Celebrating 50 Years of Mindful Movement at Tauranga Yoga Centre

This year marks an incredible milestone for Tauranga Yoga Centre — 50 years of sharing yoga with our community! Since our humble beginnings, we’ve welcomed students of all ages and abilities, creating a supportive space where everyone can experience the transformative benefits of yoga.

Over the decades, Tauranga Yoga Centre has been a place of connection, learning, and growth. We’re proud to have introduced thousands of people to the practice of yoga, helping them find greater balance, strength, and calm in their lives.

Here’s to many more years of mindful movement together! 🙏
