The Space - Whangarei

13/04/2026

Our retreat combines the power of breathwork, Vinyasa flow, Yin yoga, and the restorative effects of sauna and cold plunge. Every session is thoughtfully designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit, bringing you a sense of grounding, release, and renewal.

What to Expect:

Breathwork & Meditation: We begin with guided breathwork and meditation, helping you calm the mind and focus on the present moment.

Vinyasa Flow: A dynamic and energizing practice that connects movement with breath, designed to build strength, flexibility, and balance.

Yin Yoga: A slower, more passive practice focused on deep stretching and releasing stored tension, promoting long-lasting relaxation.

Sauna & Cold Plunge: After your yoga practice, unwind and detoxify in the sauna, followed by an invigorating cold plunge to refresh and energize your body.

Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, build strength, or simply reconnect with nature, this retreat offers a peaceful space to heal and recharge. Each month, we create a welcoming, intimate environment where you can explore these practices at your own pace, guided by expert instructors and the healing forces of nature.

Note* These retreats can last for up to 3.5 hours, so please plan accordingly.

Head over to our website to book, offered at the end of each month

The Yurt Sound Bath

A monthly sound healing session at The Space

Step into the warmth of our yurt and settle in for an immersive sound bath experience. Lying comfortably beneath soft lighting, you’ll be surrounded by layered sound frequencies designed to help the body soften, the mind quieten, and the nervous system deeply relax.

It’s effortless, restorative, and unlike anything in everyday life. Each session is intuitively led by Alexandra and completely unique, using frequencies designed to:
• slow your brainwaves into deep calm
• activate your “rest & digest” state
• release tension held in the body
• support emotional reset and clarity

Even if you’re unsure, this is one of the easiest ways to experience real deep rest—just lie down and let the sound do the work.
If you struggle to switch off, this might be the first time you actually do.

Bring: mat, pillow, blanket—anything to feel comfortable and cozy
Enhance it: pair with a sauna for the ultimate nervous system reset
Limited spaces

Last Friday of every month

Why sound healing?
Sound works directly with your nervous system. The frequencies help shift your brain into slower states (like meditation or sleep), while the vibrations can ease physical tension and promote a sense of balance throughout the body.

Most people leave feeling grounded, lighter, and deeply restored

Book via our website now to secure your spot. Koha/Donation cash on the day.

It was a real Twilight vibe this morning — misty, moody, slightly dramatic… and still the perfect setting for another epic event with the legends at FAT and TMC.

We genuinely love hosting these sessions, but even more than that, we love how the community shows up every single time — good energy, good people, all centred around wellness.
Wellness matters — it’s the reason we do what we love, and why we’re so passionate about making it accessible for everyone to experience

Huge shoutout to the sponsors who back these events — we appreciate you, and we definitely couldn’t do it without you.

Already counting down to the next ones…
May 2nd & May 16th — lock it in your calendar.

Rainy days at the space always hit different, the sauna feels cozy and well your already wet so the cold plunge isnt so bad...

We’re open rain or shine, and that’s exactly why we built this outdoors. So the weather, the elements, and nature are all part of your session

Also, free shower on arrival 💁‍♀️

Here’s the real reason behind the recent shift toward sauna use—it’s not just a trend, it’s a mix of science, lifestyle, and culture all lining up at once:

1. Recovery is finally getting the same respect as training

The fitness world has shifted from “more is better” → recover better to perform better
Research now shows recovery directly impacts:
* Performance
* Injury risk
* Longevity in training
Sauna + cold exposure fits perfectly into this recovery-first mindset

2. Science + podcasts
People like Andrew Huberman and others have brought actual research into everyday conversations
Concepts like:
* Heat exposure
* Nervous system regulation
* Longevity
are now understood by normal people, not just scientists
Sauna went from “spa luxury” → evidence-based tool

3. People are craving offline, real experiences
Sauna creates something rare now:
*No phones
*No distractions
Just people + presence
It’s become a social + grounding ritual, not just health

4. Contrast therapy changed the game
Cold plunges blew up → sauna naturally followed
Together they:
*Boost circulation
*Improve recovery
*Create a feelable, immediate effect

5. Stress is higher than ever
Chronic stress is one of the biggest modern health issues
Sauna helps:
*Lower cortisol
*Activate parasympathetic (rest) state
It’s one of the few tools where people feel calmer immediately

Sauna sits right in the middle of everything people are now prioritising:
Health optimisation
Mental wellbeing
Community
Intentional time out

At The Space, we’ve built a place where wellness, recovery, and community collide. Step in, sweat it out, and feel the shift yourself.

My favorite season here 🍂

17/03/2026

With the expansion we’ve added a few more changing rooms and some extra storage shelves… because apparently “just chuck it anywhere” isn’t a long-term system — especially when everyone arrives well prepared 😅

Don’t worry — the lockers are still there! We’ve just made a bit more room for everything.

Built it, installed it, stood back and said “yep, that’ll do” — and honestly, we’re pretty stoked with how it turned out and a great spot for those rainy or winter days headed this way.

Have a peek next time you’re in 👀

Unboxing something pretty special today...

For our upcoming event at The Space with FAT and TMC on March 28th, we’ve got a Halo Sauna Hat up for grabs for one lucky participant.

To go in the draw, simply purchase a Pilates + Sauna ticket for the event and you’re automatically in.

This hat is seriously next level — the feel and look of it is like nothing we’ve seen before. Designed specifically for sauna use, it helps protect your hair and scalp from the intense heat while allowing you to stay in longer and get more out of your session. Functional, comfortable, and honestly… very cool looking.

A huge thank you to Halo for giving us the chance to pass one of these on to someone in our community.

See you on the 28th 🔥🧖‍♀️
