Curvy Yoga Course

Here's the truth we don't often hear: yoga isn't just for bendy twenty-somethings in tiny shorts. Your body – exactly as it is right now, with all its curves, stories, and beautiful imperfections – deserves to move, stretch, and feel incredible. Our four-week Curvy Yoga Course at Stretch isn't about changing who you are; it's about celebrating who you are while discovering just how amazing your body can feel when you give it permission to play, breathe, and bend in all the ways that work perfectly for you.

Come as you are

Fridays at 6.45 pm

Bonus: 14 days of free classes after course completion

We're not going to beat around the bush - injuries, limitation in mobility and bigger bellies and bums can make yoga a little more challenging. At Stretch we believe that yoga is for every body – young, old, big and small - which is exactly why we've designed our Curvy Yoga course.

This four-week program is an invitation for everybody to come and move their bodies in ways that feel amazing! With a focus on body acceptance and working with what you've got - we'll use lots of props and adjusted sequences to show you how you can make any yoga pose work for you!

Four weeks of growth

We understand that life can get busy, and commitments may arise. If you miss a week, you can always make it up in the next intake or the parallel course. Alternatively, you can explore the parallel course running concurrently at our sister studio.

Small group setting

We believe in the power of personalised attention, and that's why our commitment to your growth and well-being extends to keeping our classes intentionally small. By maintaining a cozy class size, we create an intimate and supportive environment.

14 days of free classes

We applaud your dedication to self-discovery and well-being. As you celebrate a significant milestone in your yoga journey, enjoy two weeks of unlimited yoga on the house to start your transition into regular yoga classes once you complete your course!

How do I find Stretch Yoga Holland Park?

Just look out for the beautiful brick building with parallel parks.


What do I need to bring?

For a comfortable and enjoyable experience at Stretch Yoga, we recommend bringing a few essentials:

To stay hydrated throughout your practice we recommend bringing a water bottle. Hydration is key to supporting your body as you move and stretch.

A small towel can be handy for wiping away sweat and providing additional comfort during your session.

While we have a limited number of mats available for hire at $2, we recommend bringing your own yoga mat.

What should I wear?

Remember to choose clothing that allows you to move freely and doesn't restrict your movements. As for footwear, we typically practice barefoot or with grip socks.

When it comes to attire, comfort is key. We recommend wearing breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics that allow for a full range of motion. Opt for flexible leggings or shorts paired with a comfortable tank top or T-shirt.

What if I have an injury or health concern?

We'll start to book everyone in 15 minutes prior to the class starting. Your teacher will be available to chat about anything that's going on and suggest modifications throughout the practice to keep you safe!

What happens if I miss a class?

We want your yoga journey with us to be as smooth as possible! While our workshops and courses are non-refundable, we understand that life can throw curveballs. If you need to switch dates, we can help transfer your booking to a new course for a small $15 admin fee (subject to availability).

The same applies if someone from our waitlist can take your spot. We know schedules can be tricky, so we offer one make-up class per course – you can either join a session in the next course round or use it as credit towards a 1-hour class.

And of course, if we need to cancel, reschedule, or significantly change the location, you'll receive a full refund or account credit. Have questions? We're here to help – just drop us an email!

What's on at Stretch?

Each month we have a variety of offerings, courses and workshops to help you deepen and develop your practice on and off the mat.
