Kindred Studio

Fantastic experience: Loved it - lotta of stretches and reminders to strengthen knee muscles!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed this class. Vinyasa flow challenges my skill level, and gives me things to work toward. I love the message and breath work at the beginning from Chai while seated and find it inspiring and helpful. A great workout and also uplifting. Thankyou!

Positive experience: Good course. Different breathing techniques shared and discussed which I appreciated. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Debbie is yin itself: a ‘being’ woman whose classes are calm, clearly explained, and so nurturing.

Fantastic experience: I adore Yin classes with Chai at Kindred. Kindred has a beautiful atmosphere and deeply relaxing and restorative yin classes.

Fantastic experience: I just love it

Fantastic experience: Julie is a fantastic teacher and she is clear and slow in her instructions. Always well planned and has been following the Chakras which has been excellent. Some good readings and explanations of the chakras.

Positive experience: I really enjoyed the class and Chelsea's flow. The soundbath at the end was incredibly beautiful. Thanks for that Chelsea! What a treat. Unfortunately I found the studio very busy tonight. With the space at absolute capacity, it felt a little hard to focus over the rustle and bustle and there wasn't quite enough space to move through the flow comfortably... But I guess it just goes to show how popular the Friday Koha classes are. Thanks to everyone who facilitates these classes

Fantastic experience: Sekita-Ra’s Yin Yoga classes are deeply restorative, who would have thought that laying on a boulster in one position for 4-6mins could elicit such release emotionally and physically. (The body really does keep store). I also love that while we are holding the poses Sekita-Ra recites fables, antidotes and teachings from Yogic, Ayurvedic and other Eastern traditions. Such holistic classes, the perfect way to start the day, thank you

Fantastic experience: Every class with Bex is yoga-bliss.

Fantastic experience: A powerful transformative journey. Felt energised and also deeply peaceful afterwards. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: I regularly join the online classes at Kindred. There are a number of classes each day to join and the quality of teachers is excellent. Especially Chai’s classes, challenging but fun. The studio offers a welcoming community, even joining virtually!

Fantastic experience: Debbie has deep knowledge and arranges all aspects of this yin class in a way that congruently reflects her as a person and her strong wish to support the well-being of participants

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the Koha practice today and a nice sized class. Thanks

Fantastic experience: What I love about Kindred is how each class is unique. It depends who is teaching and what style it is, each teacher (there are many) has their own style. I go to a fair number throughout the two months I've been practicing with Kindred and love the diversity of styles across the week. Recommend taking the intro offer and attending as many as possible. You might gravitate to one, or maybe two classes, or you might just enjoy the variety and go to multiple on the various days. Can't go wrong either way. I was not paid to do this review.

Fantastic experience: All the yoga instructors are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, caring and fun. In particular, Jane, who teaches the Hatha class. Being a beginner and with injuries, I also feel in good hands in all the various classes I have attended.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed Kim’s class

Fantastic experience: Bex’s hatha class was so beautiful. I left feeling both energised and at peace. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Sekita-Ra is an excellent yoga instructor. She is clear in her directions and wise with her advice, often reminding one to listen to his or her own body for what feels right. Her lovely personality and warmth adds so much to this experience.

Fantastic experience: Great yoga...thankyou Trudy

Fantastic experience: Loved this class, challenging but in a fun gentle way.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful fun and caring yogi

Fantastic experience: Excellent massage.

Fantastic experience: Chai’s classes are a complete mind body spirit connection.. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Excellent session with good variation.

Fantastic experience: I have discovered that Yin at Kindred is the perfect way to fully stretch out muscles that I could never get to their maximum flexibility before. Deeply nourishing for body and mind.

Fantastic experience: I love this form of exercise - the music, the space, the moves, the way every part of the body gets a stretch, the freedom within the guided moves to do what suits each body. I feel great afterwards.

Fantastic experience: Bex has a wealth of knowledge to share about pregnancy and post partum. I really enjoyed the 6 week course, with a new topic each week, a lovely group of women and amazing yoga class. Bex gave me confidence to trust by body and keep doing yoga throughout pregnancy. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Kindred is a beautiful, clean space to do yoga in with lovely props and open hearted staff. Chai's Wed a.m. classes leave me breathing deeper and feeling both more grounded and lighter at the same time- they are a great addition to my week and support my life balance.

Fantastic experience: Amazing masseuse who can fix things other practitioners have not been able to fix for many of his clients. As a loyal supporter of many years, you should try a massage with Chai for any aches and pains and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. He is a magician when it comes to treating pain.

Fantastic experience: Plenty of variety in classes available and adjustable to all levels of practice, experienced or not. The extremely experienced collection of teachers will guide you in a fun, attentive and caring way. A great sense of community aswell. Highly recommend Kindred as a top class studio to all!

Fantastic experience: Excellent value for money and I love the long sessions of 75 to 90 mins - most other studios only have 45 or 60 min classes.

Fantastic experience: Bex and Chai are lovely and the Solstice Silent Disco in nature at the Centre of NZ was a magical experience. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: A beautiful experience in a safe and tranquil environment. Really appreciate Chai's genuine, caring and insightful teaching approach. Thanks Chai

Fantastic experience: Great Yoga class today at Kindred, as usual. Thanks Chai for my weekly fix of bend it, stretch it and stay focused.

Fantastic experience: Teachers & all Kindred team are just amazing. Always caring about the students and promoting Best yoga values & practice.

Fantastic experience: I honestly love the classes at Kindred Studio. Teachers are awesome and caring and knowledgable .The studio has a very welcoming feel and is a perfect space for yoga. There is also a good selection of different types of classes available too ❤

Fantastic experience: I enjoy everything Kindred has to offer. . The ambience of the studio is something else. Here the soul feels connected and grounded through beautifully complementary sound tracks and essences. A warm and nurturing colour scheme and sensational view. AAH Heaven

Fantastic experience: Looks great from outside . Library nook and lovely wee gardens View of sea and walking trail and or car parks The hidden treasure. Walked from Trafalgar centre's under the bridge and there it is.

Fantastic experience: Great range of classes and always a special experience that goes beyond a gym-class yoga experience. The teachers are experienced and actually have anatomical knowledge which makes classes safe and fun.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Studio and Best teacher training around!! This place has truly been life changing for me.

Fantastic experience: The Studio Evolve in Nelson offers many great yoga classes, and the one that I found most helpful for my fitness/ability level was Sheila Kennard's Chair Yoga which is held on Thursdays at 11.15am. Due to a tailbone injury, it is not comfortable for me to sit on a mat on the floor, so chair yoga seemed a perfect match for me. Sheila's positive approach, kind and caring nature with a variety of options for each move made it easy and a very enjoyable experience. It wasn't about competing with anyone, just doing my best at whatever level I could handle. One of the best things about this class is that it doesn't matter how old - or young - you are or what fitness level you are at - you will reap benefits from the very first class. Thank you, Studio Evolve, for supporting this great class taught by an amazing person who has helped be become more flexible, more balanced, and healthier in mind/body/spirit. Thank you, Sheila! Light, Love & Peace, Lori Anne Parker Animal Reiki Nelson

Fantastic experience: Just perfect love it!! Def advice you to go here :)

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best yoga studio in Nelson. Chai is a very experienced teacher and a joy to practice with. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great place for yoga. I attended three sessions while visiting from out of town. Two Vinyasa (flow) sessions and a restorative; very effective. Chai's class left me feeling pretty zen! I have not done yoga before; I'm hooked now. I'll be back next time I'm there. Namaste! :)
