Yoga with Martina Götz

Martina has practised and taught yoga for many years. Her accessible approach supports and encourages students to find their own innate wisdom within.                                                                                                                                        “The teacher only exists to prepare the student so that the steady light of the student’s                      own wisdom will illuminate his own path.”  -Sundernāth (Shandor Remete)

She teaches regular weekly public yoga classes, at Contemporary Yoga Centre, a tranquil yogi cave in the heart of Remuera Village, Auckland, New Zealand. She also offers private yoga tuition and hosts workshops.
