OM Yoga, formerly known as The Centre Om, has been a prominent figure in the Australian yoga community for over two decades. Founded by Wendy Samek, a highly respected yoga teacher with a rich history of teaching in Australia and Jakarta, Indonesia, OM Yoga follows the classical tradition of T Krishnamacharya. Wendy’s close mentorship under BKS Iyengar and his children in Pune, India, has shaped the studio’s teachings, emphasizing individualized poses, breath control, and the use of props to cater to each practitioner’s unique needs.
With a strong emphasis on continuing education and service to the community, OM Yoga offers a holistic approach to yoga that integrates history, philosophy, and physical practice. The studio’s dedicated group of teachers strive to make yoga accessible to a wide population, recognizing the mental health benefits of practices like meditation in a society where depression affects a significant portion of the population. By upholding the values instilled by the great yoga masters who brought the ancient art to the western world, OM Yoga remains committed to spreading the transformative power of yoga.
Situated in the serene eastern fringe of Adelaide City, OM Yoga provides a welcoming space for yogis of all ages and levels. Since its inception in 2000, the studio has evolved into a popular destination for those seeking a comprehensive and personalized yoga experience. With a wide variety of classes tailored to different needs, OM Yoga continues to uphold its mission of sharing the profound teachings of yoga in a supportive and inclusive environment.
