Golden Yogi

Got to experience this wonderful yoga studio with their great newbie special which meant unlimited access for a week. Definitely worth checking out if you want to try the different styles (Kundalini, Yin Yoga, Restorative, Vinyasa Levels 1−2−3) they have on offer– and they have 2 studios as well, both based around Takapuna. This is their most recently opened studio.
They are upstairs from the Starbucks, down the alleyway and through the glass doors to your left. With beautiful calming white walls, cushioned wooden benches and a lovely black-​white poster at reception. A sliding door hides the tea and fridge with cold drinks. Behind the desk are clean protein powders, yoga mats and other things on sale. You can hang up your jackets and layers on their chrome hooks above the bench and they also have sliding out drawers with keys if you need to lock up valuables.
The glazed glass sliding door leads you into the most zen studio I’ve ever experienced. Venetian blinds around the top of the two walls and clean wooden floors. There is the front instructor mat with two candles burning and a soundtrack in the background. The have a lovely light wood, floor to ceiling shelving system that holds their gorgeous grey bolsters, thick woollen grey blankets and cosy black flannel blankets, blocks and ties. Gets warm in the evenings with their heater– so no excuse not to show up. After class they have two bathrooms with showers if you need to freshen up.
Love the range of classes, with great instructors and in love with this studio. Highly recommend that newbie week pass and this yoga studio.
