Our Story

Grass Roots has been a part of the St Kilda community for over 10 years.

Since 2022, Shelley Armstrong and Sally Murchie have taken the reigns to steer Grass Roots into its next chapter. Our team embody a wealth of knowledge and experience and share our values of community, connection and inclusivity.

Community

Community is the soul of Grass Roots. It’s the thread that brings us together. You will feel it the minute you walk through the door. The laughter, warmth and care permeates throughout the entire studio and into each practice. Grass Roots is also committed to supporting the local community of St Kilda and surrounds, through donations and fundraising to support those in need.

Connection

At the heart of Grass Roots is the underlying theme of connection. Be that to lineage, Country and each offer. The team acknowledge the ancient lineage of these practices from India and South Asia. The studio also pays respect to the traditional custodians of Country.

Inclusivity

Grass Roots prides itself on an inclusive environment, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to those who have been practicing for years. “The feeling as you walk into the door is that of a warm hug” - first time visitor.
