Melbourne Yoga Expo The countdown to Melbourne's first Yoga Expo has begun! Make sure you put the 31st of August in your calendar because this is an event you won't want to miss. With free yoga classes, seminars and demonstrations by some of the world's top yogis and over 80 yoga related stalls, you will have everything you need to take the first steps on your yoga journey. Or, if you are already a practitioner, this is the perfect opportunity to enhance your practice and take it to the next level. In addition to this you can also sample free natural therapies, enjoy live onstage performances by Australia's best spiritual musicians, sign up for a yoga teacher training course, book a trip to India or taste Melbourne's finest vegetarian cuisine. All this under the one roof and just a short trip from the city.
The first onstage performance starts at 9am so doors open at 8:45am. Visit the Yoga Expo website to view a full list of Main Stage performers and lecturers and their bios.*
In the two yoga halls we will have the cream of the crop of Melbourne's yogis taking classes starting at 9:45am, along with some interstate and international names also. Feel free to visit the Yoga Expo website to view to yoga hall schedule.*
*Names and times subject to change. The best thing to do to keep up to date is keep checking the site for any changes to the schedule.
