The Yoga Space Hastings is a yoga studio run as a collective of teachers, at 208 Heretaunga Street East in the middle of Hastings. The site says the studio brings together hatha, yin, meditation, sound and bhakti, and it describes itself as a community it calls a sangha. It offers yoga classes, beginner's yoga, meditation classes and wellness events.
The teachers have different backgrounds. Radha trained in Mexico and teaches meditative hatha, yin and meditation courses, and she also runs silent meditation retreats. Silke is a 200-hour teacher who teaches yin and slow hatha with Tibetan singing bowls, and her style is gentle and mostly hands-off. Erleen is a Yoga NZ registered teacher who works on strength and flexibility, with training in trauma and mental health awareness. Mary, a health practitioner, has trained in Purna Yoga. The site also introduces Sarah Little, who has lived in Hawke's Bay for six years.
