Udara Studio

Dr Gemma Perry has spent years researching the neuroscience of chanting ancient yoga mantra, including a 2025 systematic review of 24 brain imaging studies. The findings point to real changes in attention, emotional regulation and the parts of the brain linked to overthinking.

Gemma is joining us at Udara along with her colleague and research partner, neuroscientist Oliver Baumann, to unpack the research and the practice together.

If you’re in a season of life where understanding your nervous system matters more than pushing through it, then this workshop is for you.

No previous meditation or chanting experience required. Come as you are. 💚

Join sandy king 🪐 and Lydia Richards for an uplifting evening of mantra, music and heartfelt connection at Udara’s Community Kirtan on Saturday, 8 August from 5.00 pm to 6.30 pm.

Accompanied by drummer Robb Blackwood, Sandy and Lydia will share a selection of their most cherished yogic mantras, inviting us into the joyful practice of kirtan.

We will blend our voices in sacred song, chanting the names of the Divine and honouring some of the most revered yogic deities.

Through music and mantra, we reconnect with the qualities and gifts they embody – love, wisdom, courage, compassion, and joy to name a few – awakening these same energies that already reside within each of us.

It is a beautiful opportunity to return to the heart, find stillness amidst life’s busyness, and share in the uplifting power of community.

Come exactly as you are. No previous singing or chanting experience is needed – everyone is welcome.

Chai and sweet treats will also be shared.

You can find the link to the event in our bio. 🙏

Something new is coming to the flow room. 🙏

From July, we’re opening a Monday evening 6pm Flow class in the non-heated room, and we’re proud of who will be teaching it.

These classes are led by emerging teachers, recent graduates of the Golden Yoga School trained under Sandy King, who many of you already know and love.

Each teacher will take the class for a month at a time, building real teaching experience in a supportive room with real bodies, real connection, and a studio that backs them.

This is not a community class where the teachers don’t get paid. Graduate yoga teachers are qualified, and deserve to be paid for their time and those qualifications.

Too often, people are expected to teach for free after investing their time, money and heart into their craft.

At Udara, we believe in doing the right thing by our people, not only legally but ethically. Paying our teachers fairly for their skill and their freshly earned experience is simply part of how we run our business.

For our members, these classes sit outside your usual class numbers, so you can come along as an additional class on top of your class membership. For anyone new to the studio, or wanting to drop in casually, these classes are just $15.

A gentle, accessible way to move with us and to support the next wave of yoga teachers here in Hobart.

We’d love to see our graduate teachers’ families and friends in the room too. Come and cheer them on.

This is what supporting our yoga community looks like, in a way that feels fair, grounded and true to everything we stand for.

We can’t wait to welcome you.

Mondays, 6pm, non-heated flow room. From July 6th.

Happy birthday to our yoga teaching, nutritional coach extraordinaire Beccy over at . We hope you had the most beautiful day, darling. 🙏🙏

Focusing on the muladhara (mother energy) join the beautifully supportive and inspiring Anna-Maria for a special Mother’s Day yoga class in our Flow room at 11am this Sunday, the 10th of May.

Bring your mum/grandmother/aunt/daughter or loved one to the studio to share your love and appreciation for all that they bring to your life.

We know this day can be hard for those who no longer have their mother or loved ones in their lives, or whose stories were written differently to what they may have wished for. Please know that you can bring anyone who is loved by you, and important in your life to flow with you this Sunday. 🙏

Your loved one can grab their free class at the link in the comments and then all they need to do is jump into the 11am class slot on our timetable here: https://momence.com/m/731068 to join you.

Have a sleep in and a relaxing start to the morning then give yourself (and a loved one!) the gift of movement this Mother’s Day - for your mother, or anyone else who plays a beautifully important role in your life.

It’s been a while coming, but from April 20th, we’re making some changes to our reformer Pilates timetable, and we’re SO excited to share an explanation of these, and all our class types with you.

So what’s new?

Meet: Reformer Align and Reformer Rise.

These classes now sit alongside our Foundations, Flow (what you currently know as our general Reformer Pilates classes right now) and Restore reformer classes.

This means you can give your body a mix of what it needs to support you in this season of life - and build your capacity for life outside of the studio. 🙏

Whether you’re just starting out, perfecting your technique, looking for flow, ready for challenge, or needing recovery and regulation, there’s a reformer class designed for how you move.

There’s no better time, then, to put together a complete guide showing all our yoga classes too (Flow, Heated, Slow Flow, Yin and Foundations), so you can see the full picture of what we offer and where to start.

Save this post to look back on later. Swipe through to find your class, or if you’re not sure where to begin, reach out to us for help. We’ve made some recommendations in the final slides, but we love to tailor our class recommendations to your life, your timetable, and what your body and soul need most when you first come to our studio.

Every body is different, and our classes are now supporting you with what your body needs most in this season.

Send us a message if you want a beautiful way to try any of these classes with us. 🙏
