Welcome to Stretchy

We’re an Auckland-based yoga community of casual practice, coffee and chats. 

We’re here for the brave (those looking to embrace new people, practices & ideas), and those who crave (those seeking connection to themselves and others).

Led by a different teacher each week, we offer the chance to experience a variety of yoga styles & practices. Always with an element of social and personal connection at the heart of it. Then we head to a cafe or bar for social stretching.

From beginners to yoga teachers, all ages, every body welcome. Always.

  • "My partner and I had moved to Tāmaki Makaurau in April, and I was looking for fun things to do where I would hopefully meet some like-minded people. Wind forwards 5 months, and Stretchy has become one of my favourite things about living in Tāmaki Makaurau."

    Sarah, 30s, UK | Stretchy-goer of Weds PM | Since May ‘25

  • "There's always a friendly face, whether it's Kimberley welcoming you at the door or someone you met in a previous class. The classes are always varied, as are the conversations that follow after."

    Sarah, 40, NZ | Stretchy-goer of Weds PM & Fri AM | Since Nov ‘ 24

  • "I’ve really enjoyed being part of the Stretchy community. The variety of teachers and styles is awesome, and I’ve met so many kind and interesting people."

    Steph, 37, NZ | Stretchy-goer of Fri AM | intermediate (but intermittent) yogi since Jan ‘25

  • "Stretchy is a weekly highlight starting with friendly greetings from fellow yogis, varied yoga practices with different instructors and the warm banter over coffee at the local café. A great community with people from all walks of life open to chatting and making new connections."

    Patsy, 68 of NZ | Stretchy-goer of Thurs & Fri AM | Since Nov ‘ 24

  • "I am 56 and much older than most of the people in the class but everyone who attends is super friendly, relaxed and non judgmental. 

I find it a super safe and friendly place to practice and so different to places I have practiced before where people can be a bit egotistical about their ability. I leave the class on a Friday feeling really good - in my body and in my heart. Stretchy feels like how yoga should be practiced."

    Kate, 56, NZ | Stretchy-goer of Fri AM | Since June ‘25

  • "I’m so glad I found Stretchy, there is so much to love! I love that there’s no pressure or commitment to a membership...but mostly I love the social side of the classes - the post class coffee and natter!"

    Feona, 51 | Stretchy-goer of Fri AM | Since April ‘25

FAQs

  • You never need to be able to! We’re an accessible, all-level yoga offering. We cater for all abilities from first timers, through to every day yogis. With the teacher on the day able to offer up modifications for your needs.

    And when in doubt - just bend your knees and see how much closer your toes are then!

  • Our meetups are equal parts yoga & socialising. We’re here to build a welcoming and inclusive community of new and old friends. Yoga is our equaliser & ice breaker. Each practice is an invitation to try something new together, kicking off friendly banter as we head to our favourite local cafes & bars.

  • Yourself, a yoga mat, $$$ for drinks & food if wanted, good vibes and a stretchy mindset.

  • Yes! We’re here to help you meet or re-meet new mates. Whether you’re an Auckland newbie, ready to expand beyond your social circles, looking for a date or want to bring all your mates, we gently nudge you to say “Kia ora” to someone new each session.

  • Kimberley Torrie is our founder and resident Stretchy organiser. Loving what the run clubs have done to equalise and socialise running, she thought it was about time for a yoga community to do the same. Kimberley gained her 200YTT through Inspire Yoga Teacher Training in 2025 and is now a regular on the Stretchy schedule.

    We then have a wide web of wonderful Yoga Teaching friends who join us each week to lead the practice. Hailing from all over the world, no two teachers or practices are ever the same. 

    Look out for Kimberley at your first Stretchy meetup - she’ll make sure you’re sorted & feeling comfy.

  • Absolutely! If you’re a yoga teacher looking to lead a (paid) session, get in touch kimberley@stretchyyoga.co.nz

  • If you’re keen on leading a Stretchy community in your area, get in touch. We’re always open to expanding Stretchy across NZ and Australia, so if you’ve got the vibes & energy to help foster & lead a community, let’s chat.

  • Sharing the love before and after the practice is very much appreciated! As a word-of-mouth community we adore a shoutout @stretchy.yoga and  to the teachers.

    However a wee reminder to be mindful of taking photos & videos during. We love to see Stretchy shared but first and foremost it’s about everyone being in their respective  moments mindfully. Our Stretchy co-ordinators subtly & respectfully capture content during the practice but respectfully try to avoid recognisable faces, “interesting” poses and those moments of pure introspection.

    If you’re not keen to be featured on Stretchy’s social or in any marketing material let us know at the meetup or via kimberley@stretchyyoga.co.nz
