Temple of Mastery

Fantastic experience: This place is super special and I am so glad I found it. Unlike many other gyms in the area, it delivers a more holistic kind of growth. Derryn and Ned have strong knowledge of their practices and are great teachers who bring a fun energy to their classes. The blend of strength, yoga and awareness is unique and the studio itself is beautiful. As others have said, there's a great community there too, which makes it nice to come to class. Since starting here a couple of months ago, I've seen many positives. These include having more energy, building muscle, feeling stronger, managing stress from my job better, and being more in tune with my body and internal experiences. Thanks a lot, Temple of Mastery.

Fantastic experience: Temple of Mastery is an incredible space for movement, strength, and deep embodiment. Ned and Derryn bring their unique expertise, creating a balanced mix of yoga, meditation calisthenics, and strength movement practices. Derryn’s yoga classes are deeply embodied —perfect for dropping into the body and unwinding. Ned’s calisthenics classes are powerful and unique, offering a structured yet dynamic approach to building strength and control. As someone who has known Ned for many years, I can confidently say that his dedication and knowledge shine through in every session. If you're looking for a space to grow physically, spiritually and mentally, this is it! Highly recommend. ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Temple of Mastery is life-changing! I joined 18 months ago, originally looking for a yoga studio. I signed up for the two-week trial, not realizing that the Ascension classes were a mix of strength training, weight training, yoga, and interval training. My muscles hurt a lot in those first two weeks! I remember thinking, “I’ll just get through this, then I’ll find a real yoga studio.” Little did I know, I’d end up absolutely loving these classes. Now, I rarely miss a session. I feel stronger, calmer, and healthier—I’ve lost weight, built strength, and just feel amazing overall. On top of the Ascension classes, Temple of Mastery also offers separate yoga, calisthenics, and Chi Gong classes, which provide a perfect balance to the strength and conditioning work. The community that Derryn and Ned have built is incredible, and I’ve made some great friends along the way. I can’t imagine my life without Temple of Mastery. Who would have thought?! If you’re on the fence, give it a try—you might just surprise yourself like I did!

Fantastic experience: Temple of Mastery has become my sanctuary over the past year. I wanted a yoga studio with a good community feel and I found SO MUCH MORE! Derryn and Ned are exceptional teachers, truly dedicated to their students and their growth. They’ve blown me away with their generosity, kindness and knowledge. I’ve had access to the deepest teachings that transformed how I view exercise, yoga, and nutrition. I’m in the best shape of my life without the need to force or push anything, I’ve learned that it can be easy and joyful to take care of your body. Thank you Derryn and Ned, I’m forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: It's not just a gym, it's not just a yoga studio It's a beautiful community and it's a lifestyle. I'm so grateful to be part of this family and recommend everyone give it a try

Fantastic experience: Temple of Mastery isn't just another gym or yoga studio—it’s a spiritual lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: This place is the perfect balance of group strength training and meditation. The environment is a friendly community of beautiful like minded humble people , love, support and acceptance all around . Derryn - the yoga instructor is one of a kind ! There is no one quite like him. Ned - is an experienced PT with exceptional skill in calisthenics and strength training. I love being a part of this community !

Fantastic experience: My experience with The Temple of Mastery has been transformative. They run great programs and have a holistic approach that I also cultivate in my life. But the best thing about it, is the sense of community and togetherness that is absent in a lot of gyms out there. Good for all levels when it comes to strength and flexibility. They put together challenges that include good knowledge on nutrition, lifestyle and mindset. I honestly wasn't a group exercise type of a person, I had my individual routine but I really fell for the good vibe and ability to lift each other up physically and mentally. My performance, form, flexibility and mental health improved greatly since starting there. Both Derryn and Ned are super nice and welcoming. Thanks guys ♥️

Fantastic experience: A lot to learn from these two guys about body and mind. Classes are super fun and insightful. Highly highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Thank you Derryn and Ned for establishing this very unique business that has helped me transform both body and mind. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for lasting change that enhances health and quality of life.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for the last 6 weeks, it’s still early days in my fitness journey but Derryn and Ned have been fantastic. They are two amazing people who take a wholistic approach to everything including nutrition, exercise and the mind and have built an awesome kind supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Today was my first yoga class with Derryn. It was really great , Good level and transitions and the atmosphere is beautiful. I will definitely keep going to him classes. Im happy thanks :)

Fantastic experience: Hi, how can I get in touch ?

Fantastic experience: The moment you walk into this studio it all begins, you just feel that complete sense of peace and ease. Derryn is the owner and founder of Yogic State and his classes as well as the other classes which a run by amazing instructors really do uplift your mental, emotional and physical state. Every time I leave this studio I just feel so at peace. Best decision I’ve ever made was entering this place. I don’t think I’ll ever want to leave. Thank you Derryn for all that you do for me and everyone. Always with a humble heart.

Fantastic experience: Derryn you have changed my life - for the better - in a way that I never knew was even possible. I hope you know the power of your teachings. Thank you for all that you do. Forever grateful

Fantastic experience: In this studio you work not only with physical body but with spiritual as well. I love sound healing classes. All teachers are very professional and the community is like a big family. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to win a one-year membership on Instagram for Mother’s Day. Derryn, Antonika, and all the yoga teachers were warm, friendly, and approachable. The studio space in Mortdale is like a warehouse, with earthy interiors, crystals, and essential oil diffusers. It smells beautiful when you walk in. During lockdown 2.0, I missed going to the classes in the studio. The class I enjoyed most was the ‘stress release’. I would highly recommend Yogic State and will hopefully be back soon. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: L.O.V.E.D. my first yoga class here. Derryn is fantastic, and it's a really lovely studio/gym

Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful space, great instructors that really care about you and nutrure you on the journey. Have loved practicing here on the daily, it truly is my little place of bliss and happiness :-)

Fantastic experience: Coming from a martial arts back ground, beginning yoga was something completely new to me. The staff at yogic state helped me feel welcome, catered to what I needed and during covid went above and beyond in making sure myself and other members kept up our practise Since then yogic state have now moved into a larger studio in Mortdale, with a new convenient timetable for the busiest of schedules and I believe have set a standard for what a yoga studio should be

Fantastic experience: Amazing little studio with classes catering all levels. If you are looking for yoga studio or thinking about starting yoga, definitely give Yogic State a go.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying the classes and teachers at Yogic State. Studio is a great intimate size. You don't get 'lost' in the crowd like those large studios. I can really relax in the Wind Down and Yoga Nidra classes. Very convenient to have this studio in my local suburb!

Fantastic experience: Great experience, awesome teachers, new and clean facility. Looking forward to visiting often. I always feel better after yoga and meditation. Highly recommend!!
