Truly wonderful experience with a wonderful couple. Doesn't matter which level you're in, they manage to give you their undivided attention, so that each person feels special... I travel to their classes from Northern Beaches and it's worth it! Be it Bronte or Strathfield or any other place, it's always a pleasure!

As close to real yoga as it gets.
I've been to several yoga teachers around the world, and let me tell you - not all of them are the same. Of course there are many different directions in yoga, and not all of them are the same, but what I am trying to say here, is these guys have real passion for what they are doing. Yoga is the main thing in their life, and that's how they teach it. They don't just teach it as a mere fitness program, but rather as a complete practice for mind, soul, and body. I've attended a few yoga teachers in India, those that I consider to be a real deal, those that have dedicated their lives to yoga, and I must admit that Anton and Alena are as close to that as it gets in a western world.

The course is very organised and helpful. In winter I used to feel cold in palms and feet. Also I have sufferred some pain in shoulders and back due to a lot of repeated daily lifting and stretching work. Through the yoga practise the circulation has been motivated and proper twisting and stretching help shoulder and back pain relief. I suffered less from the daily physical work. But sometimes after class, I did feel a bit dizzy in head or some hurting in some body part: like shoulder again or fingers. So I do not push myself too much in the class and the situation improves as well. The class is really something you like to devote your heart and mind into it. Thanks! all the teacher and the classmates, we made this happened!

Fantastic Yoga Teachers
I have been attending Anton and Alyonas' classes for close to a year now. The teachers are very attentive and can structure a class to include many different aspects of yoga practice. Always challenging but never too difficult, I have noticed the impact of continued practice on my energy levels and personal satisfaction. I always come out of a practice session with renewed power, energy and desire to continue my learning. The classes have opened up new areas of my body and mind and have taught me increased patience, strength and flexibility in all areas of life. Had I begun learning with different teachers, it worries me to think where I could be right now. I firmly believe I am receiving the greatest possible teaching for my personal situation. Anton and Alyona constantly motivate me and make me believe anything is possible. They are an inspirational team, and I thank them for the constant hard work they do to make my experience absolutely worthwhile.

Stop thinking how you need to do yoga, just come and do it with Anton and Alyona! You'll be amazed!
It was extremely lucky for us to meet Anton and Alyona. Apart from being a fantastic people, they totally live, breath and dream YOGA! Yoga is in everything they do, it's their way of life. Even better, they share that passion with everybody! So, that's why every class is so professional, structured and interesting. I mean, these guys know a lot about yoga (and I mean A LOT), you will NEVER get bored, they teach numerous asanas (each time there's something new) providing you with endless opportunities to improve your flexibility, balance, strength, endurance and, with that, your state of mind and general well-being. They will make sure your body is pushed to the limits, however they will also check that you're not over stretching or putting too much pressure on where body can't handle. So, it's perfect for all levels! ;) In addition, Alyona and Anton often organize yoga training in parks and camping sites. It's wonderful to enjoy yoga in the morning feeling the grass and breathing fresh air, the best way to reconnect the nature and recharge yourself with tranquility. Then, you can enjoy a healthy picnic! We definitely recommend to experience yoga with Anton and Alyona! At last, it's great to enter that supportive environment where it's much easier to actually LIVE that healthy lifestyle that some people can only talk about.

Proper hatha not for faint-hearted
There are plenty of yoga classes in Sydney. But in how many the student can say - the teacher spoke to me, checked my position and stance, suggested the variation appropriate to my level and still knew my name? Here is the deal - you come, you are given maximum of attention, but man, you work hard... whatever your level of advance is, you will know by the end of the session that you did this session properly. Hatha yoga as it is, asanas and pranayamas, all aspects are used, including asanas for massaging internal organs and meditation. How many yoga classes will teach you how to stimulate your intestine? HIhgly recommended for anyone with any level of knowledge of yoga. PS: After doing this class, you WILL NOT go to your gym yoga class again.
