Classes

Hot Yoga
Our core class. The room is heat infused to prevent injury, promote detoxification and enhance a deeper release within the body. Fresh air is circulated and humidity is raised to make conditions ideal for a foundational sequence of 25-30 postures that vary slightly each class to strengthen bones and muscles and keep the mind-body connection sharp—a total body workout! Suitable for the beginner, intermediate or advanced practitioner. 60 to 90 minutes as scheduled.

HOT HAPPY HOUR! Heat up your Friday nights with this special 2 for 1, one-hour hot class.
(First Class $6. All others 2 for 1 entry!)
Friday eves 6  - 7 pm! Booking highly recommended

Power Vinyasa (PV)
A vibrant and inspiring practice that leaves you glowing with that “yoga buzz.” Power Vinyasa is a “flow style” class that combines instruction on form, alignment, flow and strength and power and balance. A continuous rhythm of breath awakens and reconnects you to a stronger and stress-free self. The room is moderately heated. All levels welcome. 60 to 75 minutes as scheduled.

PV POWER HOUR! Jazz up your Friday afternoons with this special 2 for 1, one-hour flow class.
(First Class $6. All others 2 for 1 entry!)
Fridays, 4:30  - 5:30 pm!  Booking highly recommended.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga concentrates on floor postures that stretch connective tissue, the ligaments and fascia that bind bone-to-bone at the joints. Connective tissue does not stretch like muscle and takes more time to improve mobility and strength. For this reason the room is moderately warmed and postures are held for longer periods of time. Uplifting music and soft lighting are often incorporated to further calm the mind and release the spiritual potential this practice offers. Perfect for beginners. Also great for top-notch athletes wanting to protect and strengthen their joints. 60 to 90 minutes as scheduled.

Hot Yoga Sampler                                                                     
Curious or little intimidated about hot yoga? These classes are open to anyone wanting to check out the hot yoga scene and experience a taste of the three major modalities we offer: Hot Yoga, Power Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. Every 75-minute class starts with basic breathing techniques, followed by standing postures, a short flow sequence and finally some delicious yin-styled floor stretching poses. You do what you can. You'll learn something new each class developing a strong foundation for any full-on class you choose. All levels welcome. Room is heated. 75 minutes. Pre-registration advised! Wellington: Call 04 801 9642. First time students must arrive 20 early to register and discuss any special needs with the instructor.
