With deep sorrow, we hold the victims, their families, and all affected by the Bondi tragedy in our hearts. Xmas blessings: May we remember our shared humanity, even in a world that feels fractured and heavy right now.

I am truly grateful for your ongoing support and guidance. It is because of your leadership and kindness that I’ve been able to stay committed to my yoga practice and study, even with my busy daily life. Although one year is not a long time, I have gained so much, especially in my ability to feel and cultivate self awareness. These subtle yet powerful changes have positively influenced my everyday life, and even my close family members have noticed them. They fully support me to continue learning here.🙏

We were stoked and deeply honoured this week to hear these words from Ingrid New Zealand’s current Labour Minister:
“Very cool to run into my yoga teachers Jude and Peter from the Auckland Yoga Academy who, more than a decade ago, changed my life with their patience and precision — through a two-year hard-out journey of orthodox Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training. Once again this summer I will join Kate and Rusty as we lead daily classes to raise funds for a local community hall.”
To know that our teaching has rippled into the life of someone serving our country is incredibly moving — and a reminder of why we do this work. Yoga teacher training isn’t just about learning postures; it’s a transformative process of discipline, compassion, self-study, and community. It changes how you move, breathe, think, and ultimately, how you show up in the world.
If you’ve ever felt the call to go deeper into your practice, to understand yoga beyond the mat, or to share it with others in a grounded, traditional way… this is your moment. Whether you plan to teach or simply want to transform your own life, we welcome you with the same patience, precision, and wholehearted support that has guided students for over 37 years.
✨ Our 2026 Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Programme begins Feb and is now open for enrolment. https://yoga.co.nz/training/ya800/
Let’s make 2026 a year of purpose, practice, and profound growth.💃🏻💃🏻
