Services
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga synchronises breath with dynamic movements, following traditional sequences developed by K. Pattabhi Jois. Our classes maintain this authentic approach while offering instructor guidance for posture adjustments. Practitioners build strength and flexibility through structured vinyasa flows suitable for all experience levels.
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa classes combine breath-coordinated movements based on modified Ashtanga sequences. Instructors adapt pacing to suit different abilities while maintaining the style's signature fluid transitions. This practice develops full-body fitness through balanced sequences targeting major muscle groups and core stability.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga provides foundational instruction for new practitioners while offering refinement opportunities for experienced students. Classes focus on proper alignment through slower-paced postures, making it ideal for mastering basic techniques and building confidence in yoga practice.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga targets connective tissues through long-held passive poses, complementing more active yoga styles. Sessions include extended meditation periods to promote stress relief and mental clarity. This practice balances physical exertion from other classes while enhancing joint mobility and fascia flexibility.
Online Classes
Online classes provide flexible access to all yoga styles through live-streamed and recorded sessions. Students maintain practice consistency from any location while following structured sequences with instructor guidance. This option suits busy schedules while preserving the quality of in-studio instruction.

Yin yoga taught on Saturday evenings is conducted in very odd and in my opinion, very unethical method. The mediation practice this particular evening focussed on the light hearted matter of women and wives cheating on their partners. The instruction was to think on how women cheat in marriage, and how they do this with their boss, their doctor or their Yoga instructor. There was more waffle on this topic. He tried to link cheating within your marriage to how if you dont practice your yoga regularly within this class, youre having an affair. . I wrote to the owner, Marc

I became aware of Manumission after experiencing Marc's incredible classes at Paramount Recreation Club and soon became a student of the school. Being a committed yogi I have tried every school in Bondi and schools in Paddington, Surry Hills, Kings Cross, Melbourne and OS. Marc and his mix of diverse teachers offer dynamic, grounded, and transformative yoga and it's all done with a genuine sense of warmth, playfulness and joy. Individuality is celebrated in the teachers and also reflected in the wonderful array of people the school attracts. I have more recently become part of Manumission's teaching

What an incredible studio. Great classes, which challenge you in a safe environment. You feel supported and encouraged by the instructors, who occasionally adjust your postures, which many studios dont do enough of these days - it is so great for learning. Marc Wittenberg is probably one of the best yoga instructors Ive encountered. Thank you Manumission Yoga for getting me hooked x I will be recommending this studio to everyone I know.
