A small-group yoga studio in Mount Maunganui teaching YogAlign, a method the website describes as yoga for alignment using painless, safe body positions. YogAlign is at 19B Golf Road. The method was created by Michaelle Edwards, and the website says its classes combine breathing techniques that work the core, self-massage, fascial work, balance and strength, neuromuscular re-patterning, and meditation in movement. The website says classes are small group, and the studio's yoga is for people of all levels.
Reviewers describe a teacher who gives gentle, professional support, and a safe, small-group setting. One reviewer, who is 50, has practised for about four years, and says the early classes were challenging but became comfortable with the teacher's support. Another has attended every week for about five years since being introduced by a friend. Reviewers say the teacher really cares about people and their wellbeing. BodyFusion Studio, 0.6 km away, rates the same, on three reviews.
