Abbotsford Convent is a unique and beautiful place with a rare fusion of old and new.
It’s 11 historic buildings and gardens make it Australia’s largest multi-arts precinct and an Australian National Heritage site. Sitting on part of the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri people, the precinct has 6.8 hectares of surrounding heritage gardens; offering a peaceful urban retreat. With the hum of nature and the silent flow of the Yarra River there is no sound of traffic or the world rushing by. It’s hard to believe you are just 4km from Melbourne’s CBD. The Convent is most similar to a countryside village. Filled with artists’ studios, creativity, cafes, galleries and markets, it is easily accessible by train, tram or bus.
The Practising Space
From intimate to grand, industrial to opulent, the Convent’s spaces are historically fascinating and bursting with character. Exploring and practicing yoga at the Convent will take place in a dedicated, open and owing multi-purpose room. With ornate, high ceilings, the steady stream of natural light and views over the green landscape, the setting instills calm, peace and the inner space to immerse yourself in the experience of yoga and community.
