Classes at all levels, 7 days a week, with experienced qualified & passionate teachers.
🧡 WELCOME BACK 🧡
Thanks to everyone for the support and kindness in this period of great change and uncertainty. We are thrilled to be welcoming you back for IN-STUDIO classes.
We have a new bookings platform with Punchpass since closing in March, so if you haven’t already done so please create an account and log-in to make bookings and payments.

Yoga is described as an ‘ocean of lore.’
Deepen your understanding of yoga and never stop learning. Integrate mind, body and breath and learn to adapt your practice to the inevitable obstacles that arise. Those obstacles become our greatest teachers in fact. Skills can continue to evolve over years and decades.
Students from other methods are most welcome to come in and explore this multi-faceted, complex and rich method. Iyengar Yoga is a practice for life!

David Morley (founder of Newcastle’s first Iyengar Yoga School) and Senior Teacher Amanda Hood (co-founder of Yarraville Yoga Centre) are certified Iyengar Yoga teachers, each with more than 20 years of teaching experience. Harriet Ferguson and Candace Schreiner are fully qualified and certified Iyengar teachers also. At Hamilton Yoga we only offer mature, experienced & qualified teachers.
Equipped with everything you need, the historic “Oddfellows” building has charm, character and grace. Freshly renovated and insulated it offers natural ventilation and gorgeously restored timber flooring. Afternoon sunlight filters in through the trees of Gregson Park just across the road and the community of students here is also warm and welcoming. We are a family owned small local business that offers best-practice quality teaching and many decades of experience.
BKS Iyengar was central in bringing yoga to the West, and was an inspiring practitioner and educator in the art and science of yoga. This method is loved and practiced by many world-wide. High quality teacher training, rigorous assessment processes & ongoing professional development ensure that wherever you go in the world the same exceptional standards can be found.

The new and improved studio is a very welcoming space.” – Sandra
“The depth of knowledge and experience the teachers at this school have is unsurpassed in Newcastle ( and probably most other places too). Individual adjustments provided during classes to ensure proper alignment. A very welcoming space.” Sue
“This is a beautiful place to practice Yoga. David and Amanda are great teachers. Their gentle guidance gives an understanding of each pose. It’s challenging sometimes but will also work with my limitations. It is a pleasure to attend class and I walk out feeling absolutely wonderful.” G
Our beautiful yoga-dedicated hall has recently had some major improvements. The natural timber floors have been restored and now provide a delightful surface for yoga classes.
Here you will find an emphasis on quality yoga teaching for a lifetime of practice. We teach authentic yoga, Iyengar Yoga, as practiced by millions around the world.
Teacher Training is conducted at Hamilton Yoga as a three year mentorship program.
Iyengar Yoga offers the most comprehensive training and rigorous assessment procedures available.
3 years of regular studentship in the Iyengar Yoga method is required prior to commencing training.
Classes here with Amanda are a prerequisite to be considered for this program.
