Connect Yoga
A Yoga Community on the North Shore in Auckland
Connect Yoga is the brainchild of Ed Dutton and Jillian McLean. Ed, originally from South Africa, and Jillian, from Pennsylvania, met in the local Birkenhead yoga community. In 2022 they knew they wanted to share their passion and love of yoga.
At Connect Yoga, we believe that yoga is not just about physical strength and flexibility, but also about mental and emotional empowerment. Our classes and workshops are designed to help you connect with your inner self and build the confidence to tackle whatever life throws your way.
Welcome - Let's Connect!
Our classes are warm and welcoming, where people of all ages and abilities can come to practice yoga and connect with their community. We are dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential, whether they're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner.
Our classes are held at our studio space, 21 Kawana Street, Northcote. There is plenty of onsite parking available.
Our yoga classes
Our classes are a Vinyasa style yoga and are designed to cater to all levels of experience and fitness - yoga beginners are welcome, and we make sure our classes are fulfilling for people more experienced at yoga too.
We begin low down to the ground and work our way up to standing and sun-salutations, and then end with some low to the ground, seated positions. We ensure there is time for breath-work, core/stability work, balancing and strength.
We end our classes in Savasana, and we aim to ensure that your practice makes you feel better in body and mind, and glad that you made the time to come to yoga.
Yoga classes are time for you, body and mind
We want you to come to our yoga classes because we know how great it feels to do yoga. There is so much business in modern life and a yoga class is an opportunity to enjoy feeling energised, well, and calm.
Our classes are great value for money, and we are sure your body will thank you for it. Yoga is a wonderful mind and body practice, suitable for all levels of fitness and flexibility.
We love creating a community and our classes are designed to support everyone who comes, from the high-powered CEO, to the grandmother, to the teenager facing exams and other anxieties.
We want to bring yoga to everyone!
