Our Story

House of Shakti Yoga Studio opened it’s doors and hearts to the women of Townsville, North Queensland, Australia in 2022. It was birthed from a deep desire to create a safe and supportive space for women to gather, connect and experience women-centered yoga practices. If you had the pleasure of attending our studio, you will know that House of Shakti was always more than just a place to practice yoga.

We are eternally grateful for the memories, energy, connections, growth and healing that occurred within our magical little haven.

Whilst we sadly had to say goodbye to the physical space of House of Shakti and in-person classes, the journey does not end here. You can join Hayley in our House of Shakti Online Studio membership to keep the magic going.

Launching in 2025 🌹
