BodyMindLife Opens Sydney BodyMindLife opened its first studio and wellness centre, Pilates and Yoga studio in Byron Bay in early March. For 2020, BodyMindLife has also pledged to become carbon positive by launching a number of initiatives to give back. They aim to reduce their annual emissions by optimising energy usage, using solar power, grey-water, energy efficient LED lighting, low water flush toilets and showers, and rainwater harvesting systems, as wellYas re-use of many building materials as much as possible. Founded by Philip Goodwin in 2003 the initial studio was created after his ten plus years trading in financial markets where he understood first-hand the transformative effects Yoga and mindfulness can have when existing in a high-stress environment. Philip spent more than seventeen years developing the concept; with five luxe purposebuilt studio spaces across Sydney including Bondi, Surry Hills, Potts Point, Redfern and now Kirrawee.
