Antara Studios is located at 299 Ruthven Street, Toowoomba, directly opposite Non-Stop Coffee.

There is plenty of on-street parking directly in front of the studio and in the surrounding roads. Please note this is paid council parking with up to 30mins free between 9am-5pm Mon-Fri and 9-11am Sat. Another large paid council carpark behind the studio is accessible from the northern end of McCrum Lane.

The rear white concrete carpark directly attached to our building is a staff carpark only.

Access to the studio is strictly through the front door- take the footpath to the left of the RealWay Real Estate building and it will bring you directly to Ruthven Street. 

Please DO NOT park in the Rumours carpark or the RealWay Real Estate building as these are reserved for staff and clients of the centres. 

Our up-to-date timetable is always available to view here on our website - Go to Timetable. We will also regularly post timetable updates to our Instagram and Facebook pages, as well as via email updates to clients with an existing profile with us.

Our studio opens approx. 15 mins before classes begin. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before class so you can check in with reception and make yourself comfortable.  

Classes begin on time and to protect the experience of everyone in the room, doors will lock 5 minutes into class.

You currently do not need to pre-book your place for our mat classes, although it is recommended (and helpful for us!).

There are limited spaces in our Reformer classes, so BOOKING REFORMER IS ESSENTIAL. You can do this by logging into your Wellness Living account online/via the app and selecting the ‘book now’ next to the class you wish to book. If you are required to purchase a pass, you will be prompted for payment to confirm your spot.

We do not accept bookings for reformer classes via phone, email or social media.

You may be automatically bumped from the waitlist and into a class up to ONE (1) HOUR before class begins. If a space becomes available with less than an hour to start, we will contact you directly to offer you the spot. If one hour is not enough notice to attend class, please remove your name from the waitlist to avoid potentially forfeiting a pass. 

The short answer is yes, you can attend our classes while you are pregnant and you MUST disclose this to your instructor BEFORE class begins. Please include your pregnancy in your medical information in your profile.

While our instructors will offer you variations to suit pregnancy and a number of our staff have pre- and post-natal training, we strongly advise that you seek your health professionals’ advice before entering classes - especially if you are considering starting something new.

With a changing and growing body there are a number other factors to consider, including how far along you are, how you feel, have you practised before, are you high risk….. the list is ongoing and may change throughout your gestation.  We recommend beginning in Foundation Reformer Pilates and/or Begin Yoga, and we can discuss the best options from there. AVOID ALL heated classes while pregnant.

Leah at Bellies and Bubs is Toowoomba’s go-to specialist for pregnancy yoga. Leah may be contacted via her website www.belliesandbubs.com.au or via email leah@belliesandbubs.com.au 

Nope.

We wholeheartedly welcome you into any of our spaces and any of our classes, regardless of your level of experience. Our beautiful staff will offer variations as they are needed to ensure that you are supported throughout your practice, no matter where you are. 
The single most important element to your practice, is that you arrive for YOU.

We offer a weekly Begin Yoga class and Foundation Reformer Pilates if that is where you feel more comfortable to start your practice. These classes are NOT workshops or a series of classes, and while they are open to all levels of experience, they are tailored for beginners. Please refer to the timetable for scheduling.

Children aged 13+ may attend unheated yoga classes only with a participating adult. Parents are responsible for the respectful behaviour of the child and in cases where behaviour is deemed disruptive, you may be asked to leave out of respect for all other attendees.

Our studio does not have crèche facilities, and for safety reasons, we do not allow children to wait in the studio while a class is in progress.

Students aged 15yrs+ may attend classes without an adult ONLY with prior permission from parents - this must be emailed to hello@antarastudios.com.au BEFORE the class begins.

We encourage you to bring your own yoga mat and/or yoga props to all of our mat classes. We have a limited supply of studio mats that you are welcome to borrow - please clean them after every use with the antibacterial products provided.

For Reformer Pilates, wearing Pilates grips socks IS MANDATORY for hygiene and safety reasons. You may bring your own or they can be purchased in studio. Reformer Mats are also available for purchase as an added measure but are optional.

Towels and water bottles are welcome, as you feel is necessary (particularly for heated classes). There are water stations just outside of our studios and are available for you to fill/re-fill as required.

All other belongings are kept safe in our locker areas for the duration of your class. Mobile phones MUST be switched off or left on SILENT in lockers; shoes are to be left in locker areas or in our foyer.

Whatever you are comfortable moving in, whilst also being practical for the class you are attending - jeans are not going to be a great idea! Try not to wear anything too loose (it just gets in the way) or too restrictive (because, well… comfort).

Please consider whether you are attending a heated or active class when making your decision.

We use far infra-red heating in our mat studio.

Not all of our classes are heated, but those that are will be noted as ‘warm’ (approx. 28-30 degrees) or ‘hot’ (approx. 32-34 degrees).

Detailed information about infra-red heating is available on our Class Info page. 

Please always be mindful of your personal health when participating in any heated class – there are some health conditions that may be triggered or aggravated by heat and so we ask you to consider suitability accordingly.

Heated classes are NOT recommended for pregnant participants.
