Wonder Yoga
While it’s normally Sydney and Melbourne that get the Insta-worthy yoga studios, we say the gorgeous Wonder Yoga in Geelong could give them a run for their money! Designed by the talented team at Folk Architects (who are also responsible for the amazing PowerLiving studio in Fitzroy and Yoke Yoga studios in South Melbourne and Torquay) the lush studio is an absolute feast for the eyes. With 55 classes a week including yin yoga vinyasa flow, barre and their signature class CrossFlow, there’s something to suit every style and experience level.
