After a sun and booze-soaked silly season, the cooler months are a great chance to get the body back to baseline. Re-balance in Bondi is a list of unique Bondi experiences that will get you in shape, clear the mind, feed the soul (and the belly) and generally get you feeling good about yourself over the cooler months.
It doesn’t mean less fun, hell no. Bondi is still here – the active lifestyle is still embraced (where my yogis at?), eateries are still world class, waves still break (yeeew), espressos are still poured and the bars still serve cocktails with tiny umbrellas (unwinding is part of detox, right?) – and in winter you’ve only the Bondi residents to share it with.
Re-balance in Bondi with yoga, surfing, good food, local culture and spa treatments during winter… when let’s face it, we need it most.
Power Living Yoga
Yoga is a huge part of the Bondi lifestyle – it’s active, healthy and good for the soul, and yoga studios are a dime a dozen here. The benefit is that we have the luxury of being a little picky when we’re choosing where to flop our mat.
We stretched, contorted and reached Zen state at various studios around town and can confidently say that Power Living is where it’s at. Power Living offers up to eight heated vinyasa yoga or relaxing yin yoga sessions each day, so you can choose a class depending on how your body is feeling and what your schedule is looking like.
Re-balance your mind.
QT Bondi hook up – $30 for a 2-day unlimited yoga pass. Any class, anytime.
Icebergs
Perched in the south corner, gazing out over Bond beach, is Icebergs. A must for visitors and locals alike, eating at Icebergs is a unique Australian dining experience with the single best view in Bondi. With an ever evolving menu focused on regional Italian cuisine, celebrating seasonal flavours and inspired by Maurice Terzini’s Italian heritage, you can’t not feel good when eating here.
Re-balance your feels.

Face Plus Medi Spa
Facials, massages and a “reboot room” – it’s time to scrub off the summer slime. Face Plus Medispa is a cosmetic and facial rejuvenation clinic offering a fusion of old-world healing and new-world technologies, intertwining inner and outer beauty, and we’re lucky enough to have them as our next-door neighbour.
