BeCalmed Yoga Studio is a small, gentle yoga and meditation studio at 11 View Road in Tītahi Bay, Porirua, set in the bush. Its practices include restorative yoga, yoga nidra, yin yoga, breath work and mindfulness, and the studio says it suits all bodies and experience levels, with no yoga experience needed. Janie Walker runs the classes, a five-week BeCalm Yourself course, and forest day retreats. Yoga nidra has also been taught online. The studio can design a workplace relaxation space it calls a Calm Hub for employers.
We hear the studio is closed from 25 October 2026 to 1 April 2027 while Janie is on retreat in India. The newsletter is where people can find out which classes start next year. Past students say the practice left them relaxed and sleeping better, that the forest retreat was a lovely day, and that the five-week course gave them breath work and restorative poses they now use daily.
