Different Paths of Yoga🧘🤓

One of the beautiful things about Yoga is that there is a different pathway for each & every one of us.

If you’re new to yoga, returning after a break, or just wondering how to make the most of your practice, you might be asking:

“What kind of yoga should I be doing?”

At Grassroots Yoga in Christchurch, we hear this all the time — especially from beginners or those looking for stress relief. The good news? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best yoga for you depends on your needs, your goals, and how you’re feeling each day.

We offer a full schedule of classes to support every type of body, lifestyle, and experience level. Whether you’re seeking a beginner-friendly yoga class, more physical challenge, or a deep mental reset, there’s a class for you here in our warm, welcoming studio in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
🧘‍♀️ How to Build a Balanced Yoga Routine
Not sure where to begin or how often to come? Try this:

✅ Start with Foundations
⬆️ Move into Evolve
🌊 Add Flow for energy
🧘‍♂️ Include Yin or Restorative to unwind

A balanced weekly routine might look like 2–3 active classes plus one slower, more restorative practice. This combination supports not just strength and flexibility, but mental clarity, emotional resilience, and better sleep.

🕒 “But I Don’t Have Time…”
We get it. Life’s busy. But here’s the truth:

If you think you’re too busy for yoga… that’s exactly why you need it.

Even one class a week can help you feel more grounded, calm, and connected. Start small, and let your practice grow with you.
🌿 Ready to Begin?
We’d love to help you get started with beginners yoga in Christchurch. Drop into a Foundations class, or reach out and we’ll guide you toward the best starting point for your needs.

Your mat is waiting. So are we.

See you in the studio, give us a call 03 972 5452 to make your time on the mat as stress free as possible x

🤔Did you know we do one on one sessions? 🤔

These can be as short as a one off 30 min session of regular 1 hour sessions on a 3x a week basis.

What our students like about our one on ones is that they find that they progress really quickly whether it is to get physical results such as getting stronger, fixing aches & pains, feeling more flexible. Or if the student is wanting something a little bit deeper such as finding a deeper connection within themselves & their breathe.

Some of our one on one students prefer about one on ones is that they are set up in their own time availability and they enjoy the opportunity to tune into themselves without being in a larger group (which can be a bit intimidating to some people!)

If one on one sessions sound like your cup of tea 🍵dm us and we will sort out a session for you 💚💚
