Welcome
Hi, my name is Leela and I offer a range of yoga & mindfulness classes, workshops and events.
In 2024 I was fortunate to take over South Hobart Yoga & Meditation (SHYAM) - a beautiful yoga and meditation studio located within the SOHO Living Arts Centre on Weld Street. It truly is a hidden sanctuary within Hobart.
I have been deeply informed by the Satyananda yoga tradition and my yoga classes include many different elements of yoga - chanting, hand gestures, cleansing practices, breathing practices, yoga postures, deep relaxation technique, meditation, yogic philosophy and yogic psychology.
Yoga classes
A little about my yoga classes
All yoga classes are a spacious 1.5 hour long. They include yoga postures, breathing techniques and a guided relaxation practice. More experienced classes also include a short meditation practice.
I don't offer physical adjustments. Instead I guide you step by step focusing on what
feels good and right for your body.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness Meditation
I offer mindfulness meditation classes that blend group practice, theory and reflection.
"Mindfulness has transformed my life. It brings an awareness & easing of tenacious habits,
less reactivity & better sleep. Thank you Leela for your deeply lived experience &
compassionate instruction."

Testimonials
Michael has diabetes
Yoga is helping me develop a connection between my mind and body that I have missed before. The best and most noticeable change is a shift in motivation to better manage my diabetes. In such a short time, my practice at SHYAM is accelerating my healing in ways I wasn’t expecting.
Emma suffered with PTSD
I have found peace and calm for the first time in decades! I am a living example that through yoga and meditation there can be a full recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder and that the power of recovery lives inside every one of us.
Colin looks forward to yoga
Yoga has become part of the structure of my week. It’s something I look forward to and value. I know it helps me physically and mentally. Yoga is non-judgemental, you can tread your own path at your own pace.
