Every session is followed by a full-flavoured delicious vegetarian meal. All of our teachers at Gaura Yoga are thoroughly trained and dedicated to making your yoga experience safe, progressive, and enjoyable.

Tuesday: Super Challenge
Charge the body and shake off the mind’s demands with this action packed astanga class. 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: 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 astanga 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!

Wednesday: Beginners Hatha
You will experience a deep sensation of tension release through the synchronisation of  breath and movement in the flow of postures. Wednesday offers a balanced workout with an essential element of relaxation, you’ll leave feeling fitter, healthier and stress-free.

Teacher: Campak Gaur
Campak Gaur’s flowing and grounding style of yoga has been evident through her  five years of teaching in both Australia and New Zealand. She completed her training with Atma Yoga in Auckland and is currently teaching at Gaura Yoga, Victoria University, Exodus as well as various corporate yoga ventures around the city. Campak teaches with the goal of her students coming out more relaxed in body, peaceful in mind and uplifted in spirit. She loves teaching and sharing the benefits of yoga with others.

Thursday: Vinyasa flow yoga + live music + kirtan

Expect a workout and some freedom for your mind in this fully charged yoga sequence!

We will be flowing through a variety of postures with surya namaskar (sun salutations) as the basis. Rhythmic music of mrdanga (traditional indian drum), guitar & violin will be played live and in tune with the pace of the postures. Enhance your yoga practise by allowing the music to aid release and reach heights you have yet to experience!

After 45min of intensive yoga, we’ll sink into deep relaxation and cap it all off with some kirtan, the most secret jewel of yoga practise. Kirtan is easy. It’s a mix of music and meditation to cultivate inner strength and clarity of mind. There’s basic Sanskrit mantra, the leader calls and the rest can respond. Sometimes it’s soft and meditative and sometimes it can get a little wild, all to make you feel good!

Teacher: Gaura-Arati
