Our 8 week beginner yoga course is one of the best in Auckland and has run for 12 years. This course offers a glimpse into the 8 limbs of yoga as prescribed by the ancient sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra. We will focus on correct alignment in a posture to suit your individual needs, how to breathe correctly and harness the power of your breath, and how to move in and out of a pose safely and effectively. The course progresses into more flowing and challenging sequences like sun salutations, vinyasa style asana (flowing from one sequence to another), and also tackles the stronger warrior series.

Each week, we will recap the previous week's learning, then add to your knowledge, build your skills, strength, flexibility, and balance, while providing you with a personal understanding of yoga as a philosophy, enabling you to walk into any yoga class and confidently and comfortably work with your body safely and productively.

A beginner course is not just beneficial for complete novices, it can also be beneficial for someone wanting to get back into yoga after a prolonged absence or injury, and is also a great course to take if you want to learn to better your technique and alignment, enabling you to understand the mechanics of the pose to help you go deeper into it while protecting your body in the process.

"I did the 8 week beginner course (Monday night with Tash) and liked it here so much I signed myself and my partner up and did it again! Small calm studio space with great instructors who are passionate about the whole yoga philosophy not just the tights and fads. We felt welcomed and supported on our yoga and wellness journey."

"From start to finish I found it awesome.

The level you pitch at is good for a beginner or for those second or third timers.

The instruction is clear, easy to understand and with your subtle adjustments (depending on your body type) all the poses are achievable.

Unbeknown to me Yoga has a lot of breathing and meditation disciplines and I found this part of the course to be very beneficial in just slowing "life" down a bit.

The atmosphere in the class is great and I look forward to the next part of my journey at the Yoga Pantry." Tana T - Auckland
