Studio FAQ & Guidelines:

Arrive Early: We suggest arriving 10 minutes before class to sign in and get settled. If you happen to arrive late, please quietly find a spot at the back of the room so as not to disrupt the class. Keep in mind, the door is often locked a few minutes into class due to wind and student safety, so be sure to arrive on time!
Drop-Ins Welcome! While we love spontaneous visits, our cozy studio fills up quickly, so we highly recommend booking in advance to ensure you have a spot.
No Shoes: We kindly ask that you remove your shoes before stepping into our sacred space.
Store Your Belongings: To keep the space clear, we kindly ask that you place your belongings on the hooks provided or on the cupboard shelving before settling onto your mat.
Mats Available: If you don’t have a mat, no worries! We have studio mats you can borrow. If you use one, please kindly wipe it down with the provided anti-bacterial spray and hang it up afterward. If you have your own mat, especially for heated classes, we encourage you to bring it along.
Props to Support Your Practice: We provide a range of props including blocks, bolsters, straps, medicine balls, and eye pillows to enhance your practice. Feel free to use them as needed!
Scent-Free Zone: To honor everyone’s comfort, we ask that you avoid wearing heavy perfumes to class, as some of our students are sensitive to strong scents.
Shirts Policy: For your comfort and hygiene, we ask that all students wear a shirt during infrared heated classes, and all yoga classes. Lightweight, breathable clothing is ideal for staying cool and comfortable.
Bring a Towel for Heated Classes: For our heated vinyasa & flow classes, please bring a towel large enough to absorb sweat. If you forget, we have a limited number available for hire at $5 per class. This is a non-negotiable health and safety requirement.
Stay Hydrated: Please bring a water bottle to all heated classes. Hydration is key. Filtered water is always available.
Feel at Home and Enjoy Your Practice! We’re here to support you every step of the way, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.

We can’t wait to see you on the mat! 🙏🏼✨

meet the owners

Hey, we’re Pete and Carley — the accidental yogis who somehow built a home by the ocean.

We never planned on running a yoga studio… but life had other ideas. Somewhere between burning ourselves out, searching for balance, and craving a space that felt real and human, Gnarabup Yoga Studio was born. And honestly? We wouldn’t change a thing.

Because we know how deeply a simple, consistent practice can shift your whole world — your energy, your clarity, the way you move through your day, and the way you show up for the people you love.

And we see you.
You’re juggling work, relationships, family, responsibilities… and still trying to find a moment to breathe. You know movement and mindfulness help — the hard part is carving out the time.

That’s where the Gnarabup Yoga Studio comes in.

Here, yoga isn’t about being flexible, nailing the perfect pose, or wearing the right clothes. It’s about coming home to yourself, even if it’s just for an hour. It’s about moving in a way that feels good, leaving class a little lighter, and remembering what it feels like to exhale again.

Whether you’ve practiced for years or you’re unrolling your mat for the very first time — this space is yours. A place to soften, reset, reconnect, and let the ocean do its calming magic.

And if you’re wondering where to begin, we’ve made it beautifully simple.

Mindful Mondays at 6:30am

A free community class started by Pete and lovingly guided by Mal.
No cost, no pressure, no expectations — just movement, breath, sunrise light, and the chance to start your week with clarity (often followed by an ocean dip, a coffee, and that grounded “okay, I’ve got this” feeling).

Because we believe well-being should feel effortless — not another item on your already-full list. Something that supports your life, not squeezes into it.

So let’s make it simple.
Let’s make it joyful.
Let’s make it yours.
