Kiri Yoga is an Ashtanga yoga studio at 113 Gladstone Road in Gisborne Central. Its teacher, Kiri, has taught yoga for more than 20 years and practises Ashtanga, with Mysore-style and led classes. The studio also runs retreats and workshops around New Zealand. Lessons are held in person in Gisborne, and the website says the teacher is now studying Yoga Sangraha with Eddie Stern. Classes for beginners are offered, and the website also lists Level 2 KPJAYI training. Online sessions are offered through a membership called Kiri Yogi Boost, which gives access to live sessions, recordings and a practice library.
A student on Google says the Sunday stretch class is very like yin yoga but gives more, because the sequences prepare the body for harder poses. Students quoted on the website describe the teacher as down to earth, funny and patient, and praise the careful physical adjustments and the safe, relaxed class room. One student who had been nervous about Mysore found the Zoom classes helpful. Within 1 km there is one other yoga studio, Reset, about 0.3 km away, which has a 5.0 rating from five reviews.
