Gaura Yoga is unique
You will not find a place quite like it anywhere else in this world. Only here can you keep fit with great yoga, learn the ancient secrets of health, happiness and transcendental knowledge, practice a karma-free and stress-free lifestyle, experience blissful country retreats and taste mouthwatering vegan feasts. It’s a great way to break out of the mundane world of mass-consumption.

Gaura Yoga extends outside the borders of its physical perimeter. We serve high-quality vegetarian food at both Massey and Victoria Universities in Wellington, as well as at many festivals and events. Additionally, the Gaura Haven retreat centre (near Otaki) offers guests an opportunity to escape the city, recharge, rejuvenate and rejoice.

Did you know Gaura Yoga is working towards a sustainable future? All the cleaning products used here are eco-friendly, all takeaway containers are made from renewable materials and are fully bio-degradable, the vegetarian food we serve has a much lower carbon footprint than any meat-based meal, and a bio-dynamic garden is being established at our Gaura Haven retreat centre. We are always looking for ways to improve even more (please give us as many suggestions as possible).

The Gaura Yoga centre is run as a nonprofit co-op. All the staff are unpaid volunteers, who willingly sacrifice their time and energy. Each staff member is a practitioner of spiritual techniques for the purification of consciousness. This helps to create an environment unlike any other. Additionally, the high spiritual qualification of the cooks allows them to prepare food radiating with spiritual purity.

Of course, purity of consciousness is not only good for the guests. It results in unconditional happiness for all of our staff members and anyone else that takes up the process. We desire that all people attain a deep level of spiritual satisfaction; something far more satisfying and beneficial than the temporary alleviation of material crises and ailments. Hey, it works for us and we would like to share the benefit with the world.

Link into the spiritual network
You can also become an active part of the spiritual community that is Gaura Yoga. There are two ways you can link into this exciting network of spiritual bliss.

• Become a spiritual activist and volunteer your time
• Become a spiritual supporter and volunteer your resources

Facilities need to be maintained, rent needs to be paid, ingredients for the amazing food need to be bought, equipment needs to be acquired, and staff members need to be trained. All these costs quickly add up. Nevertheless, we want to keep the price of activities at Gaura Yoga within the reach of anyone. To make this possible we rely on contributions from supporters. The role of a spiritual supporter is therefore no less valuable than the spiritual activist role. Both roles are equally necessary and both are equally laudable. Some people naturally fit better into one of the two categories.

If you desire to immerse yourself into the nectarean ocean of direct spiritual activism, then come and talk to one of us and we will try to see where your unique personality best fits in. If your personality or life situation is more suited to contributing indirectly, then we ask that you kindly donate to our joint endeavor and thereby water the root of our flourishing tree.
