The Loft Yoga Lounge is a yoga studio at 103 Beach Road in central Auckland, and it is built around yoga, food and community. Hatha yoga classes run at a mellow pace, and students can go at their own speed. The studio also hosts Sunday events with a talk, live music and a DJ, along with a meal of plant-based food. The website lists a talk by a monk and speaker, Devamrita Swami, with tickets at $15 general admission, $5 for students and $9 for travellers, as at 2026. Students and travellers can get discounted tickets at reception with valid student ID or an e-visa. The studio also runs volunteering, Sunday festivals and bush walks.
Customers praise the vegetarian and vegan food as delicious and good value, and say the studio is welcoming, relaxing and full of happy people. Several say the Shavasana at the end of the class is the best part of the week. One calls it a best-kept secret in Auckland. Our pick in central Auckland for a relaxed yoga session followed by a shared vegan meal.
