What Our Supporters Say
​Peter Sterios
Founder of LEVITYoGA
Award Winning Author of Gravity & Grace
“Both my wife Tawny and I are international teachers and when we moved to New Zealand, we immediately fell in love with the beauty and graciousness we found at Koru Centre. Their studio we teach our classes in is beautifully designed with a large collection of props and necessary accessories for yoga, and other types of healing movement practices. We couldn’t be happier with this wonderful light-filled space that our students love as well. Why? It’s friendly, warm, clean, quiet, and conveniently located in Central Nelson, with ample municipal carparks nearby. We highly recommend Koru and its lovely owner Omana.”

“I experienced the Koru Centre as an oasis, right in
the heart of Nelson. I enjoyed a beautiful energy of
the place, which is created through the lay-out of the rooms, the decorative details as well as Omana’s apparent joy in hosting. My weekend workshop had 20 participants and the room was spacious enough for that. I can highly recommend Koru Centre.”
Rose Middleton
UNITY YOGA, MN, E-RYT200, REP
“I was fortunate enough to discover the Koru Studio in early 2022. Since then, I have had the joy of teaching yoga in this light, airy and beautifully cared for space. Thank you Omana for the care and consideration that you show not only to the physical space and equipment you provide, but also to myself and my students who love the studio. Your responsiveness to queries and suggestions is greatly appreciated.”

“I feel so lucky to be working at Koru! It is beautifully located, nestled upstairs in central Trafalgar Street and is both discrete and welcoming. Every comfort is taken care of and Omana’s lovely decorating style lends itself to sensual stimulation and restfulness at once. During sessions, the client’s eye can rest on a lovely object, plant or the view whilst engaged in a
moment of reflection and be comforted by the fresh
air and sunshine when dealing with a moment of
upset or challenge. Overall the space feels harmonious and with a certain depth due to the variety of practitioners and the energies and consciousness generated by themselves and each of their unique practices. I feel valued there as a practitioner and supported to do what I love best.”
Jen Holmes-Beamer
Certified Nonviolent Communication Trainer
“Koru is a safe haven of comfort for those I work
with, women who have experienced sexual violence
and abuse, to feel cocooned and embraced. The
space is warm, quiet, comfortably consistent and
inviting which caters to the needs of those I work
with offering them opportunity to explore
movement and embodiment in a way that feels
safely held and in which sensitivity is celebrated.”
Andrew Perzigian
Member of the New Zealand Registry of
Acupuncturists and ACC Accredited
“Koru Centre is a wonderful place to base one's
practice. The space is well appointed, light, bright
and brimming with energy. The common areas
often find patients, clients and customers chatting
and engaged as they await their appointments or
classes and once they've begun, the treatment
rooms and yoga space provide noticeable peace,
quiet and privacy. As a practitioner of Traditional
Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, I couldn't be
happier to call Koru Centre home! ”
