Jackie Allen Yoga

THE STUDIO

Our gorgeous yoga studio is a big, light-filled space in the centre of town. The Studio is above Cyclescape on Sturt Street, which is a beautiful old heritage building.

The studio has a very cool industrial style and we have combined that with a few modern touches to create a beautiful sanctuary right in the heart of Ballarat.

Access to toilet and change room facilities.

We use Eco friendly Manduka yoga mats. These mats have a closed cell surface to keep moisture and sweat from seeping into the mat.
