New Zealand's Most Awarded Yoga & Pilates Studio
Yoga & Pilates adapted
to everybody.
Christchurch and online, since 2013.
Want to feel better, stronger, more flexible, calmer? If you feel like a beginner, have sore bits and don't look like the people on Instagram — this is the place for you. Every class is planned around the people booked into it.
— Who are our classes for?
Everyone,
all ages, all abilities.
You don't have to look like those people on Instagram. Most of our students are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Beginners and 20-year regulars practice side by side. There's a place for you.
— What does "Adapted" actually mean?
A different way
of running a class.
Other studios in town run a programmed class that students adapt themselves to. We do it the other way around. Three things happen before, during, and after every class:
— Recognised by the industry, year after year
Exercise NZ awards recognition 2018–2021, including Highly Commended NZ Studio of the Year. We are the most awarded studio in NZ.
— How you will feel
Stronger, supported,
freer, calmer.
Four shifts our members tell us about, on and off the mat.
Get Stronger & Toned
Whole-body strength. Core, pelvic floor, posture.
Prevent and heal from injuries, as well as getting toned. Members report fewer aches, better balance, and confidence to do the things they used to avoid.
Be Supported
Small classes. In-class help. A community that turns up.
On and off the mat. We'll celebrate your wins, and call when you go missing; celebrate your milestones, and ensure our studio wall is a community space that lifts you up when life gets tough. You not only get great results and benefits, but also have fun in the process.
Improved flexibility, move freer
Better mobility. Fewer aches. More space in the body.
Reach overhead without thinking. Bend down to put your shoes on without grunting. The everyday stuff that quietly disappeared. Improve your joint mobility and overall energy throughout your body.
Be calmer, less stressed
Better sleep. Less stress. A nervous system that downshifts.
Not only will your physical balance improve but also your mental balance. Breath, awareness and recovery are built into every class — the calm is as much the point as the strength.

— Testimonials
What our community have to say.
"At 66, I felt completely out of shape and assumed everyone would be flexible and wearing tight gym gear. Walking into the studio changed everything. The environment is so incredibly warm, down-to-earth, and welcoming. No one is judging you, and there is zero ego. It’s easily the best thing I’ve done for my health in a decade."
"After my lower back injury, I was scared to try any exercise. The instructors here operate with a truly professional, therapeutic lens. Before every single class, my mat is already set up with specific props just for me. They give me modified options in real-time so I can build deep core stability without any pain. My physio is absolutely thrilled with my progress."
"As a desk worker managing tight hamstrings and a stiff neck, I knew I needed to build functional power. The Men's Pilates class stripped away all the usual gym intimidation. It's a fantastic, down-to-earth group of local gentlemen who take their structural health seriously—and heading down to the Brewery at The Tannery for a pint together after class makes it a highlight of the week."
"Finding out I could seamlessly use my pass across 30+ pregnancy-safe classes 7 days a week was a total game-changer. The instructors guided me safely through every single trimester. Now that my little one is here, the Mums & Bubs classes are a total sanctuary. Plus, knowing my unused classes roll over and accumulate means I never feel stressed about losing out if life gets chaotic."
