 Studio Timetable and Pricing

 

Studio Classes

We have a FULL timetable of classes running weekly Monday – Friday, in our purpose built studio in Totara Point, Taupo.  At the Danske Mobler roundabout, turn left: you will find us opposite Flooring Xtra.  Parking is a-plenty directly outside, with no time limits, which is great if you want to hang around afterwards and talk with your fellow students, or are coming to one of our longer classes.

We recommend coming at least 10 minutes early to class to give yourself time to get settled and ready to begin.

She created and directed her first 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in 2010/11 and has continued to develop, mentor and evolve it since. Built from this strong foundation Love Yoga, her third studio was opened in 2015. Debi teaches a wide range of students in Ashtanga (the Primary and Intermediate series) both traditional Mysore style and Counted classes, she also shares Gentle Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Handstand Masterclasses and  Tai Chi – which allows her to offer classes that cater to different needs. She now teaches at the studio as well as in the community, at local colleges and schools, youth programmes and internationally, sharing workshops and retreats around the world.

Teacher

Sandy Farquhar

has engaged with various forms of yoga over many years. She teaches hatha and restorative yoga and incorporates somatic movement into her classes. A former teacher educator and academic, she is now thrilled to be a member of the Love Yoga team where she can share and further explore the path of yoga.

Sandy’s life-long fascination and engagement with embodied practices (including dance, movement and tai chi) alongside her yoga training has led her to deeply value softening, resting and releasing as the way to an authentic yoga practice. Sandy has completed yoga teacher training in hatha, restorative, pregnancy and irest and since coming to Love Yoga is looking to further her own practice through Ashtanga Yoga.
