The Yoga Studio is a yoga-focused gym at 6/149 Karori Rd in the Wellington suburb of Karori, with a 5.0 Google rating.
In yoga, the teacher shapes a class more than the timetable does: a good studio asks about injuries before you start and offers easier and harder versions of each pose, so beginners and regulars can share the same room. Newcomers usually get more from a gentle or fundamentals class than from the fastest flow on the schedule, and most studios lend mats and blocks, so there is no need to buy kit before you are hooked. Regulars will tell you the first months are about turning up, not touching your toes.
Close to home on Karori Rd, a five-star-rated mat is an easy walk for locals.
