Free & Low-Cost Yoga + Pilates Across the Gold Coast

At Essence of Living, we believe that movement is a gift, and everyone deserves to receive it—no matter their age, income, or experience.

For over 20 years, we’ve offered low-cost and no-cost yoga and Pilates classes from Coolangatta to Coomera, as a proud partner of the Gold Coast Active & Healthy Program.

These classes are more than exercise—they are soulful gatherings where breath meets movement, and community meets care. Whether under the open sky or in a quiet hall, our classes are an invitation to slow down, connect, and come home to your body. 

Who These Classes Are For

💛 First-timers seeking a gentle, welcoming start

🌸 Mums, dads, retirees, carers—all ages and abilities

🌈 Long-time movers looking to reconnect in community

🌻 Anyone craving affordable, heart-led movement close to home

If you’re breathing, you’re ready. These classes are designed for you.

✨ No need to book—just come as you are. Bring a mat (if you have one), a water bottle, and an open heart.

Why We Do This

Because yoga and Pilates change lives.
