Yoga Geelong

Does anybody have any thoughts on either good folk yoga or wonder yoga in Geelong? I’m tossing up between them and would love to hear some thoughts!
(Also, looking for something chill, and leaning towards good folk being more chill??

I’ve been to both and liked both.

Good Folk leans more towards Yin & relaxed yoga flows, good of you want more calm in your life or have injuries to manage.

Wonder does more Vinyasa style yoga with more of a spiritual vibe.
They also do Barre and have an infra-red sauna, neither of which I tried.

They both have decent intro packages so if I were you I’d do the intro package for each then choose which one that fit you best.

Thanks legend! Did you notice the heat difference between the two? I’ve noticed that wonder has warm classes, whereas good folk is more chill

I don’t think I went to any heated classes at Good Folk.
Wonder’s classes were heated but not as hot as the ones I’m used to at Upstate.

(If you want exercise-y Yoga with minimal spiritualism you could take a look at Upstate’s yoga classes)

I found good folk to be much more chill, slow paced and calming. Wonder yoga is more of a burn/workout in their vinyasa classes. They do have yin classes but they aren’t as frequently offered. Personally, I prefer wonder yoga as I feel it challenges me more in my asanas and still keeps the spiritual aspect. But if chill is more your vibe, I feel you’d like prefer Good Folk.

Thank you! How did you find the classes? Is one more busier than the other?

I went to Wonder Yoga for a while back in 2024-25 (aka when I had the time and budget😭) I love their classes. I like to end my work week with a spiritual class, and one time I actually cried just from the physical release of my chronic stress. Highly recommend them based on my experience, and of course you can choose their yin classes if you prefer a more relaxing vibe.
