About Us

Welcome to Yogatopia, where the journey to inner harmony, physical vitality, and mental serenity begins. At Yogatopia, we are not just a yoga studio; we are your sanctuary for holistic well-being.
Cheree has always believed in the power of the mind and manifesting what you want. A few months before Yogatopia was born, she was at a health spa in Chang Mai Thailand and was so lucky to witness Loy Krathong, the festival of lights.
As she watched the candles be lit and sent up in the sky she envisioned that these were like everyone's dreams. Even though they may not have the means to achieve their dreams they send them out into the universe in the hope there is someone out there whose dream or vision is to fulfil their dream. Cheree sent out the intent for a beautiful healing space in Drummoyne.

Our Story
In a surprisingly tranquil space, right on one of the busiest roads in the city, there existed a quiet haven with a rooftop. Tucked away from the noise and chaos of Victoria Road, it seemed destined for something extraordinary.
Enter Cheree, a passionate yogi, healer and seeker of inner peace and Ruth her guardian angel and benefactor who wanted to fulfil her dream. At age 8 Cheree told her grandmother “That one day I want a centre that heals people’s bodies, hearts and minds. I want to be a teacher and a yoga teacher. I know it will take a long time because I have so much to learn”. In 2009 her dream was manifested right down to the rooftop garden with the loving support of Ruth.
Cheree's dream was not just about physical postures; it was a dream of building a community, a space that would nurture the mind, body, heart and spirit. She envisioned a place where individuals from all walks of life and all ages and stages could find balance, heal, and grow.
Ruth secretly scoured the city looking for a space. Ruth said the minute I saw the space my eyes lit up and there was no chance to even negotiate the price because the agent already could see it was ours and where the magic of yoga could flourish.
Their search led them to a multi-level, building with a beautiful rooftop and large windows that allowed the soft, golden light of the sun to flood in. It was as if the universe itself had conspired to provide the ideal canvas for Yogatopia.
Countless hours were spent renovating and transforming the space into a haven of tranquillity. Wooden floors were laid with care, calming colours adorned the walls, and beautiful pictures, statues and paintings found their way into every nook and corner. It wasn't just a studio; it was an oasis.
Now we just needed a name. At the time I was still teaching primary school students and one day I asked them all, what would be a good name for a new yoga studio. We had a lot of suggestions but were no closer to a name until one of the students reached out and touched me and said “Miss Price YOGATOPIA” to which I immediately responded, “That’s It”.
As the doors of Yogatopia opened for the very first time, a sense of anticipation filled the air. The first classes were small, but the energy was palpable. Word spread quickly about this hidden gem, and soon, a community began to take shape. Students of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities found their way to Yogatopia, seeking refuge from their daily lives.
Instructors with diverse expertise joined the team, each bringing their unique style and wisdom to the studio. From Hatha to Vinyasa, Yin to Kundalini, the offerings at Yogatopia catered to the varied needs and preferences of their growing community.
Yogatopia wasn't just a place to practice yoga; it was a place to connect, grow, and transform. Whether in classes or private therapy sessions with counselling/coaching, learning to understand the self with colour theory, or optimally breathing, It became a space where individuals discovered the profound connection between their physical bodies and inner selves.
Today, Yogatopia stands as a testament to a dream realized. It is a sanctuary where serenity and wellness converge. The website, www.yogatopia.com.au, is the portal to this haven, inviting all who seek balance, harmony, and a path to holistic well-being.
Cheree's dream, born in the heart of the city, has blossomed into a haven of wellness and a thriving community. Yogatopia Yoga Studio is more than just a space; it's a living testament to the power of dreams, determination, and the enduring pursuit of inner peace.

Ruth: A Beacon of Light in Yogatopia In the heart of Drummoyne, Ruth found solace and renewal in the embrace of yoga, guided by the nurturing spirit of Cheree, 17 years ago. The journey began amidst the shadows of grief after losing her beloved husband, Reg. It was a leaflet in the letterbox that whispered a promise: "Do you want to sleep, feel, and look better? Try Yoga." For Ruth, who found solace in the healing power of exercise, this seemed like a beckoning call. Three classes a week became not just a routine but a lifeline. In the studio, she not only discovered the rejuvenating rhythm of yoga but also a community that welcomed her with open hearts. Amidst the asanas and breath, a deep friendship blossomed between Ruth and Cheree, intertwining their lives in the tapestry of yoga. Beyond the mat, Ruth is the Director of her own company, a testament to her strength and leadership. Yet, it's her generosity and caring spirit that set her apart. Silently, in the background, she has been the pillar supporting countless journeys and dreams. Yogatopia, the haven that became a guiding light for many, owes its warmth and inclusivity to Ruth's unwavering support. Her journey is not just a personal one; it's a tale of resilience, friendship, and the quiet strength that comes from giving back. Without Ruth, Yogatopia wouldn't be the beacon it is today, shining brightly and touching the lives of many. In her, we find not just a yogi but a guardian of dreams, a silent force of compassion, and a grateful soul lighting up the path for others.
