’t miss their signature Kirtan events!

Qi Health and yoga is an amazing place to relax recharge and nourish yourself. I have enjoyed many amazing yoga classes and phenomenal acupuncture sessions at Qi. Give it a go for yourself.

I have been attending classes at Qi Yoga for about 7 years. It has made a huge difference to me. The teachers are all very well trained and experienced, welcoming and professional. As a middle aged person I really appreciate the care teachers take with instructions so that students don't injure themselves, even when doing quite hard core movements. There are classes for everyone, from restorative not-very-challenging ones, to really challenging change-creating ones.

Amazing yoga studios (both Manly and Freshie) which I hold dear to my heart! I've learned so much from my Ashtanga teachers over the years and am forever grateful for Qi

This is my happy place for strengthening, stretching and inner contemplation. The yoga instructors are warm and friendly. They communicate the postures and sequences incrementally and at a pace that supports learning. In a nutshell, for me Qi Yoga provides a peaceful space that supports me to consciously connect with the deeper layers of my being to return to a true sense of wholeness once more.

I love coming to practice yoga at Qi ️ They have wonderful, quality teachers and the girls at reception are so welcoming. They have a great variety of classes plus sound healing and other health/well being workshops which are always fun. Happy to be a part of this community

Fantastic and incredibly experienced teachers. Excellent variety of classes and styles, to suit all levels and abilities. Warm and friendly staff/teachers and a lovely yoga community. Highly recommend this studio.

Great yoga studios in Northern beaches. I love Qi yoga classes & always have amazing workshops.

Qi Health and Yoga is a local institution.
For over 20 years Mark and his crew have been providing a clean, professional and caring home for yoga and natural therapies on the Northern Beaches.
If you are looking for somewhere that sees you as a valuable and welcome member of their community - you've just found it:)

Qi is a wonderfully nourishing space with great teachers and alternative events to keep mind and spirit glowing.

A great place to practice Yoga. Wonderful, experienced warm and friendly teachers with many styles to choose from to suit every need.

How terribly sad you'll be choosing to discriminate against perfectly healthy individuals until the end of January despite even new government guidelines saying to stop. I have loved your studio and your teachers but this stance in my eyes truly goes against every ethos of any yoga practise. How incredibly disappointing. You've lost my respect.: (

Highly highly recommend Qi Yoga! I have lived over on the northern beaches for 5 years and went to Qi Yoga for about 4. Today, it’s been nearly 2 years I live in the eastern suburbs and can say that I still haven’t been able to find such a great studio to regularly go to. It’s also hard to find another studio with such a variety of styles and lots of classes throughout the day. I love that they offered 75 or 90 min practices too, you rarely see that in other studios.
I miss Qi Yoga so much!
All teachers were just great, I could trust that no matter what class I’d go to, I’d leave nourished and feeling like I had done a great practice.
Qi was also the place where I first practiced yoga in my life, and I’ll be forever grateful for that as well! Thank you guys for putting together such a special place and for having been so important in my life.

Knowledgeable yoga teachers in easily accessible studios and amazing therapists! My very own yogic sanctuary in the Northern Beaches.

I highly recommend Qi Yoga! It is a genuine yoga studio, with great and knowledgeable yoga teachers. I met amazing people at Qi that I can now call friends.
Qi Yoga is offering free online yoga and mediation class during Covid!

I can not recommend Qi highly enough. The teachers are inspiring and safe, the classes are varied so they can fulfil your needs on a given day and this is a community as well as a professionally run business.

I have been grateful during lockdown that Qi has offered free online classes if you need support and a donation from those not financially impacted.
