Not a workout. Not a Sunday sermon.
Sixty minutes of gentle movement, breathwork and meditation on the grass, under trees instead of mirrors. New to yoga? This is where you start. Been at it for years? This is where you come back to. Studio classes can be expensive and a little intimidating, and practising alone at home rarely sticks. Park Yoga sits in between: affordable, outdoors, and done with a regular group.
Who is this for
The total beginner
Never done yoga, don't own a mat, a little worried about looking silly. No judgement and no chanting. This is exactly where you start.
Tired in a way sleep does not fix
You're not unwell, just switched on all the time. Tight shoulders, a busy mind, and you can't remember the last time you properly rested. One hour on Sunday starts to shift that.
The Sunday seeker
You're not religious, but you want a Sunday that means something, not just brunch and scrolling. You'll find your people here.
What you get
Arrival and grounding
Roll out your mat (or borrow one), settle in, and meet the regulars. We start with a few quiet minutes to land in the present.
Breathwork and warm-up
Gentle movement to wake up your body without strain, suitable for any age or fitness level.
A flowing yoga sequence
Adapted to whoever shows up, with options for every pose. No advanced shapes required.
Guided meditation
A short, accessible meditation to finish. Often the part people end up loving most, even the self-described non-meditators.
Community after class
Stay for a tea and a chat. Many come for the practice and stay for the people.
Mats and props provided
No mat? We have spares, plus blocks, straps and bolsters. Just bring yourself.
How it works
9:45am — Arrive at the park
Find us near the northern entrance by the large fig trees. Set up your mat and say hi; Sundays are friendly.
9:55am — Welcome circle
We say hello to anyone new and check for injuries. Two minutes at most, then we begin.
10:00am — Class begins
Breathwork, warm-up, then a flowing sequence shaped around whoever's on the mat that day.
10:40am — Cool-down and meditation
Lying on the grass with the sky above, often the first time people exhale all week.
11:00am — Class ends
Stay for tea and a chat, wander to a nearby café with the regulars, or leave whenever feels right.
First class is free. Always.
First time at Park Yoga? Don't pay a cent. Come along, see how it feels, and decide if it's for you. If you love it, pay what feels right next time. If you don't, no harm done. We've run it this way for four years.
Testimonials
I came to my first class hungover after a friend's birthday and figured I'd hate it. Six months later I haven't missed a Sunday. It's the only thing I'm properly consistent with, and I'm better for it.

Newtown · 6 months regular
I moved to Sydney during the pandemic and didn't know anyone. Park Yoga gave me a Sunday ritual and a few real friends, both things I didn't realise I was missing.

I'm 58 and was nervous about being the oldest there. I'm not. There's every age, and Sudesh is the warmest teacher I've had. I bring my husband now.
