An Ashtanga yoga and meditation centre at 389A Maunganui Road in Mount Maunganui, which describes itself as community-centred and traditional in approach. It welcomes absolute beginners as well as experienced practitioners, and says it suits all bodies. One-on-one sessions can help people who want to deepen their practice or have questions. The centre can also arrange accommodation by the ocean with a yoga pass included, on enquiry. Mats and a range of oils can be ordered online, and posted or collected from the centre.
Customers say the centre has built a kind, caring community, and that the teacher is gifted and dedicated. One customer began when the shala first opened, when classes had few students, and says it now has full classes. Another says the communication and service were great when buying mats.
