Cultivate Calm Yoga

I recently returned to Yoga classes at Cultivate Calm after a few years and I was comforted to discover it is still the most welcoming studio I have attended and the classes are always what I hope for and the instructors are brilliant, caring and invested in providing a practice that is flexible and injury safe for grateful happy students.

Where do I even start. Cultivate Calm has literally changed my life. I’m not even exaggerating! Starting 2 yrs ago with regular Yin classes weekly, slowly including Vinyassa and then completing Monica’s Yoga Alchemy Program this year, has been a journey to myself in a way that I didn’t know I needed until I was in it. Originally I was loving Yoga for reducing stress and anxiety, now these are both firmly under control and my awareness of myself is at an all time high, I practice to maintain this new me. I love the studio energy and vibe, the different styles of teaching from class to class really resonates with me. But of course none of this would be possible without the woman behind it all, Monica! The Gratitude I have for her will never seem enough. If your thinking about starting your yoga journey - there’s no safer space get started than CC!

I have been part of Cultivate Calm Yoga for several years now and have found them very friendly, accommodating and organised. They have a great assortment of teaches and classes, each with their unique approach. I find it very welcoming to all fitnesses and I have never been disappointed. It has a very calming and soul filled feel about it. I recommend going down and trying a class.

I have been drawn to yoga for almost 40 years now! Hands down this has been my best and happiest moments in yoga.

I love attending classes at the studio. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with no judgement. All the teachers are fantastic, showing care for all students and each bringing a different style to their classes. Wide range of times for classes which is great to be able to try and work around my schedule. Love the online booking to ensure not disappointed by arriving to find an oversubscribed class.

I recently joined after taking advantage of the trial period. After my first session I knew I wanted to continue as it was such a warm & inviting environment. My initial nerves were soothed as the instructors are welcoming and incredibly supportive. Would def recommend.

I highly recommend Cultivate Calm, it is such an incredible studio. From the moment you walk in the door you are embraced by the peaceful atmosphere and a sense of calm. All the instructors have been so supportive & encouraging and the range of classes is amazing. I have been very fortunate to have been the recipient a 3 month scholarship and it has been so helpful in my recovery from significant health issues. It has made an incredible difference for me over the last few months. Thank-you Monica for the wonderful community you have created at Cultivate Calm and to Sarah & Nic for the wonderful classes, I'm so grateful xxx

I'm a newcomer to yoga. I almost started yoga with another studio a number of years ago, but was concerned about how I would go as a "newby" alongside other experienced yogis, and how some physical limitations due to past surgeries and joint problems would be accommodated. A conversation with a neighbour who'd recently started going to Cultivate Calm got me very excited, so I went onto Cultivate Calm's website soon after. Everything I read online pointed to this being the place for me to try (as an almost 60 year old)! I was especially encouraged by the beginner's yoga workshop, and the great value that the $50 workshop fee bought re subsequent classes. I later paid up for a 6 month membership while a sale was on, and I attend classes 2-3 times a week, with all different teachers.
In my experience, Cultivate Calm definitely lives up to everything it "promises" on its website. The teachers are all really friendly, supportive, welcoming, and informative about yoga practice. I really like the "community" vibe at Cultivate Calm, and there seem to be occasional social opportunities to help build connections between yogis and teachers. The studio offers a range of generous and flexible "membership" options, and there are financial incentives offered for regular attendance. The class booking system is easy to use and works really well - even the waitlist mechanism for the most popular class times.

Friendly and welcoming. I felt very comfortable coming into the space and have been impressed by the quality of the classes. I would recommend trying Cultivate Calm.

Cultivate Calm offers everything I need from a yoga studio with its comprehensive range of regular classes and additional workshop offerings to grow my resources. The studio is run by a wonderfully supportive team of yogis who give that extra bit to be accommodating and stress relieving.
I have nothing but respect and praise for Cultivate Calm Yoga Brisbane and have no hesitation in recommending.

Beautiful calm space to escape the crazy of the world and reset the nervous system and the teachers are really lovely. Will definitely be returning? ‍️

Cultivating Calm is a warm and welcoming studio for all ages, shapes and sizes. I have found the teachers to be varied, skilled, encouraging and expert. If you are looking for a wonderful holiday experience or an opportunity to get back on to your mat, they offer a super affordable three week pass for just fifty dollars, for as many classes as you can take. Highly recommended Brisbane experience. Namaste. Marie

I have been attending Yoga classes at Cultivate Calm for four months now and loving it. The teachers are all very friendly and welcoming and I leave each class feeling happy, relaxed and calm. ️

It was my first time practicing yoga and I loved it. I've been an athlete for much of my life and many of the directions Monica gave during the session relate to fundamental concepts of sports science and physiotherapy that are often overlooked in performance sports.
Moreover Monica is very charismatic and her class was a very charming group of people from what I could tell. The space is also nice, so 5 out of 5 easy. Definitely got me interested in pursuing the craft.

Great studio, very friendly and inclusive. Excellent teachers and the timetable is comprehensive. I love it there. Monica and her team have created a wonderfully welcoming environment to unwind, de- stress and stretch a bit as well.

Excellent teachers and beautiful space - I have been attending this yoga studio for several years now and I have always been very happy with the global experience.

I attended the Practical Anxiety Relief workshop with Monica and it was so beautiful and transformative. Monica is such a wonderful teacher - calm, soulful and kind. She guided us through some deep breathing and body techniques and helped us understand in such a deep way how anxiety is a nervous system issue that can be managed through the body rather than the mind. I came away with a sense of peace and optimism for the future, with a new toolkit that will sustain me in my everyday life. I highly recommend this class and Cultivate Calm Yoga for everyone seeking to achieve change and peace in their lives in a safe and nourishing environment.

This is a well designed space and instructors/ classes have a warmth and gentleness that is special

A beautiful space with wonderfully supportive and knowledgeable teachers who genuinely care about your well-being. Not a place for being a pretzel in the latest leisure wear fashions, Cultivate Calm is so much more than just a yoga school. Here the staff support holistic health and healing in a fun, down-to-earth, caring manner where absolutely everyone is welcome.

I wrote an earlier review for Cultivate Calm some 6 years ago. Goodness me…. How much the world and my own situation has changed in that time!
Everything I wrote back then still holds true, but definitely time to update to a post-covid world.
Cultivate Calm remains an oasis in troubled times. CC kept so many of us going with on-line and remote classes even during lockdowns. And now so happy to be “permanently” back in the studio.
The staff remain as caring, competent, compassionate and understanding as ever.
The studio is still a beautiful comfortable place to practice. And the other clients are still the same sharing community who often support each other in overt and subtle ways.
I’m sure that vibe comes straight from Monica who leads by example.
If you are looking to start yoga, or are looking for a new studio after the sad closure of so many over the last few years, I can honestly say this may be the place for you.
Blessings, Lewis
