Wow! What an exciting start to the year it has been.

 

A huge welcome to all the new faces that have joined the Golden Yogi family. We hope you are all enjoying your yoga & meditation, and making some new friends in the process.

 

Our hearts are filled with gratitude, towards everyone that shared our latest Envision Your Dreams
workshop. To enjoy the dreamy White Cacao Seed Cookie recipe that we envisioned, and shared, please scroll on down. 

We are also super grateful for the amazing team at Wanderlust Festival Downunder - who brought together yogi's young and old, new and experienced, bendy and non-bendy - for 4 epic days of yoga, meditation, music, dancing, hooping, playing, hiking, swimming and more in beautiful Taupo.  
Never before have we shared so many smiles, hugs, conversation and good food with like-minded friends. We were lucky enough to spend most of the festival with the talented team from Halo Smith. And to observe what could be a Butterfly Effect of mindful living - which you can read about over on our BLISSblog.

The lucky winner of our Halo Smith & Golden Yogi BLISSbox giveaway is Anne Collis. Anne, please contact Golden Yogi studio to arrange collecting your beautiful prize. Thank you to everyone that visited our tent, and shared a giggle on the typewriter and playing in the store.

Coming up ... in February we have a Mindfulness course, Meditation course, a weekend Beginners Basics workshop, Kids Yoga, our 7-day Cleanse Body, Cleanse Mind detox event, and a Motivate & Move wellness retreat. Our 6 week Beginner Course is now sold out - please talk to Erin if you are curious to know more about the next one, which will start just after Easter.

 

In March we are super excited to be hosting Adele Kinghan's intermediate level 'Embodied Flow - Anatomy of Asana' Immersion. As well as complimentary open nights, where you can learn more about our 200hr part time Teacher Training course, starting in May, with the talented Jennifer Allen from Jayayoga. Please read on down for details.

 

And to add to the summer fun we are also sharing complimentary yoga classes at Smales Farm, on Tuesdays, for the month of February - so check out our community fun page - and invite your friends to head along for a complimentary class with the Golden Yogi's. 

 

Wishing you summer days filled with smiles. Sat Nam x ~

KUNDALINI MEDITATION

Perfect for everyday busy people, these courses are designed to de-clutter your mind and share mindful tools.

We look forward to sharing these life changing practices with you.

Kid's Yoga is FUN! Classes use stories and music to accompany our fun and educational "journeys" to exotic lands. The children use their imaginations and Animal Yoga postures to learn new vocabulary, develop motor and movement skills, and to understand balance and relaxation through meditation and breath. Partner poses and group meditations give children the experience of teamwork and trust with others.

  
7 WEEK TERM. BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL.

YOGA BASICS - Intro to Yoga
Feb 15th, with Jennifer Allen

 

You have no idea how many people comment to us that they 'don't want to come to yoga until they are good at it'. Or that they 'want to start off properly'. 

 

Let's be honest - every single one of us has experienced those first few classes where the teacher asks you to move into a downward dog - and you're wondering what, how, why?!?!

 

If this sounds familiar then this course is for you - it will cover all the basics you will need to know: posture, when to breathe, history and more - so you can come to class feeling confident you will know how to move. 

 

After that it's all just commitment, time and patience that allows our bodies to become supple, strong, release tension and blocks, stretch and grow.

 

Taught by senior teacher, Jennifer Allen, you can rest assured that you will learn everything you need to know to gain confidence on and off your mat.










If you are serious about becoming a yoga teacher, or just looking to deepen your knowledge and expand your personal practice - in a safe and nourishing environment - this is the course for you.

Structured over 6 weekend modules, this Yoga Alliance accredited course is designed to fit in around your work and family commitments. You will deepen your understanding of yoga, and commit to sustainable and achievable daily practice; with support through the learning process and mentoring opportunities included.
