Find Your Flow: Free Community Yoga Comes to Double Bay

Sydneysiders can soon trade the boardroom for a yoga mat at the Double Bay Sailing Club, which is hosting a free waterfront yoga series set to live acoustic music.



This new series, supported by Woollahra Council and run by the Sydney Harbour Yoga Club, invites locals to unroll their mats by the water. The free classes will run weekly from November 2025 to February 2026. Along with Double Bay, the initiative will also use waterfront spaces at Rose Bay Marina and the Vaucluse Yacht Club.

The “Harbour Flow” program encourages residents to swap their busy schedules for a moment of calm, turning these picturesque decks into community spaces for health. The goal is to make wellness accessible to everyone, from busy professionals to seniors, referred to as “golden warriors,” and mums after the school drop-off.

Participants can expect a unique experience that blends movement with the magic of the sea. Sessions are planned for sunrise and sunset, with special flows under the full moon. Many classes will feature live acoustic music or sound bowls to create a relaxing atmosphere, all set against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour.

More Than Just a Class

Each event includes a one-hour yoga class suitable for all levels, from total beginners to seasoned yogis. Following the session, attendees are invited to a casual coffee or tea social hosted by local cafés. This initiative is also designed to support the small businesses that give Woollahra its community spirit.

Karin Finlayson, founder of the Sydney Harbour Yoga Club, said the series is about bringing people together and helping them experience the harbour in a completely new way. She emphasised that the classes are for everyone, noting that attendees only need to be curious, not flexible, to join in.

While the “Harbour Flow” sessions are free, spaces are limited, and both registration and booking are essential. Organisers have noted that as part of this specific community program, each person may attend one free class. Spots are expected to fill quickly.

The Sydney Harbour Yoga Club’s regular paid classes at all three locations will continue as normal throughout the summer. To register for the free series and receive the timetable, locals can visit the club’s website.

New Residential Record Set in Vaucluse

A new residential record has been achieved in Vaucluse with the $11 million sale of a semi-detached home at 146a Old South Head Road.

While an $11 million price tag is typical for Vaucluse, it surpasses the previous record for a semi in the harbourside enclave, set last year when 4a Greycliffe Avenue sold for around $10 million.

The Old South Head Road semi occupies half of a 684-square-meter block, featuring a large terrace with views of the city skyline and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Malouf also handled another headline sale recently — 5a Vaucluse Road fetched $17.3 million at auction, defying the current cooling conditions in Sydney’s high-end market. The renovated 1960s home attracted six registered bidders, with the opening bid coming in at $14.5 million before the hammer fell over $2 million above the $15 million price guide.

According to CoreLogic research director Tim Lawless, properties in the top 25% have shown the slowest growth over the past year as borrowing capacity and affordability impacted demand.

The Vaucluse Road property, previously featured as a “House of the Week,” is in original mid-century condition with multiple living areas, three bedrooms, a pool, sundeck, and courtyard.

Vendors Nagi and Kate Mikhail, who ran the World News newsagency in Darling Harbour, purchased it for $3.6 million in 2013 along with DA-approved plans by local architect Phillip Mathieson to modernise and enhance harbour views.



If executed, the unique DA would create a 502-square-meter grand family home — a rarity, according to Malouf, as it would typically require a 1,000-square-meter block under current guidelines. The four-bedroom design includes an infinity pool, wine cellar, elevator, and security system with sweeping views of Sydney’s iconic landmarks.
