Building a Yoga Community in Milford, North Shore, Auckland
Offering Community Yoga in Milford is truly inspiring. Each week, I guide four community yoga classes here on the North Shore, Auckland, where a beautiful, diverse group of people come together — men and women, mothers and fathers, grandparents, children, people in recovery, those living with chronic pain, those living with disabilities, and even a lovely deaf student who always brightens our space.
In our classes, everyone is welcome just as they are. Some practice chair yoga, others move on the mat — all are supported, seen and valued. All equipment is provided, so you can simply arrive, breathe and enjoy moving at your own pace.
Our sessions are light-hearted, fun and heart-centered, combining mindful movement, community connection and a touch of laughter. Over the past two years, these well-supported Milford yoga classes have grown into something truly special — a warm, inclusive community built on connection, compassion and healing.
Because that’s what community is — yoga for all bodies, all ages and all hearts. 💜
A Heartfelt Moment After Class
Today, after class, I felt inspired to write this blog. One of my regular students — who’s been attending since I first began teaching yoga in Milford — stayed after class for a chat.
He told me I must be intuitive. He’d arrived with a headache, but by the end of the gentle yoga practice, it was gone. He said I somehow knew exactly what he needed.
What a beautiful soul.
I smiled and said, “No, you made your headache go away. You simply used some of the yoga techniques I offered.”
He did the work — tuning into his breath, moving with awareness and allowing the tension to dissolve. It was a lovely reminder that healing through yoga begins with awareness, compassion and trust in our own bodies.
Healing Through Awareness and Compassion
The human body is incredible. When we slow down enough to notice, accept and lean into what we’re feeling — with love and compassion — we create space for deep healing through yoga and mindfulness.
This is what I witness every week in our Milford yoga community: people of all ages and abilities discovering the healing power of awareness, breath and mindful movement.
Stories of Transformation
Another one of my long-time students, who’s been attending for a couple of years, once struggled with chronic lower back pain. Since starting his yoga journey in Auckland, he’s strengthened his back and hasn’t had an episode of pain in nearly two years.
He’s certain that yoga helped him heal, and now he and his wife share warm, friendly moments in class each week.
Stories like these remind me why I love teaching community yoga — it’s about so much more than stretching or postures. It’s about connection, growth and shared healing.
Community as a Path to Love and Healing
Every class, every breath and every shared smile reinforces what I deeply believe: Community = Connection = Love = Healing.
When we gather for community yoga on the North Shore, we’re not just practicing movement — we’re creating a space where everyone feels seen, supported and connected. Together, we nurture mind, body and spirit.
Have you experienced a moment like this — where connection and movement helped you
heal?
