Feeling refreshed, restored, and with a deeper sense of self-awareness.

Rebecca James Yoga is a welcoming and inclusive yoga studio located in Alresford, New Zealand. Led by experienced instructor Rebecca James, the studio offers a variety of yoga classes, yoga therapy sessions, and retreats for individuals of all ages and abilities.

At Rebecca James Yoga, the focus is on building self-awareness through movement, breath practises, relaxation, and meditation. The transformative power of yoga is harnessed to help individuals feel good in their bodies, calm their minds, and unlock a sense of joy that can be accessed no matter the challenges faced in life.

For those seeking a more personalised approach, Rebecca offers 1-1 private sessions and yoga therapy. These sessions can take place at her studio, on zoom, or in the comfort of your own home. Private sessions allow individuals to go at their own pace, address specific physical, mental, or emotional conditions, and ask questions freely during the session.

Yoga therapy, which incorporates elements of yoga philosophy, yoga asana (movement), pranayama (breathwork), mindfulness, and relaxation techniques, can help with a wide range of mental and physical health conditions. From stress, depression, and anxiety to back pain, musculoskeletal problems, and even chronic illnesses like diabetes and cancer, yoga therapy is a holistic approach to healing and well-being.

Rebecca James is a trained yoga therapist with qualifications from the highly respected Minded Institute in London. With her expertise, she also offers pregnancy, post-natal, and mum&baby private tuition to support mothers in their journey to stay happy, healthy, and provide their little ones with the best start in life.

In group classes, Rebecca combines Hatha yoga, Slow and Gentle Flow, and Subtle Yoga inspired practises. These breath-centred classes focus on graceful movement between poses to release energy and tension in the bodymind. Alignment and the balance of effort and ease in asana are explored, while each class concludes with a guided relaxation session.

Rebecca's classes are open to all ages and abilities, with modifications provided to suit individual needs. Whether you are a beginner or have been practising for years, Rebecca's classes are designed to support growth and progress at your own pace. As the saying goes, “If you can breathe, you can practise yoga.
