Yoga Phala

Welcome to Yoga Phala, an intimate yoga studio located in the serene Oratia area of West Auckland, where the art of Iyengar Yoga is brought to life. Our studio is designed to provide a nurturing environment, focusing on precision and alignment within each pose (asana), rooted in the esteemed teachings of BKS Iyengar, the founder of this yoga discipline.

At Yoga Phala, we believe in the power of personalized instruction. Our classes are kept small—capped at just 8 students—ensuring that each participant receives tailored guidance suited to their unique level of experience and ability. This intimate setting fosters a strong community atmosphere, offering support and encouragement among peers.

Our owner and instructor, Kathleen Powell, is a Level 3 certified Iyengar yoga practitioner with over 26 years of experience. With a deep understanding of the practice, Kathleen has been sharing her knowledge since 2007 and opened Yoga Phala in February 2019. Her dedicated teaching approach aims to cultivate awareness and enhance the benefits of yoga for each individual.

Yoga Phala integrates simple props—such as blocks, belts, and bolsters—aimed at improving body awareness and maximizing each student's experience. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, these tools provide the necessary support for less flexible individuals, while also allowing advanced practitioners to deepen their poses.

Experience the numerous rewards of regular yoga practice, including enhanced stamina, strength, flexibility, and focus, as well as improved joint mobility and posture. Our schedule offers a variety of class options with sessions designed to fit various experience levels, from beginners to advanced yogis.

Join us at Yoga Phala, where you can not only practice yoga but also feel better. Connect with us and immerse yourself in a transformative journey toward improved health and well-being!
