Tailored yoga therapy focused on nervous system regulation, stress relief, and gentle movement takes centre stage at this practice, which blends traditional yoga methods with evidence-informed somatic care. Offerings range from one-to-one personalised yoga therapy sessions and weekly beginner-friendly classes to eight-week group therapy programmes, wellbeing workshops, workplace burnout prevention sessions, and immersive sound journeys using crystal bowls and gongs. Unlike a standard fitness-oriented studio, the focus here is therapeutic and restorative, supporting individuals navigating chronic stress or anxiety through adaptable breathwork and gentle posture work.
Those who attend praise Chelsi-Lee’s calm, gentle guidance and describe the studio as an exceptionally safe, welcoming environment, particularly valuing how sessions are adapted for people feeling nervous or unfamiliar with somatic practices. Located on Level One of the Koru Centre on Trafalgar Street, it is one of three yoga studios within a kilometre, sharing top ratings with its nearest neighbour. Our pick in central Nelson for nervous system recovery and grounding somatic therapy.
