New Year, New Beginnings Hari Aum,

We hope that everyone has enjoyed a relaxing holiday season and some time in the sun now that the New Zealand summer has begun. New Year is often a time of new beginnings, we've welcomed 2017 with the re-launch of our Parnell studio and laid the foundations for many exciting things to come as we journey through the year. What new beginnings or intentions have you set out for yourself? What seeds of intention have you planted?

On February 1 we re-opened out doors of our new collaborative space that we share with fellow yogi's at Yogatech. We are super excited to plant our hands and feet back on the mat and it's been wonderful to see so many familiar and new faces. If you haven't been to visit our new studio join us this weekend 11-12 February for EXPLORE Yoga, a medley of classes from both studios. Or pop in for one of our regular weekly classes.

Coming Up in February & MarchWe've a whole host of exciting workshops and masterclasses happening in Auckland and some re-invigorating retreats taking place in Ohui. Scroll down to see what we've got in store. Level 1 Teacher Training Intensive has also kicked off in Ohui this month, with our Part-Time Teacher Trainings soon to follow. Want to know more about becoming a teacher or taking a teacher training to deepen your practice? Come to our TTC Intro where we'll give you a taster and answer all your burning questions.
