Whangarei Heads Yoga Classes
Both YOGA and PILATES are considered ‘mind-body’ exercise as they teach conditioning and control, not just of the physical body but also for self healing and emotional calm. They are excellent for toning and balance, strength and flexibility, stress relief, pain management and centering. Both are non-impact and are used extensively for rehabilitation of injuries and postural realignment.
Classes are tailored to the needs of participants and focus on postural alignment. All classes at Whangarei Heads Yoga are drop in, although we suggest you pre book if you have not attended one of our classes before. We offer a range of class styles to suit you.
