The Yoga Room is a yoga studio in Gisborne. It is at 8a Douglas Street in Gisborne Central, but the website says the studio is in the Gladstone Road building it has occupied since the early 1990s. The studio has its roots in the Ashtanga tradition, through Peter Sanson, and the website says his annual Christmas Ashtanga workshops draw people from around New Zealand and overseas. Its teachers have a range of backgrounds. The website names Gill, who has practised since 1983 and teaches Hatha yoga, Alecia, who teaches classes that mix pranayama, asana and meditation, and Takuya, whose classes are slow and breath-led. To talk to a teacher or book a class, the website asks people to get in touch.
One customer walked in without a booking or membership, and found the class a supportive start to the weekend, with Gill teaching Hatha yoga clearly.
