SERVICES
Welcome to Four Winds Yoga
Yoga is an ancient art form, that has much in common with disciplines aimed at refining and culturing who we are. It is a broad subject open to many interpretations and practices. Yoga taught at Four Winds is about building a practice mentality, a way of approaching the postures that is systematic and transformational on all levels; body, mind and spirit.
Yoga does not belong to any culture, rather we bring our culture to yoga and work from there. The gift of Yoga to the west by India has allowed this ancient art to flourish and grow by virtue of its many positive effects on those who regularly practice.

About Four Winds Yoga
Formerly known as Yogashala Ponsonby, Four Winds Yoga was established in 1996 at the beautiful Ponsonby Community Centre. The yoga taught at Four Winds is based on the teachings by BKS Iyengar.
Iyengar Yoga is a style primarily concerned with alignment of the body. Alignment of the body; creating space, based on support, bearing the load. It is a courageous practice that the regular practitioner benefits from enormously.
The strength of the teacher is to teach the students to learn, so they in turn can teach themselves. The yoga requires a level of dedication, not so much as mastering a plethora of techniques but as a way to cultivate a practice based on the understanding within the traditions of a yoga practice.
