Wake up to daily morning yoga in the large open plan living with the sounds of birds and nature outside. With an expansive sun-soaked sheltered courtyard and large open decks, there are plenty of quiet spaces to chill and relax during the breaks.
Our yogi house is only 10 – 15 mins away from the Taupo town centre. Linen and towels are supplied with laundry facilities. Unlimited wifi included.
Vegetarian Meals
This New Zealand Yoga Teacher Training in Lake Taupo offers a unique, vegetarian self-catering experience that encourages community, creativity, and culinary exploration. Students are responsible for purchasing their own food and have the flexibility to prepare meals either on their own or collaboratively with others.
To foster connection and help everyone settle in, we kick off the training with group dinners for the first two nights. This is a chance for everyone to come together, relax, and start building friendships.
Breakfasts and lunches are usually prepared individually, while dinners become a fun, shared experience, with students volunteering in pairs or small groups to cook for everyone.
This approach creates an enjoyable, educational atmosphere where you can learn from one another, try new recipes, and discover delicious flavors from around the world.
We are mindful of dietary needs and preferences, working together to create nourishing meals that everyone can enjoy.
For added convenience, Taupo town is just a 10-minute drive away. It’s home to supermarkets, health food stores, cafes, and restaurants where you can stock up on essentials or grab lunch. Students typically budget around NZ$150-$200 for food during the three-week training, making it an affordable and enjoyable part of the journey.
About Lake Taupo
Nestled in New Zealand’s central volcanic plateau, Lake Taupo is the largest freshwater lake in Australasia. This stunning expanse of aquamarine and jade waters is crystal-clear, reaching depths of 13 meters. The lake boasts one of the world’s premier wild trout fisheries, along with diverse wildlife, including over 30 species of water birds and native crayfish.
Taupo is a hub of extraordinary natural beauty, featuring sparkling lakes, trout-filled rivers, ancient forests, geothermal zones, and snow-capped mountains. Visitors can enjoy swimming, kayaking, fishing, and dining at lakeside restaurants. Outdoor enthusiasts will find national parks, hot springs, and adventure activities such as white-water rafting, skydiving, and bungee jumping.
Taupo is centrally located in the middle of the North Island of New Zealand, about 3 ½ hours’ drive from Auckland and 4 ½ hours’ drive from Wellington. Daily buses are available from most towns in New Zealand or you could opt to fly to Taupo Airport from Auckland or Wellington. We can pick you up from the Taupo bus stop or Airport.
