Yoga Roots NZ is a small home studio in Orewa on the Hibiscus Coast, run by Marjolein. The website describes it as a cosy, intimate space, not fancy but full of feeling. Classes include restorative, yin and meditation, and the teacher holds certifications in hatha, pre- and postnatal, restorative, yin, yoga nidra and meditation, as well as transformational yoga. Mums and bubs yoga and prenatal yoga are listed, and there are Sunday private classes. Marjolein is also the New Zealand stockist of the original Koshi Chimes, handcrafted in France, and sells Sanctum Ceremonial Cacao, made in New Zealand from Solomon Islands cacao. Both are sold online and can be collected in person.
Reviewers say a Koshi chime ordered online arrived within a few days, was packed with care, and came with an easy order confirmation. Classes are described as kind, inclusive and educational, and reviewers praise the teacher's knowledge and passion. Some say they leave feeling more relaxed and grounded than when they arrived. Of the two nearby yoga studios with ten or more reviews, neither rates higher than this one. Sun Moon Yoga Studio, 0.5 km away, is the other.
