I Am Yoga is a yoga studio at 5 Dundonald Street in Eden Terrace, on Auckland's city fringe, and it carries a perfect 5.0 Google rating.
Yoga studios vary more than newcomers expect: some teach strong, sweaty vinyasa, others slow yin or restorative work, and many put both on one timetable. First-timers do best to start with a gentle or beginner class and mention any injuries before it begins, since a good teacher will offer modifications throughout. Mats and props are usually available to borrow, though regulars tend to bring their own. What often separates a great studio from an average one is attention — small classes where the teacher actually watches and adjusts — more than any particular style.
For anyone in Eden Terrace or nearby wanting to build a steady practice, a five-star-rated studio on the doorstep is a very good place to start.
