Yoga and meditation on the Knysna lagoon
Small classes in a sunlit studio overlooking the lagoon, for complete beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.
Yoga and meditation studio
No mirrors, no competition and no need to touch your toes. Our classes are kept to fourteen people so every teacher can offer hands-on guidance, and props are always welcome. Whether you want to move, rest or learn to sit still for ten minutes, there is a class on the timetable for you.

About
Nadine Olivier moved to Knysna from Johannesburg in 2015 after a decade in advertising and a long burnout. Yoga helped her find her feet again, and she trained as a teacher so she could share it.
Still Waters opened in 2018 in an old boathouse on Thesen Island. We now have four teachers, a timetable of more than twenty classes a week and a community that meets for sunrise sessions on the jetty in summer.
Your practice is yours. Rest whenever you need to, without apology.
Fourteen mats at most, so every student is seen and helped.
The lagoon, the forest and the seasons shape how we practise.
