Community Yoga, Meditation
& Subsidised Courses

for all 
in Takaka, Golden Bay

Our mission is to promote Yoga and Meditation as credible health practices, improving the well-being of Golden Bay Community , especially those in low-income communities. Through our Community Wellbeing Program and accessible practices like postures, breathwork, Somatic Experiencing and meditation, we empower individuals to lead healthier lives. We integrate Yoga with mainstream healthcare, focusing on stress management, preventative health, and positive aging, while raising public awareness of Yoga’s benefits for long-term health.

About Us

​ Bay Yoga Education Trust is a charitable, not-for-profit community organisation based in beautiful Golden Bay. We believe yoga is a transformative practice that can bring ease, strength, and flexibility to the body, heart, and mind. Our vision is to make yoga accessible to everyone. You don’t need expensive gear, a big budget, or hours of free time to join us. Classes are affordable, open to all, and there are no membership fees. Most of your class fee goes directly to the teacher, with the remainder covering space rental and heating. Our yoga space has been lovingly co-created by our community, with generous donations of equipment, art, and fabrics. One day, we hope to serve from a larger space—if you know of a suitable venue near Commercial Street, Takaka, we’d love to hear from you. We welcome your feedback and ideas. You can email us at bayyoganz@gmail.com or, if you prefer to remain anonymous, slip a note under our door.
