Our vision is to offer the science of inner wellbeing to every human being – a science that helps a person realize the ultimate potential within.
Soumyam, founded in 2017, is one of the very few yoga schools in Australia to teach Hatha Yoga in its original form. Trained in an intensive 21-week full-time program at the Isha Yoga Center in India, we are uniquely qualified to offer authentic and powerful yogic practices of different intensity, which bring enhanced energy, mental clarity, and inner balance to the human system. Each year we travel to the yoga center to further our teaching.

Intimate Group Settings
Taught in an intimate group setting, classes are designed to gradually introduce students to yoga practices through verbal instructions and demonstrations. We also feature informative videos that provide intellectual insight into the processes taking place.
