Bikes & Bends is a social enterprise, helping people unplug and connect with their true nature through Yoga, Meditation, Corporate Wellness & Retreats
Founded by a yogi + bike enthusiast, we deliver wellness like the postman delivers mail. Look out for our bikes around town and get in touch if you’d like us to come to you.
Our mission is to share smiles and deliver light hearted classes, suitable for everyone! We bring an element of fun to the mat and encourage people to laugh, play and enjoy the practice.
Yo is our way of saying hello, and also stands for Yoga Outdoors reflecting the fun nature of the classes we offer. Experience a community focused yoga and meditation class on the viewing deck of the ANZ Viaduct Events Centre, Wynyard Quarter.
HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
These community focused classes bring everyone together and provide you with a way to unplug and connect with your true nature in a beautiful environment. It’s an experience that can’t be found anywhere else in Auckland, allowing you to practice your downward dog outside, breathing in the fresh sea air, while enjoying the views of the city.
