Our aim at Yoga Gym is to offer a safe and sacred environment for people from all walks of life and abilities.
We practice traditional Hatha Yoga, a gentle yet powerful form of yoga that focuses on the physical culture, emphasizing the body, mind, and breath connection. Hatha Yoga is the perfect style for both beginners and seasoned yogis looking to practice yoga that is both restorative and strengthening.
At Yoga Gym, our yoga classes are small and affordable. Our studio is located in the peaceful village of Cockle Bay, Howick. The area is perfect for yoga, as we are by the sea, with the beach just a stone's throw away from our studio.
3 Top Reasons for Practicing Yoga
Yoga Improves Wellbeing
The benefits of yoga are vast and well-documented. Regular yoga practice can improve your flexibility, enhance your body’s strength, and support mental clarity. Many people attend yoga classes at Auckland Yoga Academy and other yoga studios to experience these wellness benefits. At Yoga Gym, we create a similar experience, with small, personalised classes that focus on individual growth.
Yoga Reduces Stress
In today’s fast-paced world, yoga is an increasingly popular way to manage stress. Our yoga teacher uses slow movements and breathwork to help students release tension and find inner peace. Unlike more intense styles like hot yoga, Hatha Yoga offers a gentle approach that’s ideal for reducing stress while still challenging the body. By practising with us, you’ll learn techniques to carry calmness and resilience into your daily life.
Yoga Assists with Weight Loss
Yoga can be a powerful tool for those interested in weight management. Studies show that yoga not only helps burn calories but also curbs emotional eating by promoting mindfulness. At Yoga Gym, our community provides a supportive environment similar to yoga studios in most Auckland Yoga Academy start, where you can feel encouraged to pursue your goals. With regular yoga practice, you can build muscle tone, increase your metabolism, and enhance your overall wellbeing.
