We have exciting news to share! We are working with Auckland Unlimited to deliver a one-of-a-kind weekend of mini yoga retreats in Tāmaki Makaurau. The best part? This event is free to attend. We are also proud to announce that Kayla Gordine will be headlining the event.

Opened by Tim and Katie Christie, Yogallery is more than just your average yoga studio. Contemporary art adorns the walls, displaying a unique collection by Tim, a New Zealand based designer and artist. The yoga studio, Now Yoga, is run by Katie Christie, a qualified yoga and pilates instructor.

Yoga is more than just an exercise. And it's more than just a series of poses. Yoga has been used for centuries as a way to reconnect the mind, body and spirit. The poses practiced in yoga are meant to keep the body as flexible and resilient as possible.

Every yogi that has ever chased self-improvement in their own yoga poses has in some way performed some calisthenics movements. In fact, it might come as a surprise to you that calisthenics and yoga share more similarities than differences! Dinesh, the Lifestyle PT shows us a few simple movements such as pushing, pulling, or squatting that can help improve your yoga practice and can be done anywhere.

You, me and everybody has an innate need to get back to nature. In times gone by human lives were at one with nature. We planted and harvested our food by the seasons. In summer, we moved our body’s and spent hours outdoors. In winter, we rested, contemplated, dreamed and definitely got more sleep. Every aspect of our lives was dependent on nature – food, medicine, healing, ritual, survival.

Whether you’re aware of it or not we all have a deep yearning for nature. Being in nature is to ‘come home’. To be grounded, present, alive, grateful. To be simultaneously enlivened & energised yet calm and peaceful.
