Albany Yoga Room is a yoga studio in Unit G03 at Coast Academy Albany, 7 Rose Garden Lane, Albany, Auckland. The website says it is not a one-size-fits-all school, with a strong emphasis on careful alignment. It also runs day retreats, such as a Mahurangi Sensory Day Retreat, and offers one-to-one sessions with a teacher in Sandspit. Classes welcome beginners. Most classes do not need booking, though the Over-50s and Mums & Babies classes do. Students are asked to wear clothing that stretches, and to tell the teacher about any injuries before class.
Customers describe a variety of teachers and classes, and say the teachers explain postures clearly. One student has practised here for around six years. Another calls a Thursday class a calming way to balance a busy week, and describes the classes as challenging and friendly. Props and soothing music are mentioned. Students describe the studio as a welcoming, supportive and encouraging place. Our pick in Albany for a first yoga class with patient teachers.
