Root&Rise Pilates and Yoga is a small yoga and Pilates studio on Stark Drive in Wigram, Christchurch. Its classes are open to all levels, and the teacher, Lilla, is the studio's main name on the site. The studio also runs yoga and meditation retreats, and the testimonials on the page include one from a retreat held in Tenerife. Classes are described as well-structured and thoughtful, with the teacher taking time to correct and support each student.
Past students write warmly about Lilla's classes. They describe them as calm and grounding, with a steady rhythm and gentle adjustments when a posture needs them. One student says she makes everyone feel seen, and another says the morning classes on a retreat were a highlight. Several people say they felt welcome from the first visit. For a Wigram or Christchurch yoga student who wants a calm, supportive class in a small studio, with the option of a retreat, Root&Rise is the place to start.
