Love & Core is a sunny studio on the edge of Martinborough, at 399 Lake Ferry Road in South Wairarapa. It offers pilates, yoga, massage, retreats and reflexology in one place. The classes run from very challenging to gentle and supportive, and the studio aims to help people move with confidence and recover from pain and injury.
The studio's massage treatment uses warmed lava stones with beeswax balm, with a focus on relaxation and stress management. The stones are used to ease tension, apply acupressure and promote circulation, and the balm hydrates the skin. A gentle reflexology session is also offered. Its treatment room is where the massage work takes place, and its instructors are described as inclusive and friendly.
