FloweSpace brings a small but well-rounded yoga programme to Oamaru, run by instructor Ally out of a studio on Arun Street. With classes spanning Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga and Prenatal Yoga, the studio caters to a genuinely wide range of practitioners — from complete beginners to those deepening an established practice.
FloweSpace's Slow Flow class is built for students who want to slow down and connect with body and breath, with a focus on restoring both body and mind rather than pure physical exertion — it makes room for introspection and self-discovery, and is suitable for all levels.
The 1 Hour Vinyasa Flow class is a more traditional Vinyasa offering, flowing from pose to pose in time with the breath. It's pitched as a great starting point for those still working on the fluid transitions of sun salutations and the basic alignment of foundational poses, while still working up a bit of a sweat.
For something slower and more introspective, the 1 Hour Yin Yoga class invites students to hold floor-based postures for three to seven minutes at a time, targeting the fascia and deep connective tissue throughout the body. Students are supported with blocks and bolsters as needed, and the class is described as accessible to all, with modifications available to suit individual needs — an invitation to confront discomfort, build resilience, and find calm.
FloweSpace also runs a dedicated Prenatal Yoga class for expecting mothers across all three trimesters. The Vinyasa-style class focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles while safely opening the body, and doubles as a space to connect with other mothers-to-be and build community.
Across reviews, one name comes up consistently: Ally. Clients describe her teaching as warm, inclusive, knowledgeable and thoughtful, with a particular strength in offering modifications so that every class works for whoever is in the room, regardless of experience level. FloweSpace holds a 5.0 rating across 24 reviews, with several clients specifically praising how welcoming and supported they feel in Ally's classes.
FloweSpace keeps its booking process straightforward — payment isn't taken when a class is booked. Instead, payment details are emailed out in the days leading up to the class, payable by bank transfer ahead of time or in cash on arrival.
FloweSpace is located at 11 Arun Street, Oamaru, Otago 9400, and can be contacted by email at [email protected], or found on Instagram and Facebook. Classes can be booked directly through the studio's online booking page.
Whether you're after a gentle restorative Yin session, a more active Vinyasa flow, or a dedicated space to move through pregnancy, FloweSpace offers a genuinely welcoming yoga studio in the heart of Oamaru.
