Late night stillness in Auckland
Late night stillness gathers slow, restoring classes in Auckland that begin after eight in the evening. The practice leans on yin, with long holds, props and quiet pacing, and a number of sessions add gong and singing bowls. The classes are a good fit for the end of a working day, when the body needs to settle rather than push.

What the evening practice looks like
Most of what you will find here is yin, practiced with long holds and plenty of support from props, so the body can release without effort. Restore and calm are the feelings that come up most often, and a handful of classes also work with sleep and release. Sound appears in a smaller share of the sessions, usually as gong or singing bowls layered over the practice.
The classes are concentrated in the evening. Almost all of them start at 8pm, and most run about an hour, with some stretching a little longer. Tuesday, Thursday and Monday are the days when the most classes take place.
Where and with whom to practice
HUM Yoga in Grey Lynn offers the most classes in this collection, with several Candlelight Yin and sound bath sessions on the timetable. OM yoga studio in Stonefields is the other place where the evening classes gather. Across both, a small group of facilitators leads most of the sessions, including Esmeralda Tikao, Rodolfo Villanueva, Fiona Liu, Joana Kuersten and Maryam Al-Roubaiai.
If you are new to this kind of practice, start with a yin class at either studio. The pace is steady and the props do much of the work, which makes the first evening easier to settle into.
