Samkhya Yoga is a yoga studio on Formby Avenue in Point Chevalier, Auckland, rated 4.7 from twelve Google reviews.

A good yoga studio is judged less by its timetable than by how closely teachers watch and adjust individual students, especially newcomers still learning the shapes. Regulars tend to start with a beginner or gentle class before moving into stronger flows, and know that the first few sessions feel awkward for everyone. It is worth asking which style a class follows, since hatha, vinyasa and yin each work the body differently, and a fortnight of steady attendance tells you more than any first visit.
For Point Chevalier locals after exactly that kind of patient, encouraging teaching, Samkhya Yoga sits handy on Formby Avenue.
