Gentle Calming Yoga in Augusta
Self-Care Sundays are a regular 90-minute in-person yoga class, held every second Sunday in Augusta, created for those who value time to slow down, unwind, and take care of themselves.
This is a supportive space to move gently, breathe deeply, and settle your nervous system — so you leave feeling more at ease in your body and calmer in your mind.
What if a supportive style of yoga could help you move more comfortably, improve your balance and mobility, and feel calmer in your body?
These Chair Yoga classes use simple movements, breathing, and relaxation practices with the support of a chair — perfect for beginners, older adults, or anyone wanting a gentler way to stretch, strengthen, and reconnect with themselves.
"Just wanted to tell you how much yoga helped. I think the part about muscle relaxing was very effective. "
-Paula V
"Thank you for your wonderful yoga classes. I have got so much out of them and you have renewed my enthusiasm for yoga and its benefits."
-Sandy
"I have been lucky enough to have experienced yoga teaching from Maz. I found her classes to be the perfect balance of gentle yet strong, calming yet energising, and fun yet focused. Maz is very warm and welcoming, considers each individual’s capacity, and clearly loves all that yoga is about. Highly recommended!"
-Marie
"Maz is a great teacher! Just had a class with her and I felt so much better afterwards. Learning about how to work with my tightness."
-Paula V
"The class has been so much more than I ever expected! I have been thoroughly enjoying it and your calm, gentle, experienced and non judgemental teachings have been absolutely wonderful. The biggest thing I have gained from this though is I have my sleep back! I have suffered from lack of sleep for most of my adult life with some periods being particularly bad, which is what I was going through when I started the class. I have tried all sorts of things, and had basically just decided that it was what it was and to just enjoy the couple of times a week I actually did have a good night sleep. For the past two weeks, my sleep has completely turned around and I am getting more good night's sleep a week than bad! The only thing I can put this down to is Yoga with you, Maz, as that is the only thing that has changed. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me the tools to combat my anxiety, teaching me breathing techniques and giving me my sleep back. "
-Kathy
"Your class was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it so beneficial in so many ways. I have just registered for next Tuesday chair yoga and have also purchased 5 classes as intend to make this a regular practice."

"Dear Mary, I've been attending your yoga classes a while, and always leave feelilng calm and relaxed. I started when you spoke about gratitude and this is an intention I focus on more since your classes. You have such a lovely way and provide clear instructions for each of the yoga poses, you have such a calm manner and beautiful music. Thank you so much for the yoga classes you provide. "
-Elizabeth
"Thank you for such a lovely class yesterday, really loved it and so nice having tea afterwards and chatting to everyone, such a great community you've made."
-Meg
"Last night I lay in bed at 3am, mind racing and couldn't get to sleep. I thought about the breath work you talk about and tried it, it worked and I fell asleep! Thank you x"
-Nicky
"I just wanted to say a big thank you for today’s Yoga class. It was great fun and I will be back. Friends have mentioned how happy & healthy I look. I feel great and have found something new I want to do."
-Marit
"Mary has helped my husband immensely, he would never have done yoga without Mary's guidance, I also joined in to encourage him and am finding it so beneficial. Mary has porgrammed our yoga sesisons around my husband's long-standing back injury and he is moving better and is definitely more flexible. We cannot thank Mary enough for the effort she puts in with specifically targetting our areas of need. "
-Nerilee
"Just wanted to let you know that youre such a great yoga instructor! I particularly liked that you put me at ease by saying that we shouldnt be comparing ourselves to others and should only do what we're comfortable with. This really helped, because I was a bit scared about whether Id be able to do things. And your instruction on each movement of each exercise was great. Thanks so much! I felt so calm on the way home, which is a rare feeling. "
-Shannon
"Can recommend first class Yoga."

ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Mary (Maz). I teach yoga in the Augusta - Karridale area, and online — to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more aware of your body.
My classes focus on breathing, body awareness, and safe, accessible movement to reduce stress and help prevent injury. They’re beginner–intermediate level, trauma-informed, and taught in simple, friendly language, with plenty of options for your body.
If you’re feeling stressed, tense, or unsure how to move safely, this approach helps you calm your nervous system and rebuild confidence in your body.
If you're local, or visiting the area, I’d love to see you in a class. Or sign up above to get monthly yoga-based tools, info on upcoming events, plus my bonus FREE 6 Simple Tools to Feel Calmer, to use straight away.
