Yippie Yopi Yoga Studio

Our reason for being is to help you leave class feeling better than when you arrived. We’ve got soul.

Yippie Yopi is welcoming and fun, it feels good to be here as the people and the studio exert warmth and feeling. We teach with soul, we interact with soul and we empower our people to let their true soul shine through.

Kia ora Yippie Yopi whānau,

I’m Bob (Jon Newbery), and I’m really excited to introduce myself as one of the new owners of Yippie Yopi. It’s an honour to be stepping into a space that already holds so much heart, connection, and positive energy.

A bit about me — I’ve spent the past several years working as a graphic designer and installer, mostly in the signage and media world. It’s creative, fast-paced work that’s taught me a lot about people, problem-solving, and bringing ideas to life. But over the last year, my life started shifting toward something deeper — a more holistic, mindful way of living that’s brought me back to what really matters.

When the opportunity came to be part of Yippie Yopi’s journey, it felt like the perfect alignment. Alongside my amazing business partner Alison, I’m here to help nurture what’s already thriving in this beautiful community and support the studio’s continued growth — gently, mindfully, and with a lot of heart.

We’re not here to make sweeping changes. Our intention is to honour the incredible foundation that’s already been built, and to ensure Yippie Yopi remains a space where everyone feels safe, supported, and inspired.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you all, hearing your stories, and growing alongside this amazing community.

Ngā mihi nui,

Bob

Every wondered where to park?

While we have limited parking in front of the studio (just 5 spaces) there are plenty of on street parking options, and you are welcome to park around the side of the building by the Armourguard roller door (reminder that during business hours we can’t park in front of the Business lab but can after 5pm!) However, with increasing numbers we are aware of the need for parking. After speaking with our across the road neighbours, they are generously allowing our members to park in their carports and in front of their buildings! So if you come in to an evening class after 5pm and are struggling to find a spot, know that you can park in these spaces on the road and in front of the businesses – provided the roller doors are kept clear!

We also have a bike rack out front for those warmer and dryer days if you wish to cycle to and from the studio 😊

Do you have a regular hot yoga practice? Do you wish to deepen your understanding of each of the postures, learn the correct alignment and figure out how your body best can get in and out of each shape?

Then sign up for our Posture Mechanics workshop with Renee!

We’re keeping the group small, so this gives you plenty of focused attention, the workshop will cover all 26 postures over the course of 3 hours, then, should you choose you can stay for the 4pm class and put your knew knowledge into real time practice.

You must have a regular practice, but any level is welcome.

Book through Mindbody - if you miss out on this one please let us know as we can run more of these if the demand is there. Cost is $65 or $60 if on any unlimited pass.

Any further questions send us a DM or email Renee at:
