About Our Yoga Studio

How did it all start?
Sanela is the founder of Holistic Yoga Studio,
Mother of two kids, a certified Yoga Teacher and a former pedagogist and journalist. After many different experiences she chose yoga to be her life style. Her yoga journey began almost ten years ago and brings her a lot of light, clarity, great peace and happiness into her life.
Through yoga practice, she experiences happiness, love and freedom and that is a reason why she always has a great need to pass on yoga practice to others as well. Because of her very positive experience with yoga, she began to feel a deep desire to share her passion for yoga with others.
To gain the highest knowledge and standard in Yoga teaching, Sanela has made an effort to pursue the high education in Yoga Schools, based in Melbourne and the country where Yoga was born, India. This way she became a certified Yoga Teacher for Hata, Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga.
Teaching with the heart and promoting a yogic lifestyle is her passion. Her classes are affordable, intimate and transformative.
She leads yoga classes for all skill levels from beginners through to advanced, including the facilitation of sessions to individuals, small groups and large groups
Whether you’re beginner or advanced, she invites you to join her nourishing and heart centred yoga studio, the perfect place to get cleared, deepen your practice, strengthen your body, relax your mind, connect with yourself and relax in a beautiful atmosphere.

EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Marina Khalil2024-11-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been attending the Holistic Yoga Studio for the past 3 weeks. From the first call and meeting Sanela, I knew this was the place for me. She has an amazing energy, she listens to my concerns and works on movements that would help and benefit my body and mind, rather than pre rehearsed class. Sanela shares her knowledge and tips on improving the postures. Have to touch on emotional benefit of yoga. After doing the class, I feel extremely energetic, at peace and happier. If u like to do something for yourself, find balance between emotional and physical strength, take a chance and try a class. 🤗 Ljiljana Ivezic2024-11-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

This is my 2nd year with Sanela, who loves what she does and shares her valuable knowledge with others. From start, Sanela has helped me to be at ease and comfortable in her presence; and has put my anxieties at ease! Sanela explains how a yoga pose benefits me, and where it stretches, and strengthens, my body. Sanela's Holistic Yoga Studio at Wheelers Hill is a beautiful large room that is filled with enlightening music and spiritual incence when ever I am there for private classes of yoga practice with her for my physical as well as mental well-being.. It is a clean, safe and welcoming space for everyone who wants an inspirational and knowledgeable as well as an experienced yoga teacher in form of Sanela; who had her training in World Yoga capital - Hrishikesh in India! She also is up-to-date with modern teaching practices. There are also comfortable yoga matts and other yoga accessories for everyone along with great ambience and few pleasing Buddhas around the room looking over your life journey!
