Yoga By The Sea is a yoga studio on King Edward Parade in Devonport, Auckland, run by its owner, Frances. Classes are held in the Scouts Hall, which one reviewer describes as sitting right over the water, with a no-frills room. The website describes a dynamic style that links postures with the breath, with breathing techniques, inverted poses and a fitness routine for strength and flexibility. Frances's teaching combines Satyananda, Vinyasa flow and Pilates-based core work. Newcomers are welcome, and the website invites people to sign up for news about new classes and timetables.
Reviewers describe Frances as patient, knowledgeable and passionate, and say her classes are very welcoming. One calls the practice among the most authentic and effective yoga in Auckland. Another says it is a local favourite, and that practising straight over the ocean is an incredible experience.
