"I love the sessions with Mariko."

Having been in both the community classes and her studio classes, I can say that she is fantastic. Really meets you wherever you are and safely allows you to be you however you turn up to move.

“My yoga practice with Mariko deeply impacted my sense of wellbeing.”

Mariko demonstrates warmth, compassion and vulnerability in her classes. In Mariko's presence, I learnt to slow down, to listen more fully to my body and open up in new ways. I loved the environment she created, in which I felt safe and willing to be curious and push myself.

“Mariko is such a lovely, warm and kind person, and a great yoga teacher.”

I have been to a number of different classes before but enjoy Mariko's classes more than any others. She is so welcoming and takes the time to teach you the techniques and the reasons why. Highly recommend joining her classes if you want to start yoga, or if you are an experienced yogi - she will make you feel at home.

“Warm and welcoming”

Mariko is always genuinely happy to see her students (new and old). She offers plenty of modifications for each pose and flow, and emphasises the importance of listening to your body to get the most out of your practice. Her classes are a highlight of my week.

“Perfect balance between flow & meditation”

I have been to a bunch of classes in Wellington and Mariko's are my favourite! She is a lovely and accommodating teacher and her classes are varied and affordable. So grateful to have found them - Arigato gozaimasu!

“My series of three private lessons with Mariko have been life changing.”

Sometimes we forget how essential it is, to simply breathe, stretch and let go. Mariko designed a programme especially suited to my needs. It is easy to follow, addresses areas that need attention, and leaves me with a deep sense of wellbeing. I am extremely grateful to Mariko to have my confidence restored and to feel significantly younger in body and spirit. I have loved working with such a caring, intuitive, and knowledgeable yoga teacher; her gentle, patient, interactive yet professional approach is the best. Mariko is unique among yoga teachers, and I am delighted to have found her.

“Most of all, we felt our stress being relieved which gave us a good night's sleep afterwards.”

Mariko's soothing voice and relaxed guidance made us comfortable and at ease. We felt a good sense of focus and presence in every class. We were always looking forward to our Monday night yoga.
