We are an ashtanga yoga and yoga therapy studio offering small group classes, private sessions, retreats, immersions and yoga teacher certification.
Where we take our yoga seriously, but never ourselves. Located in the heart of Townsville, we have 4 terms per year based on the elements of Earth, Fire, Water and Air and have a variety of classes 7 days a week.
Live and Breathe Yoga was founded in 2010 by Allison Dearling, a former accountant whose life was profoundly changed by yoga in her 20s. Following devastating injuries, Allison embarked on a journey of rehabilitation through yoga, a path that eventually led her to travel to India to deepen her practice in Ashtanga yoga.
Yoga is not a one size fits all practice. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, a retiree seeking to stay active, a busy mum in need of ‘me’ time, or a stressed executive looking for balance, we cater to all stories. We have a broad range of yoga styles on offer, beginners courses, meditation, ashtanga yoga, restorative yoga and more. Join us on retreat, or take your practise (far) deeper with private yoga therapy, our yoga immersion program, or yoga teacher certification.
With world-class teachers, an inviting atmosphere, high ceilings and fantastic wooden floors, we are more than a studio, we’re a community. From in-studio and online memberships to personalised one-to-one yoga therapy and training, we invite you to experience the warmth, support, and connection that make our community special.

“I loved the element based terms. I loved the holistic approach, not only did I see an invigorating change in my physical practice, I also loved exploring internal and spiritual elements of my practice and incorporating them into my daily life.” – Karren H

“I have a softer, more intelligent way of thinking of myself, my loved ones and the world. I have new tools to help myself. I came to this course for a combination of challenging myself, for strength and resilience, and a yearning for clarity. Now that the year is over, it feels like a new beginning, with hope for what my future holds.” – Allison L
“Allison shares her passion and knowledge in a way that is accessible to all and her team of instructors are all amazing at what they do, fostering a supportive and encouraging environment. The course is structured in a way that makes the time and financial commitment manageable, with payments able to be made in installments and blocks of study delivered in monthly intervals. Do yourself a favour and immerse yourself in what this course has to offer!” – Amy B
“This was one of the most wholesome and nourishing retreats I have ever been on! There was something special about practicing pranayama and guided Ashtanga yoga with the same wonderful people every morning. I have now deepened my love for Ashtanga yoga and the community of people at Live and Breathe. I will definitely sign up again for a yoga retreat with L&B in the future, and highly recommend it to anyone considering!” – Lucy M
