About Us
At Thrive Yoga, we believe it’s never too late to move with ease, breathe with intention, and feel strong in your body. Located in the heart of Lake Macquarie, we specialise in yoga and wellness programs designed especially for seniors and those seeking gentle, supportive movement. Our classes focus on breath aligned with movement, a safe, step-by-step practice called "vinyasa krama" to improve mobility and stability. We aim to keep progressing your practice for strength & vitality by building confidence through mindful movement. We incorporate breathwork or "pranayama" for relaxation & stress relief. This is introduced through guided breathing and meditation to calm the mind. We are in partnership with Watagan Squash and Wellness Centre to enhance community & connection by providing a welcoming space where friendships grow alongside wellness. Whether you’re new to yoga or returning after many years, Thrive Yoga offers a nurturing environment where every session is adapted to your needs. Our mission is simple: to help you move better, feel better, and live well at every stage of life. Come join us and discover how yoga can support your journey to greater health, independence, and joy.

One-on-One
A private yoga session is a customised practice designed specifically for an individual. Unlike group classes, where the teacher balances many students’ needs, a one-on-one session allows the yogi to focus entirely on your body, breath, and goals. This format is ideal for beginners seeking confidence, experienced practitioners refining technique, or anyone working with specific health or mobility concerns.

What People Say
Overcoming Anxiety & Finding Ease
“I stepped into Myla’s class completely outside my comfort zone, but I’m so glad I did. What began with nerves quickly shifted into a calm, enjoyable experience where I felt supported the entire time. I surprised myself by getting through it without panic, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.”
- Eliza G.
Deep Stretch & Sound Bath
“My session with Myla was exactly what my body needed. I felt an incredible stretch, and the sound bath was beautifully grounding. Having something soothing to focus on helped quiet my mind in a way I didn’t expect. It was deeply relaxing and restorative.”
Emma P.
Healing After Burnout
“After experiencing burnout and major health challenges, I was searching for yoga that truly met me where I was. Myla’s class was exactly that. I felt safe, supported, and encouraged throughout the practice. I enjoyed it so much and already feel hopeful about becoming more flexible and moving with greater ease again.”
Julia O.
Nourishing, Supportive Practice

Energy, Balance & Injury Recovery
“I felt energised for the rest of the day and noticed how much the movements helped my knee, foot, and overall balance after a year of injury struggles. Even though 6am is early, it feels like exactly the challenge I need right now.”
