Unwind and relax with a yoga class in Sydney
All Sydney mums will love a chair and barre yoga class in this relaxing Bella Vista studio.

Although Mother’s Day breakfast in bed is always a lovely idea, it doesn’t get much better than the whole family enjoying an amazing afternoon yoga session!
Before the family connects during this beautiful and empowering class... Stop for a Mother’s Day cuppa at a local cafe. We recommend going to Cafe Raon, just next door to the yoga studio.
