SkelYoga is a well-regarded yoga studio and women's personal training service in Reading, New Zealand. Founded by Kate, a mother of two, experienced yoga teacher, core specialist, and pelvic floor trainer, SkelYoga offers a holistic approach to women's health and wellness at every stage of life.
Kate's mission is to empower women to feel great in their own bodies, whether they are pregnant, postnatal, going through menopause, or anywhere in between. She believes in blending yoga, core work, and pelvic floor exercises as part of a comprehensive model of care. By integrating these disciplines, Kate aims to optimise women's overall health and well-being.
Yoga is a key component of SkelYoga's offerings. It helps increase strength and flexibility, improves posture and balance, and enhances the mind-body connexion. Kate's classes are known for their friendly and relaxed atmosphere, creating a supportive community environment for women to come together and enhance their wellness.
One of the core focuses of SkelYoga is core and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Kate recognises that 1 in 4 women experience pelvic floor dysfunction, such as leaking, pain, heaviness, constipation, or haemorrhoids. However, she emphasises that these issues are not normal and can be treated and prevented with the right help. Kate offers tailored, person-centred, and holistic lessons designed specifically to address individual symptoms, needs, and goals.
SkelYoga is highly regarded by its clients, with many praising the positive impact the classes have had on their lives. The studio has received excellent feedback on Google Reviews, with one client stating, “I always feel so much better for taking the time for myself (and my daughter also enjoys it). Highly recommend.
In addition to yoga classes, SkelYoga also offers private tuition for both yoga and corrective pre/postpartum exercise. Kate's expertise extends to addressing diastasis recti, a separation of abdominal muscles commonly experienced by new mothers. She offers The Breathe Principle, a 7-step plan that takes a whole-body approach to healing and rehabilitating abdominal separation.
SkelYoga's classes are held throughout the week, catering to various styles from open to slow flow and dynamic flow. Specialised prenatal, postnatal, and kids' yoga classes are also available. Classes can be attended in person or virtually, with options for group sessions or private tuition in the comfort of your own home or workplace.
For expecting mothers, SkelYoga provides pre-natal services that focus on breath, meditation, visualisation techniques, and functional movement to ease pregnancy aches and prepare for childbirth.
