Kelly is opening a new studio called Urban Yoga at Level 3, 160 Willis Street on January 16, 2012. There will be classes of all levels on offer, as well as the occasional workshop and guest teacher.

Lynda’s new venture is called freed om yoga. From early February she will be offering classes from the 4e dance studio located at 8 Fifeshire Avenue.

Marianne will be teaching from the Powa Centre from January 9, 2012.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

~ Henri Bergson (1859-1941), French philosopher.

Many of you will be aware that change is in the air at Yoga Unlimited. Our current lease at 80 Tory Street expires in December, and we have decided not to renew it.

We are both ready to take on new personal challenges, and in order to create space for this process, we have decided that this is a good time to say goodbye to Yoga Unlimited. We will both continue to teach classes in the city, and will soon be announcing where you will be able to find us in the new year.

The last class in Tory Street will be on Wednesday, the 21st of December, at 6pm. We are excited to announce that this class will be a special chanting, pranayama and meditation class, which we will teach together.

We have had some really special times in our little studio, and we are very grateful to all of the wonderful teachers and students who have helped us to build our yoga community.

We are especially thankful to the teachers who have supported us by offering regular timetable classes. Without them it would have been very hard for us to serve the needs of all of our students. We know by your regular attendance that you too have appreciated the wonderful classes that Marianne and Amy have provided, and we will be sure to let you know where you can find them both next year.

We have learned so much from the interactions we have had with all of you, and we look forward to many more opportunities for connection.

Meanwhile, we look forward to another wonderful month of yoga with you in Tory Street.

Om shanti,

Lynda & Kelly.

Join Oli on two consecutive Sunday afternoons – October 30 and November 6 – from 2:00 – 5:00pm.

• Learn to back-bend with more ease.
• Discover your alignment in a dynamic, non-judgmental way through gentle movement explorations.
• Learn to approach yoga with gentle compassion and to practise without pain.
• Explore the functional application of back-bending in your daily life.

Refine your back-bending practice through a series of gentle, guided movement explorations. These mindful movements allow you to feel for yourself where you are overworking – and find new ways to distribute the work evenly, undoing tension.

When we practise mindfulness and compassion in yoga, we learn not only how to perform asana (postures) with more ease and without pain but to act and move in the world like this as well.

Visit our events page to find out more about this workshop. To register, please email  bookings@yogaunlimited.co.nz, call 3844329, or text Lynda on 021-386914.

We are pleased to announce that we will be welcoming New Zealand’s only certified Anusara teacher back to Wellington November 19 and 20th. Katie Lane will be offering a workshop that will run Saturday morning and afternoon plus Sunday morning. This short workshop will give you a taste of the good stuff without exhausting you to pieces in the ramp up to silly season. Please join us for this spring time pick-me-up!

Spaces will be in high demand so please book early to avoid missing out!
