A young suburb with classes to match
Carnegie is one of the youngest suburbs in Glen Eira. At the 2021 Census its median age was 36 and more than one in five residents (21.7%) were aged 25 to 34, against 15.0% across Victoria (ABS QuickStats). Early morning and evening classes suit a working week, and the rebuilt, elevated station serves the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines (Premier of Victoria), so a class near Koornang Road is an easy stop on the way home. If you want a moving, breath-led class, read about vinyasa and flow yoga.
Halls and parks
The council hires out Packer Park Pavilion on Leila Road, a hall for up to 100 people with polished wooden floors that it offers for dance and exercise classes (City of Glen Eira). Outside, Koornang Park on Munro Avenue and Packer Park, home to the city's only cycling velodrome, are both approved for outdoor fitness classes from 6am to 9pm daily (approved sites). Any teacher running a paid class there needs Glen Eira's permit, which lists yoga by name (conditions of use).
