Vitality Yoga

Melanie at Vitality is a yoga teacher like no other. Her years of practice and learning shine through in every class. I highly recommend.

I am a regular attendee at Melanie’s gentle yoga and yin classes. She is a profoundly committed yoga educator who observes and encourages all participants in her class. By paying close attention to every individual Melanie suggests adjustments or extensions to poses, making attending yoga accessible to all. The studio is a calm and welcoming sanctuary thanks to Melanie’s gentle leadership.

Every time I go to a Vitality class I regret not doing it more regularly!
Currently attending weekly Prenatal classes and cannot recommend it more. Melanie is a wealth of knowledge for mind and body.

Mel is an amazing teacher who makes everyone feel welcome when coming into the studio. The prenatal yoga classes were wonderful to attend, not just any yoga class but also great education and guidance for someone who hasn’t done yoga before. I highly recommend vitality yoga for beginners or advanced yogi’s!

I have been attending yoga classes with Mel at Vitality Yoga for many years. Mel is a highly skilful, engaging and caring instructor. My Mum and I thoroughly enjoy our classes. I highly recommend Vitality yoga.

I have been attending regular classes at Vitality Yoga for a couple of years. The space is gorgeous and peaceful. Mel is clearly a very experienced teacher. She is creative and highly knowledgeable. She provides personal
attention, guiding gently and her classes are interesting and help improve awareness. Fun is also on hand with her personable style. Classes are accessible and adjustments or progressions are offered for all poses.

I have been completing classes apart of the antenatal yoga semester and I cannot begin to say how amazing this experience has been for me mentally and physically.

Mel’s yoga classes are extremely relaxing, she allows you to work at your own pace and alters and moves that may be difficult for an individual.

Her work space is absolutely beautiful, like a small retreat tucked away in bendigo, it smells beautiful and is a spacious and relaxing space.

Her classes use positive affirmations and awareness of movement of your body to connect with your baby and prepare yourself for labor, birth and even parenting.

As someone who was extremely anxious for child birth and labour, I can confidently say I feel more safe within my body and even excited for birth rather than fearful.

I will definitely be making Mel’s yoga classes a regular thing for me in the post natal stages.

If you’re thinking about signing up and are anxious for trying something knew, trust me when I say so was I, and I am so glad I signed up and you will feel so much better for it!

I started yoga with Vitality over 20 years ago. The beginner classes set me up for a lifetime of healing yoga. I moved away from Bendigo for 14 years and couldn’t find a class anywhere that was close to the mind, body & soul experience at Vitality. There is a class for every stage or need. I love the variety and purpose of each class, and the props used. And the option to join via Zoom is sooo helpful!

Did a beautifully mini retreat this morning ran by Mel. Was a great balance of meditation, yin, nidra and some of the more stronger types of general yoga. A great way to start the day and allowed me to push myself while still coming out feeling all relaxed. I think I actually dozed of in the final recovery session I was so relaxed.

I was recently lucky enough to attend a yoga retreat and what a fantastic morning it was. Mel is a wonderful yoga teacher and she goes over and above to provide a great experience. I Ieft feeling relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated, I thoroughly recommend Vitality.

Treat and honour yourself by participating in Mel’s Mini Yoga Retreat. A beautiful way to spend Sunday morning. Mel exudes compassion and wisdom and the session was a nurturing tonic for the mind body and soul. So much positive energy flowing through the studio.

Just participated in a 3 hour Sunday “yoga retreat” at the studio with Mel (& Marta) & it was absolutely amazing. The perfect mix of meditation, yoga & relaxation.
I highly recommend any classes at Vitality. Thank Mel.

A great range of classes for all levels of experience that are reasonably priced. The yoga studio is beautiful; - large, light, airy and spacious with brilliant heating panels. As this is also a yoga teacher training school, the teachers are well trained and great at offering suitable options for different needs. Located in Quarry Hill, Bendigo, with plenty of parking options, particularly for night classes. This yoga school has been running since 1993.

I have been attending Mel's yoga fit class for 18 months and it has been life changing both mentally and physically. I no longer need regular osteo appointments and feel stronger in my body than I ever have before. Mel is an amazing teacher who knows bodies and teaches with compassion and careful instruction. The classes are varied, interesting and fun. I highly recommend Vitality Yoga.

What an absolute gem of a teacher!
Attended casually while in Bendigo for work and simply loved the deep, thoughtful and encouraging practice that Melanie offers.

Great range of classes, super clear instructions - easy to follow. Professional instructors sharing detailed knowledge of yoga philosophy and practices. A bit of humour combined with caring attention to detail and your well-being.

I've been coming for 10 years, as a complete beginner. Feel like I've been given tools for a good foundation, that I've been able to build on at vitality.
From beginners class to fit yoga, pregnancy yoga, mum and bubs, general and back to fit yoga again.
Friendly, supportive and a lovely studio.
Do yourself a favour and get along to a class

I have been joining in the online classes from Scotland. Every class is different, the sequences & cues are excellent & lots of options given making the classes suitable for new or experienced yogis.

After the live classes, I feel so many Physical & mental benefits. I also feel a class atmosphere which is something I do not get from watching a pre recorded.

I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy joining in the live classes at home. Yes they are different to a studio class but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, they’re just different. No travelling time, no childcare, a longer savasana or nip away sharp without disturbing anyone.

If you have been missing your yoga & are yet to try a live class, I would highly recommend that you do. Mel’s teaching is the same on screen or in person.
