Frequently asked questions (FAQ):

Why book online?
EFTPOS is not available at Gaura Yoga. However, you can pay by credit card using the online booking system (bookings must be made before 4:30pm on the day of the class).

Also, our yoga classes can be very popular and we do not always have space for everyone that comes. If you book online you are guaranteed a place, even if you arrive at the last minute (however, if you come more than 5 minutes late your place may be given to another guest). Using the online booking system also means you do not need to bring any cash with you. In fact, you don't need to bring anything at all. When you arrive, just tell your name to the staff member at the door and you are free to enjoy your yoga class.

How far in advance can I book a class?
Bookings can be made up to three months in advance.

What if I don't have a credit card?
If you would like to use the online booking system but don't have a credit card, we are happy to sell you a voucher code. You can buy vouchers at Gaura Yoga (payment in cash). A code allows you to book the class of your choice using the online booking system, but without needing to pay via credit card.

Can I buy a 10 trip voucher card
Yes, you can buy a discounted 10 trip voucher at Gaura Yoga. This voucher gives you 10 codes each of which you can use to book one yoga class using the online booking system. Please note that vouchers can only be redeemed online. If you wish to use a card in person when arriving at Gaura Yoga, please buy a physical 10 trip card instead of the 10 trip voucher (both types of cards are the same price).

Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. When you cancel we give you a voucher to re-book on a different date. To cancel a booking, please simply enter your booking ID number in the following box:

(Cancellations must be submitted before 4:30pm on the date of the booking. Any later and your cancellation unfortunately cannot be processed and no refund will be given.)

Can I book for a class for someone else?
Yes you can. The person who's name is on the booking does not have to be the same as the person who makes the payment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Do I need to enrol in a course or can I just turn up to any class, any time?
Just come whenever you like. Our classes are ongoing – we don’t run scheduled courses.

Is there anything I should tell my yoga teacher?
Be sure to tell your teacher if you have any injuries or are pregnant.

What to wear?
Light exercise clothing is fine. It should be breathable and allow freedom of movement.

What to bring?
All yoga equipment is provided. You may bring your own mat if you prefer. As far as possible come with an empty stomach (don’t eat for at least 2 hours before) – it’s better for your yoga and saves you space for the delicious good food dinner and dessert afterwards.

Monday: Beginners Hatha
The Monday session is a great beginning for your yoga journey; Gaura-arati’s smooth and spontaneous teaching style will welcome you if you are new to yoga, and solidify your ongoing practice for those more experienced. The hatha-yoga style is foundational for all yoga styles – you’ll learn the basics of breathing, the different postures (asanas) and the dynamic connection between the two. Join in with the joyful and fun mood of the Monday yoga class!

Teacher profile: Gaura-arati
You’ll know Gaura-arati by her vibrant spirit and contagious laughter. Her classes are really fun. Gaura-arati has been practicing yoga throughout New Zealand since the age of 14. She’s a full time volunteer at Gaura Yoga trained in hatha yoga (beginner’s style yoga). She also enjoys the ancient yoga practice of kirtan (meditation on mantras in the ancient Sanskrit language) which she weaves through her classes leaving you feeling totally revived, tingling from head to toe and eager for more.

Tuesday: Super Challenge

Super challenge Tuesday with Shyam-gauri is the hot appointment in every hardcore yogi’s diary.

Suitable for those with some preliminary yoga experience and those who want a big challenge!

Teacher profile: Shyam-gauri
Shyam-gauri takes inspiration for her classes from the art of theatre movement and ashtanga-vinyasa yoga (a free-flowing adventure into strength, sweat, flexibility and edge exploration). She’s funny too and loves hanging out with all our beloved yogi guests at dinner after the action. Shyam was born in the exotic tribal village of the Zulu people in South Africa. She has been whipping us into shape for about four years at Gaura Yoga. She also teaches at various workplaces around the city with “Yoga @ Work” (please ask her for more details, if you would like to arrange for yoga classes at your workplace).

Wednesday: Beginners Hatha
Radha Prasad’s Wednesday class is open to beginners and the more experienced: all will experience a deep stretch and tension release through synchronising breath and movement in the flow of postures. A balanced workout with an essential element of relaxation, you’ll leave feeling fitter, healthier and stress-free.

Teacher profile: Radha Prasad
Radha Prasad’s yoga classes are skillfully presented. Her thorough and soothing instructions create the perfect yoga experience to develop your personal practice. Radha (as she is known to her students) will teach you the essential steps of each pose, assisting you on your journey into the art of yoga. She is an optical technician by trade, who seriously loves yoga and has a solid personal practice.

Thursday: Challenge
Charge the body and chill the mind with Thursday’s new action packed ashtanga class. Let Gopesvari, Gaura Yoga’s most recent addition, boldy lead you through this ancient practice. Shake off the mind’s demands for 75 mins and allow yourself to be drawn to depths you didn’t know you had the ability to reach. Suitable for first timers to old timers, you’ll feel the benefits after just one session and learn tips you can take from the mat into everyday life.

Teacher profile: Gopesvari

Gopesh-vari joins us from Gaura Yoga’s sister center in Auckland, The Loft. She draws on many years of teaching experience following the completion of her apprenticeship at Auckland’s Yoga Acadamy. Specialising in the ashtanga asana, Gopesvari was also invited to complete a traineeship in restorative yoga, as well being offered a position teaching at the Acadamy. She willingly shares her knowledge with anybody interested in this dynamic and powerful yoga practice.
