Yoga classes in more detail

Yoga classes, such as Hatha Flow and Gentle/ Restorative yoga, starts with your teacher  checking in with each member of the class. We then move through a warm up sequence into an active selection of postures. Ali (head teacher) uses over 200 postural variations.  Verbal corrections will be offered, and classes may also include breathing exercises (pranayama), seated mindfulness (dharana), and relaxation (savasana). Sometimes essential oils may be offered at the end of class for mood-enhancement.

When class numbers are low

NZ Yoga Centre has to run as a business to keep up with weekly business expenses. Likewise, head teacher, AliHale Tilley, makes her livelihood by the revenue generated by teaching yoga classes, running personal yoga sessions, and taking people on overseas yoga trips. Her class fee reflects her personal training fee of $80/ hour.

That means, as long as there are 6 people or more attending scheduled 1 hour classes, the class will go ahead. On the other hand, if there are 5 people or less a  class, or 6 people the teacher may choose to shorten the class time.

To prevent the disappointment and inconvenience of class cancellations, please come to class regularly, bring your family members or friends and let your teacher know if you can’t make it one week. That way your teacher may choose to make a concession if class numbers fluctuate on that day.

Thank you for your kind consideration.
