we teach yoga, inspiring grace-style
Our Yoga Teacher Annaliese Szocs is trained in Purna Yoga, from the incredible Byron Yoga Centre. She is also trained in plain old-fashioned vanilla flavoured Hatha Yoga, plus Core Yoga, Mind Body Meditation, Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, Children's Yoga, Yoga Therapy for Children and Yoga Therapy for Special Needs Children.
In our Inspiring Grace Adults Yoga classes, we don't teach hot Yoga, cold Yoga, powerful Yoga, fancy Yoga (or whatever today's Yoga style du jour is) and we don't wear expensive “Yoga” outfits.
Purna means "integrated", "whole" or "complete", so our classes include Yoga asana (the physical postures or poses), pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. We'll even give you a bit of anatomy, physiology, Yoga philosophy and Yoga history in a non-preachy way. Sometimes it's good to know why you're doing what you're doing, the Sanskrit name for a pose, or why Yoga has eight limbs when people only have four.
Our Adults classes are perfect for absolute beginners, newbies, lapsed yogis, improvers or whatever you'd like to call yourself. We offer options for all Yogis (those with a regular practice will still be challenged by our classes), however our focus in beginners classes is on teaching you the basics.
We teach Yoga asana in a way that honours your body, we start at the very beginning (a very good place to start!). We had to get "The Sound of Music" lyrics in somewhere.
Inspiring Grace Yoga at beginner's level is a little more static than other styles of yoga, because
1) we like it that way and
2) it helps you to master the basics before moving to a more dynamic style-practice.
We also do dodgy jokes and good vibes. Be aware that you will laugh, you will smile and you may fall out of poses. It's all good.
We don't focus on perfection, we focus on fun and a lighthearted approach to yoga, ourselves and life in general.
Don't take life so seriously - it's not like you're going to get out alive!
Please note that we have space constraints and maximum student numbers per class to keep the space and class comfy. In Geelong we currently have to store our equipment offside and transport it to classes. Therefore, booking ahead is essential. We don't have extra rooms to put people in, so if you don't book, you will not be able to attend our classes.
We thrive on keeping you safe and well-adjusted. Of course, if you're not a fan of physical adjustments, that's fine too. We do great verbal corrections.
If you're one of our amazeballs ASD Adult friends (people on the awesome...sorry, Autism...spectrum) and have any questions we haven't covered already, please get in touch with us for a chat.

here's what some of our yoga newbies had to say about our classes:
"Loving this yoga stuff. Thanks for showing me the ways and having a laugh at the same time. Annaliese's passion for yoga is infectious. She is encouraging and supportive in each and every class and has created a fun and safe environment in which to learn yoga. I'm loving the classes!
I think I will need a yoga chill by Wednesday. It's only Monday."
- Lizzie, Melbourne VIC
"Well I don't believe I am saying this. I did my first ever yoga session and I really enjoyed it, I am feeling so calm and stress free.
I think this will become a weekly event.
Thanks."
- Jay, Melbourne VIC
"Excellent, down to earth and very welcoming. First time I'd attended a Yoga class, easy to follow :)
I'll be back!"
- Emma, Melbourne VIC
"Amazing supportive & inspiring - Annaliese helped me see who I am, which helped me through a very hard time.
Thank you xo"
- Jasmine, Melbourne VIC
"Annaliese is the reason why I jump off my couch and keep coming back to this class. A great teacher that works with you to enable you to get the most out of each class while encouraging fun - how many of you can we clone!! You get my recommendation."
- Kim, Melbourne VIC
"I've been to the rest & restore classes on a Sunday, and the class has been magnificent, I've definitely left the class a lot more relaxed than when I start. Just what the doctor ordered. I'm looking forward to the new time, hopefully i'll make it more often ~ thanks"
- Kirsty, Melbourne VIC
"I feel that the universe has brought me to "Inspiring Grace Yoga". I am truly grateful and thank you Annaliese for contributing to my wellness and mindfulness."
