AOU Studio is the Sunshine Coast's fresh new modern yoga house and creative studio, founded by dynamic trio of friends Jemma-Rae Sherwell, Rylee Williams, and Sarah Dalryple.

AOU is all about providing a space for everyday people to connect with themselves and others, and we can safely say they’ve nailed that. It's a special place where you can reset, collaborate, and recharge with an array of yoga classes, meditation classes, sound sessions and more.

Pretty amazing, no?
