New eco mats, yogitoes towels and Lucy Lucid pants are in!
Greetings Yogis!
Autumn is on the way! Oh no! Did I just say that! Click here for the Bikram Hot Yoga timetable
Did you know, in a recent group of 40 Queenstowners, asked if they had smoked in the last 24 hours, eaten 5 veggies or fruits, or exercised 30 minutes, only 5 people could say no and yes yes? That is a group of 40 regular business people in Queenstown. No wonder everyone is run down!
Hey people! Your health is more important than anything you have. Make the effort. If you don’t have our health, you can’t help your family or yourself. Stress and stress related diseases are some of the biggest diseases on the rise in society today and are easy to understand and control with yoga and diet. Oh my! Back to veggies! At least everyone has gardens now with heaps of fresh greens!
Yoga is a scientifically designed system of self healing and self knowledge. It is a comittment know ourselves, feel sensation, and live fully through breath, energy and body awareness.Yoga offers practitioners the tools to prevent disease and reduce stress. Yoga is an amazing gift. So is Studio Sangha and Bikram Yoga Queenstown. We are very lucky to have these studios. We have a funky, inspired, well educated and always on the move yoga studio offering great daily yoga classes and international standard workshops every few months. We have 4 teachers who live and breathe our practices. We have a dedicated space for “Sangha”, people coming together to learn through experience and study.
We have evolved from one studio to two. We are one of the only locations on the planet where you can find an affiliated and passionate Bikram studio, while right next door, in a separate studio, Studio Sangha, we offer Mat Pilates, Restorative Yoga Nidra and Dynamic Hatha. We watch students decide which style suits them, and offer the highest quality instruction.
Yoga is totally cool. The more you practice, the better it gets. If you are not practicing it, you’re missing it. And according to this poll taken a few nights ago at St.John’s, a lot of people are missing it, and life, through fear, being embarrassed, not wanting to fail, being too inflexible, too out of shape, uninspired and lazy.
Inspiration comes through dedication, practice, effort and study. Reading, breathing, spending time in postures and feeling their very specific medical benefits fosters passion and a drive to know more.
This is it guys! No one gets out of here alive! Why not live to the best of your ability while here?
90 minutes a day of suffering is nothing compared to 90 amazing years on planet earth!
Only practicing yoga offers extension, expansion, and growth of the body, mind, breath, and spirit.
Self employed people, I want to push the Tues, Thurs, and Sat 8am classes! They are an awesome time of the day to get started summer and winter! Get in to the habit now! Done by 10am and feel great all day long. Set yourself up for your best day ever!
Sunday 4pm special class! This class will either be a silent led class or a music class with candles and low light just to make it relaxed and a bit of a different experience. I have found that it is very much a flow series when experienced through silence and awareness of breathe.
Saturday 11am! Sleep in and then practice! Awesome!!
Also and last but not least, we have some great new yoga gear!
We sell a thicker 6mm studio mats purposely bought for the Studio Studio for a bit more comfort and padding at $59. I’ve got blue in stock with black on the way.
We have the Eco-mats! 3 great colors, blue, purple and green! They have awesome grip as well as being nice to the earth. I think these ones will be good ones for long term durability as well as good traction. They are $79.
Yogitoes towels are here with great gripping and light weight. They are washable and great for Bikram (but can be used for any practice on top of another mat). Bright orange, blue and purple Yogitoes towels at $45. Great price for these towels!
And finally, our newest order of Lucy Lucid Pants is in the mail and expected to hit the rack early next week! These stylish New Zealand made pants are all hand-made, high quality and each one unique. Students loved the last order and this new order has been long awaited. ! They are great colors and good for autumn around town as well as in and out of practice. All pants $99.
That’s it for now, great to make contact with a lot of you and hope to see you soon,
You guys rock!
Namaste,
Bikram Yoga Queenstown and Studio Sangha
Peggy, Amanda, Kelly and Nicci

“Through repetition, the magic is forced to rise” What a great Bikram quote!
Bikram closed Waitangi Day, 9:30 am CD led class only on Sunday
Hi Yogis!
We have had a great start to the year with the Challenge and 10 people finishing together and strong! It is a huge undertaking! Congratulations!
I always love the energy in the studio during the Challenges. It is consistent. We see you guys every day. I love that! There are big changes and big rewards, ups and downs. Lots hard work, lots of sweat and always revelations and understanding that only come from experiencing the practice. No one truly knows this practice without practice. 99% practice, 1% theory. Thank you for your dedication, perseverence and inspiration. Well done!
