YOGA

WELCOME

Our mission is to make
you smile

Welcome to a safe space to explore & create your well-feeling! Our holistic intuitive style is Hatha Yoga based, but open to influences and inspirations across the huge range of styles and variations Yoga has on offer today. While guiding you along the way we provide freedom for creating your own personal approach for your Yoga practice, which also aims at the overall traditional goal of Yoga practice: Freedom for body, mind and spirit! - The ultimate yoga experience. Come and visit our yoga studio today!

Using our intuition with Yoga can greatly help us learn how to listen to our bodies and how to gently adjust postures to our individual needs. This will enhance your overall well-feeling, and support you to create a practice that becomes uniquely your own.

Yoga and Intuition will encourage you always to find your own rhythm and go at your own pace, hold any postures only as long as it feels right for you and rest any time you like.

Our Christchurch yoga classes are for beginners and intermediate level Yogis and get adjusted continuously to match as best as possible what you need. The style is intuitive and gentle with a challenging edge for healthy expansion. We put a lot of emphasis on making the practice comfortable and enjoyable for you! The sessions usually start with a sequence of 'Yoga for the mind' and also provide a guided deep relaxation at the end of each class.

Give the gift of well-feeling this season

Our bodies are our gardens -
our wills are our gardeners.

Testimonials

My husband and I recently completed the 9-week course 'The Five Tibetan Rites & Chakra Balancing' conducted by Maja Moritz. This course not only introduced us to the physical practices of the Tibetan Rites but also their history and the system of Chakras that the Rites are based on with the aim of restoring our well being and harmony.

Maja is a gifted and meticulous teacher: she guided us to experience the beauty of the Tibetan Rites and the Chakras in her classes as well as through the wealth of essential information in the weekly handouts she prepared so we could refer to these in order to refresh the details of the Rites and Chakras.

We have benefitted beyond words from this course and have adopted the Rites as our daily practice: it continues to enrich our lives, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Anne & Bruce

I enjoy yoga, it is very good for me and Maja's style suits me well. To be honest, I am not really the type to do something like yoga and especially to stick with it, so I'm pleasantly surprised with myself!

Jill Plunket

Have been going to yoga with Maja for a few months now and can say unequivocally, it is the best yoga style I have ever done. Maja is positive encouraging and incredibly kind and patient. I have achieved more in these months than in all the years going to Yoga before I started Maja's classes. I would thoroughly recommend her! Namaste.

Penny McCambridge

From the very first class of the beginners course I have enjoyed Maja’s enthusiasm, patience, and love of Yoga. She makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Maja is an excellent teacher. It is definitely one of the most relaxing experiences I have ever felt.

Claudia Engelmann

In the past I have approached yoga a bit like medicine - something I needed to take but not really enjoyable. However, this all changed when I joined Maja's classes. Maja uses an intuitive yoga approach and I loved it. I came each week for my body to be healed, to mediate, to find a calm place, and to be nurtured. At last, I have found a teacher for me.

Cynthia Roberts

I love Maja's beginners yoga class. Maja always makes me feel capable and encourages me to listen to my body and adapt the moves to my ability level whilst still challenging myself. She is an excellent teacher that I would recommend to anybody!

Karen from Sydenham

I love Maja’s classes. They are small enough that Maya gives everyone individual assistance when required. She helps us to understand the yoga poses and principles. She has a very calming voice. I look forward to my yoga with Maja.

Colleen Wadley

Loving yoga with Maja after starting a year ago. I am particularly enjoying the stretching and strengthening that come with the different postures. Maia is great with her encouragement and correcting which keeps me trying out new postures every week.
