On my roadtrip through Australia, I spontanously stopped by for an Iyengar Yoga class, which turned out into the most challenging class I ever did. The teacher was excellent, well defined in correcting the asanas as well as being so friendly and kind. I felt really stretched afterwards and left with a lot of magical yoga happiness. Thanks so much, I would definitively recommend this studio anytime!

Being from India, yoga was known to me but in a very general sense. I was keen to start with basics at an Iyengar Yoga studio and I found the best one here :) Jamie and Patricia are just incredible teachers. They teach you the right alignment, posture, making sure every pose is attaining its purpose. They helped me realise that yoga is more about balance, calmness and healing rather than fitness. Highly recommended!!

I was introduced to Iyengar Yoga by Jamie 3 years ago. I have been studying Iyengar ever since, both overseas and via zoom as I don’t live in Brisbane. I went to a ropes workshop with Jamie today, the class was fantastic. If you are looking for the best yoga studio in Brisbane go and see Jamie and Sylvia you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!!!

Truly exceptional yoga instructions in the iyengar style. I always found it difficult to maintain my practice until I found this original yoga teachings. It supports my life on all levels. Highly recommend Jamie as a senior iyengar yoga teacher.

My introduction to 'Iyengar Yoga' has been through Jamie's teachings. His studio at West end is spacious and has multiple props that help both, flexible and stiff body types understand the finer nuances of yoga poses correctly. Jamie's teachings are reflective of his sincerity and dedication towards his lifelong practice. Quite methodical with detailed instructions, his in-depth knowledge guides all levels of students into achieving (as he iterates), "effortless effort". He knows his students well and with his calm and ever smiling demeanor continues to motivate them into proper alignments. Always one who speaks of his Guru with such humility, thank you Jamie for helping me understand my practice better.

I recently completed the Spring Intensive with Jamie and it was fabulous! I'm new to the West End Yoga Centre, but not to Iyengar yoga. Jamie is a gifted teacher, providing clear instruction and guidance that made even the most challenging poses accessible. His attention to detail, delivered in a wonderful, light-hearted way, makes the intensity of the work a joy. The Spring Intensive took my practice to a depth I haven't experienced in years (and helped relieve nagging back and shoulder issues). I'll be back for more!

Started doing yoga at this studio earlier in the year after a few glowing word of mouth recommendations and I have been blown away! My progress has been quick and each session enjoyable - you always walk out feeling fantastic! Jamie’s approach is detailed and technical (in a good way) and he communicates clearly to help you understand the poses. Sometimes all it takes is a tiny direction from Jamie to help you make great improvements to your technique. Can’t recommend West End Yoga enough!

I've been a student at West End Yoga Centre since it began in 2014. I keep going back because Jamie is the best yoga teacher I've ever had. In 2020, he seamlessly transitioned to online Zoom classes and his knowledgeable teaching continued to challenge my practice in that space, however Jamie's recent return to studio classes in West End has reminded me of his unique and invaluable studio style of 'yoga teaching' rather than just 'yoga doing'. I'm really looking forward to West End Yoga Centre having a new home in the heart of West End.

I have been taking classes at the West End Yoga Centre for about 6 months. It has been such a wonderful addition to my routine. The Iyengar method is certainly my preferred method for the commitment to proper alignment and working hard while in a pose - it is much tougher than it looks! Jamie (and all the instructors) are very welcoming and the teaching style is accessible while also challenging students to truly connect to their mind and bodies. I highly recommend West End Yoga Centre.

On a recent visit to Brisbane i happened to find this gem of a studio. Teachers were inspirational and pushed just enough to attain the goal of the class. Loved all the classes, especially the pranayama class as it is rare to find one that didn't put me to sleep and I felt the results of the practice immediately. Loved the location too as some of the best restaurants and shopping nearby.
