The Within Yoga Story

WITHIN Yoga Studio was founded in 2023 by Masha Gorodilova, co-founder of Happy Melon Studios. Located in South Yarra, the studio operates from a single, design-led space focused on traditional, non-heated yoga.

WITHIN structures its timetable around clearly defined formats including Strong, Gentle, Yin, and Breath & Meditation, categorised by intensity and internal focus. The programming emphasizes slower, intentional movement and reflective practice rather than performance-driven training.

Beyond weekly classes, the studio offers shorter-form practice immersions and hosts off-site retreats in regional Victoria and overseas locations. WITHIN has been featured in Melbourne media for its calm aesthetic and community-oriented positioning, and presents itself as a contemporary space for mindful practice in the inner south.

The Reception Service

Our reception journey started strongly on the phone. The call was answered quickly and handled clearly and calmly. Our name was taken, we were asked about experience and preferences, and class options were explained in a way that made choosing straightforward. Pricing and the introductory offer were outlined confidently. We finished the call feeling prepared to visit.

In studio, the experience continued positively. We were greeted warmly as first timers, check-in was fast and the orientation was thorough without feeling rushed. We were shown where to store shoes and how the space worked. After class, there was a clear follow-up conversation about how we found the session, along with tailored recommendations and a direct invitation to book again. The tone was supportive and structured.

The Class Experience

Within Yoga South Yarra received The Fit Guide Five-Star Class Experience Award, making it one of Melbourne stand-out offerings.

The class was a highlight. It started on time, the structure and focus were explained clearly and an injury check was conducted. As first timers, we were spoken to directly before class and reassured about modifications. Instructions were steady and easy to follow, supported by clear demonstrations and countdowns.

Progressions and regressions were layered in from the start. The coach moved around the room, observed from different angles and offered discreet adjustments. Encouragement was specific and pacing suited mixed ability levels. The session finished on time with a calm cooldown. The coaching delivery was attentive and technically strong.

The Equipment And Studio

The studio environment was clean and well maintained. The layout allowed comfortable movement and the space felt thoughtfully arranged. Lighting and earthy design details created a calm atmosphere. The sound system supported the session without overpowering it.

Yoga props were in excellent condition and neatly organised, with subtle branding reinforcing identity. The aesthetic was cohesive and grounded rather than architecturally bold.

The Facilities And Public Areas

Public areas were clean and easy to navigate. The studio was simple to find with clear signage and a consistent interior style. The waiting area was spacious with suitable temperature and soft background music.

Changing rooms and showers were tidy and towels were provided. Amenities were basic and hairdryers were not available. Lockers were clean and well positioned but did not include built-in locks or hangers. Complimentary water was available and no retail food or beverage options were offered.

Digital And Technology

Booking online was simple and reliable. Sessions could be purchased easily, payment processed smoothly and confirmation arrived promptly with clear arrival guidance.

The website was clean and mobile friendly, with clear class descriptions and timetables. Social media reflected the in-studio experience and was updated regularly. Coach profiles were limited, newsletter sign-up did not trigger follow-up communication and no branded app was available. The digital foundation supported a smooth journey.
