Welcome to Svastha Yoga New Zealand
personalised yoga – yoga therapy – yoga education
Small, friendly yoga classes and yoga therapy in Grey Lynn
The word “Svastha” in Sanskrit means to be in a state of optimal health and balance in body and mind. This is the underlying principle in all Svastha Yoga classes – to help you feel as good as you can.
Svastha Yoga is an integrated and personalised approach to yoga that addresses all aspects of health and well-being. The essence of the practice is the combination of functional movement, breath and mindfulness, which lays the foundation from which a positive mind-body connection emerges. As a result, we are able to live more fully in the present moment, in harmony with ourselves, with others and with our environment. Quite simply, this is a practice that will make you feel better, more at ease in your body and mind!
