Yoga for the People: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I love going to Yoga for the People. The teachers are very informative and encouraging (without the false Pollyanna type stuff). I especially feel support with my mobility issues. Thank you YFTP!!!!
Kia ora Bhagee - so good to hear! And I loved the comment about Pollyanna - it seems like we have achieved a good balance of encouraging you, while also being realistic about working with what your body allows you to do on the day of the class! Thank you for being such a good student - in other words, the sort of student who will listen to your body instead of letting the ego take over!
Fantastic experience: Hands down best first experience at a yoga studio ! So welcoming and helpful !! Highly recommend if your new to Pilates/yoga :))
Oh wow - that is so good to hear! Lots of people coming to Yoga for the People have never taken a yoga or pilates class before, and our aim is to make it a great experience - no matter your level of experience or how fit or flexible you feel. There is definitely a style for every body, and we just want to help you find it:)
Fantastic experience: If you are looking to try hot yoga I highly recommend. They are very experienced, it is a safe environment for all and I have been going casually for 2 and a half years . Only positive things to say
Nga mihi Emma - so glad you are enjoying the classes and appreciate the benefit of having well trained and experienced teachers. Every single teacher at Yoga for the People puts so much effort into being the best we can be at every single class - and hearing such positive feedback is so nice:)
Fantastic experience: Yoga for the People is such a great place to practice yoga. The teachers are professional, caring, remember who you are and the classes are focused, enabling you to practice your yoga, shower and head back to your day or night. I've been going for a couple of years and am grateful to be part of the Yoga for the People community.
Thank you so much Toni - every single day our teachers put so much effort into being the best teachers we can be - and to helping people like you achieve your goals. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Hot, humid, sweaty and pure dead brilliant! The only way to describe Jude's Inferno Hot Pilates workout this morning! You give us 100% Jude and we love you for it :)
Great to hear you loved the class - and you are right, Jude gives 100% as a teacher and inspires the whole class to respond in the same way!!
Fantastic experience: Yoga for the People is a great experience - the heat and routine works every time for creating a sense of challenge and wellbeing
Thanks Robyn - what a great summary of the benefits of the classes! See you soon:)
Fantastic experience: Great studio i visited on a recent trip to Wellington. Very welcoming and professional teacher. Will definitely return on my next stay and make use of the travel package.
Thank you Rhonwen - we look forward to seeing you back! The Traveller's Special is designed for people just like you - 7 days of unlimited practice, with a mat and two towels each class included - all for only $50. All you need is yourself and some yoga clothes :)
Fantastic experience: Very good classes benefit both your body and mind!
Hi May - I am so glad you are enjoying the classes - the fact that you have become such a regular at the studio tells me how much benefit you are getting from a regular practice. Well done for making this commitment to yourself:)
Fantastic experience: The instructors here are very knowledgeable and friendly. Their classes are great for all levels. If you want to give hot yoga a try, this is the perfect place to go!
Great to hear you are loving the classes and happy to recommend to others! See you soon
Fantastic experience: Love the heat! What's great about Bikram is the consistency of the sequencing. Knowing what to expect and building on it at your own pace.
Such a great summary of what we love about the practice - being able to come to a class and let the teacher's voice take over for a while means your own brain gets a bit of a rest! Look forward to seeing you again soon Tom
Fantastic experience: Drop in class while I'm in Wellington on holiday. Amazing! I really enjoyed it, I love that the studio does 45, 60 and 90 classes. Renee is a great instructor and I will go back.
Hi Suz - thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and great to hear you will be back and you loved the variety of classes. Renee is definitely a great teacher - we are lucky to have a whole team of excellent teachers at YFT!
Negative experience: Inconsistent. Claire (owner) verbal and tone in class is amazing. Claire embodies what it is all about. It is not replicated across the the teachers though. Sure the response communicated was "one has to to sort themselves out and be independent of teacher". Missing point in my view, Teachers who emphasis the ra ra ra like a gym, I would prefer they be honest and say that on the schedule and I will not come. Terrible experience. If the teacher cannot hold their centre, and embody all the 3 princples of hatha- - why are they are teacher at the studio ?
Hi Sam - thanks for your honest feedback. We always want to know how students feel about the classes, even when it is clear that it was not a god experience for you. I will share these comments with the teaching team as I know everyone of us is committed to improving our teaching in any way we can. Respecting the lineage that we are part of is an important part of that.
Fantastic experience: Yoga for the People helps me release stiffness in my body. As I move into my wiser years my body can sometimes be less flexible than previously, I have found that even one or two classes will help to put some
What an amazing way to describe it - our 'wiser years'! It is so lovely to have you as part of the YFTP community:)
Fantastic experience: Such a welcoming environment. I really enjoy participating; teachers and participants are respectful, focussed and supportive.
Fantastic experience: Great studio, nice staff, very professional, can highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Eternally grateful I found this studio, a safe and positive space, with amazing people and the most patient and helpful instructors. Since day one I felt so comfortable and excited to come back. Thank you Claire, thank you Jude, Anna, Anthie, Renee and everyone else. You are all angels xx ilona
Hi Ilona - and we are so glad you found us! Our aim at Yoga for the People is to be just that - a place where everybody feels welcome. The whole teaching team works hard at that - but the vibrancy of a studio comes mainly from the students, so thank you for being a part of our amazing community while you were in Wellington:)
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and inviting for new folks. Yoga session is not crazy intense (good for all levels), but add the heat and it is a terrific workout. Instructor was very good and helpful.
So glad you enjoyed it - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts:)
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place with super friendly and positive people. I bought a ten day trial for just 25 dollars. So inexpensive and a great way to test Hoy Yoga.
So glad to hear this - we love welcoming new people to the studio - and hope you enjoyed the trial period and will be back:)
Fantastic experience: I did the inferno pilate this morning and really enjoyed the all round body workout, the music and the heat! I felt like I had a great workout but it felt gentle and I could modify the workout to my body and fitness level. The instructor was also warm and welcoming, and the studio was spacious and clean.
Fantastic experience: Virtual Yin works really well for me right now. To be able to practice in the evening, at home, is very beneficial.
Fantastic experience: My favourite studio in Wellington - I do hot pilates & bikram classes here and love the instructors and the atmosphere. So homely and everyone is super friendly! Try with a started pack and I am sure you will be sold too.
Kate - thanks so much! It's so good to have you practice with us at Yoga for the People and help us spread the word about the amazing benefits yoga brings to us all :)
Fantastic experience: The name of the studio implies exactly what the place is all about. Felt very welcomed by Claire and her team. Very understanding teachers, without the overinflated yogi egos. A spacious hall so youll find a spot to see yourself for poisture correction.
Thank you so much - all of the teaching team work so hard at making the studio a place where everyone gets a great class AND a warm welcome. So glad to hear about your positive experience :)
Fantastic experience: Really nice studio!! And right in the centre of Wellington :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing!
Fantastic experience: Just completed the 10 day starter pass. It was a great way to experience all the classes and find one that works for you. All the teachers are loverly and the room is nice and hot. Fantastic facilities.
Fantastic experience: 1st time doing bikram yoga...had the most welcoming friendly introduction to this new experience. Thankyou Jude for being so accommodating..awesome class...will definitely go again..Namaste!

No problem, thanks for the review. We glad you're enjoying the virtual yoga
Fantastic experience: This studio is a haven with friendly and professional staff and a relaxed and welcoming feel as well as a good variety of classes and class times highly recommend especially at this time of year!
Thanks Diane, you're welcome anytime
Fantastic experience: I love this studio. They offer real Bikram yoga classes and unlike other studios in Wellington the studio is really hot. The teachers are really friendly and they usually give advice on how to fix your posture and encourage you to come. Don’t wAste your time with other studios . Yoga for the people is the real deal.
Thanks for the review Dila, we're very proud of our teachers.
Fantastic experience: I joined the 10 days pass for newbies. This is absolutely awesome! Because with a very reasonable price you get the chance to meet several yoga teachers and experience the different classes offered along the week. You also have the chance to meet participants and to be part of the nice group atmosphere of Yoga for the People. In each class, there is a good balance of challenge and self care, so you gradually improve without injuries. All in all a great place to practice yoga regularly.
Hey Cristian, thanks so much for the review, we're so glad you got to meet our teachers and experience different classes to see what works for you. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Love bikram yoga! Great studio with fantastic teachers
Thanks David, really appreciate you leaving a review
Fantastic experience: the best form of yoga in Wellington. I love the Bikram sequence and very grateful it is here in Wellington!!! I love the people who go here and the teachers as well as the studio environment
Thanks Kamini, we're really grateful for all our students and the teachers we have
Fantastic experience: Great yoga studio. They do authentic Bikram style hot yoga. Highly recommended.
