Yoga & Meditation for Inner Harmony in Melbourne
Established in 2015, The Space of Good Feeling has been dedicated to guiding individuals toward inner harmony through authentic yoga and meditation practices. Our founder, Swami Durgananda, brings over 25 years of personal and professional experience in yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry, having studied under renowned teachers and lived in ashrams for over 15 years. We specialise in Bhavana Yoga, a unique approach that integrates physical postures, breathwork, and self-awareness to help students connect with their true nature. Our programs cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, with flexible options including in-person classes, private sessions, and online courses. We prioritise individualised instruction, encouraging students to explore their bodies and inner experiences rather than striving for perfection in poses.

Our teacher training programs, accredited by Yoga Alliance Australia, empower graduates to teach with wisdom, compassion, and a deep understanding of yogic philosophy. We also offer meditation courses and continuing education for yoga professionals, focusing on practical techniques that integrate spiritual growth into daily life. With locations in Melbourne CBD and Mount Eliza, we create welcoming spaces for transformation, helping students cultivate balance, reduce stress, and enhance overall wellbeing. Our commitment to authenticity is reflected in our lineage-based teachings and emphasis on self-discovery rather than superficial fitness goals. Through regular practice, students learn to harmonise strength with flexibility, movement with stillness, and personal energy with environmental awareness.
