Here are some things our students have told us:
“Best yoga in Wellington!”
“These guys take yoga seriously so that you can have fun and learn from somebody who has done the hard yards to understand what needs to be explained and how best to explain it.”
“Urban Yoga provides me with the style of yoga that allows me to grow and develop my practice through the perfect balance of mindfulness and technical tweaks. It always seems to match what my mind and body needs at the time! Thank you.”
“I like the strong focus on technique of getting into the poses safely and properly, I also like when there is something tangible to take away and think about, like connecting yoga and self development/life in general.”
“I have a lot of respect for the teachers and feel that they really understand yoga. They are super experienced and knowledgeable, and have a really strong practice themselves. I think this is important to be able to understand issues that students have and offer tips and tricks to improve students’ practice. I really like the community feel which I haven’t found in other studios. I like the thought pieces that focus each class.”
“Urban Yoga is a haven of sanity in a sometimes crazy world. Kelly leads from the front as a superb, humorous and talented teacher who makes yoga accessible and inspiring for all. David is a superb teacher with infinite patience and the best way of explaining really complicated things with amazing clarity. Sarah, Shelley, Elissa and the other teachers are all hand picked to reflect Kelly’s philosophy of making yoga fun, inspirational and a core part of what keeps us human!”
“I come to Urban Yoga because I really appreciate the quality of the teaching provided. There is a strong balance of physical/mental challenge alongside being careful with alignment and recognising how far to go for each indvidual. When I attend a class I expect this to be the case at UY regardless of who happens to be instructing or their personal style/flair they bring to teaching. I have not necessarily experienced this at other yoga classes I have attended around Wellington.”
“Enjoy the style of teaching at UY in terms of high expectations of students, a cerebral approach to yoga that follows a theme, challenges in class that extend you and what you think you are capable of, a supportive environment without being too overbearing.”
“Yoga through Urban yoga is a very important part of my life. I am approaching 50 and are now more flexible than I have ever been and feel strong in my everyday life. I wish that I had started 20 years ago!”
“I have loved coming to Urban Yoga. I am stronger and fitter and maybe more flexible. The people are friendly and there are lots of regulars who attend so it is a bit like a wee community. One thing I really like about Urban Yoga is that the teachers are ‘real’ and down-to-earth. I do a lot of work on my own during the day and it is great to come to Urban Yoga for a bit of a laugh as well as a great yoga workout.”
“Your teaching has been amazing for my practice. It’s the detail that I like and I have a good inner teacher now as a result.”
“The stories and themes in the classes are really helpful/interesting. They help to place yoga in the context of daily life and make it something other than just another form of exercise.”
“I like the variety of postures explored, the teachers are very experienced and easy to relate to.”
“All Teachers are different, however the basic backbone remains – it is clear all the teachers care, are strong teachers and provide value for money.”
“Love the style – strong and good flow/pace and love that there is very little use of props.”
“I have enjoyed the classes as an introductory to yoga, Kelly has made me feel very comfortable as newcomer to yoga and am not afraid to ask questions.”
“Thanks for a great yoga class last week – it did the trick for inspiration, I qualified at Kinloch tri for the age group World Sprint Tri Champs in Auckland in October!”
“Totally enjoy your classes and always inspired by your teachings and presence. There’s always such a strongly positive vibe in your classes.
