About Being NZ

Being NZ is a yoga and life coaching business based on Taylor Road in Māngere Bridge, Auckland. It runs weekly community yoga classes in Māngere Bridge and takes classes around Tāmaki Makaurau. Its outdoor classes and Yoga in the Park events are a feature, and it also runs private yoga sessions and events for businesses and community groups. Quarterly wellbeing events are held as well. Life coaching draws on positive psychology, and the business says it is built around helping people clear their heads and find a direction. Sophie Kaufusi is the lead teacher and life coach, and the website says her training includes more than 400 hours of yoga study and a holistic life coaching diploma.

Customers describe classes that leave them feeling they have had a good workout without being pushed too hard, and that they finish feeling blissed out. Several praise the teacher as professional and inclusive, and say the classes suit all levels. One regular attends a Monday evening class at 7 pm and calls it the highlight of the week. Another says a Yoga in the Park event for their group was a success. Classes and coaching can be booked online.
