Finding a yoga class in Elsternwick
Elsternwick suits a class on the way to or from work. The station is on the Sandringham line and the 67 tram runs along Glen Huntly Road to it (City of Glen Eira, Elsternwick structure plan background report), so an early morning or an after-work class close to the station is easy to fit around a commute. When you send a request, say whether you would travel from home or from work.
It is also a younger suburb than most of the south-east. At the 2021 Census the median age was 38 and 16.9% of residents were aged 25 to 34, against 15.0% across Victoria (ABS QuickStats). Evening and weekend classes fill first in suburbs like this, so name more than one time that would work.
Classes in the park
Glen Eira needs a permit for any commercial fitness class in its parks (yoga included) and issues them only for set areas (City of Glen Eira). None of the parks on its approved list is in Elsternwick (approved sites), so outdoor classes here are rare. Hopetoun Gardens, opened in 1909, and Elsternwick Plaza by the station are for a quiet walk before or after class. If an outdoor class appeals, ask a studio about the permitted parks in nearby suburbs, and see our beginner classes if you are new to yoga.

Are there yoga classes near Elsternwick station?
Tell us you want a class within walking distance of the station or the 67 tram and we will pass that on with your request. The studio can tell you its timetable and how far it is from the platform.
Can I do yoga in an Elsternwick park?
Not as a paid class at the moment: Glen Eira's list of parks approved for outdoor fitness classes has no Elsternwick park on it. Permitted classes run in parks in Carnegie, Bentleigh and Caulfield South, among others.
