The Haum of Yoga was founded by Kerry Weavind in 2002.

The Haum of Yoga has been a journey of discovery and learning on the job for me, with many false starts, shattered hopes, and inspired moments. It has always been a huge concept in a small location, and we will be proud to launch the rest of what is The Haum of Yoga in 2009, so far has only been the beginning.

The Haum of Yoga Fourways is designed as a one-stop relax and rejuvenation retreat that is close to your haum, set in an ambient setting in a very quiet neighborhood. The best garden in Joburg, as you step into our center, you feel like you are suddenly transported out of town. It is an opportunity to get out of commercial living and into Being, if just for a short time.

The Haum of Yoga Fourways includes:

• The Yoga - local and international teachers, workshops, retreats - infusion of knowledge from everywhere
• The Shop - clothes, books, and what you might need for yoga, without becoming a consumerist temptation as yoga is about withdrawing from these kinds of distractions and not over-consuming.
• The Shala - B&B type accomodation for yogi's, wanna-be yogi's, business folk, and friends
• A beautician and a therapist!

The Haum of Yoga offers not only a complete schedule of yoga classes to fit into almost anyone’s schedule, but also healing rooms offering massage, energetic techniques of healing, and beautician related services.

Kerry has created a Tea Room (Haum Brew) that is a very informal place of community - for mothers waiting while their children are in Kiddies Yoga, or for yogi’s to enjoy the company of like-minded people before or after a class. The Shop provides access to highly recommended yoga books and other products to take your yoga haum.

The Yoga:

The Haum of Yoga offers many different styles of yoga with different teachers so the individual can explore the possibilities and find their own style. The schedule is diverse to ensure classes fit into most anyone’s lifestyle.

We offer Sivananda Style yoga and Ashtanga vinyasa yoga. We are the only studio that focuses on ashtanga vinyasa yoga and the many elements relating to it other than taught classes: like offering intensives of daily self practice, to learn how it is taught in India which is Mysore style yoga, as well as workshops and international visiting teachers to take the yoga student deeper.

Each teacher brings with them a background of their personal history and experience and passion and so students have a chance to explore yoga through many different experiences!

The Yoga Shop

The shop is stocked with anything and everything YOGA. Clothing for men and women in various brand labels, including for men our own Jai Lila rami cotton pants, biodegradable sticky mats, yoga mat bags, CDs and DVDs, books, deities, and more. And we are willing to source what you need.

The Shala

This concept evolved through what we noticed just was. Yogi’s traveling into South Africa from all over the world found us, and found it a treat to get out of hotels and into a like-minded, down-to-earth, soulful environment. In addition, through organizing international visiting yoga teachers, and offering them a place to stay, created a real sense of spiritual village.
