Yoga has always kind of intimidated me, I’m not the most flexible of people and group classes aren’t really my thing. Deciding to bite the bullet and give it a go I ended up at the Iyengar Yoga Centre on Great North Rd and I was really impressed by the beginners class. Susie was our teacher and she instantly made my partner and I feel welcome. Some of the poses can be a little awkward at first but with a little guidance they are easier to get right. For a first timer like myself I would without a doubt recommend heading along and getting out of your comfort zone, I definitely left feeling a little euphoric - I can see why this would be addictive!
I've really enjoyed my sessions at Iyengar Yoga Centre on Auckland's Great North Rd. Firstly, it's a great space with lots of light and a great outlook; secondly the instructors are fantastic and really accommodating, no matter what level you're at. That said, I recommend signing up for one of their eight-week introductory courses. Along with being a good deal pricewise, it's also a great introduction to Iyengar, or yoga more generally if you've never done it before.
