Bhakti Lounge
Everyone is welcome at Bhakti Lounge, a unique place to revive your body, mind and consciousness from the demands of urban life. Here, in the warm and vibrant atmosphere, you can enjoy yoga and delicious vegetarian food, or if you’re more interested in musing upon the deepest mysteries of existence there’s plenty of scope with our weekly workshops, kirtans and festivals!
No matter what you come for you’ll leave feeling amazing, especially after one of our yummy meals, which follow all events. The food we serve is made with oodles of love and energy. It’s creative, full of variety, vegetarian (options for vegan and gluten free almost always available), and needless to say a fiesta for the taste-buds!
We also provide private catering, affordable lunches at Victoria University, city escape weekends, and working bees at our serene nature retreat in Otaki. Bhakti Lounge is run entirely on volunteer energy and is a non-profit charitable organisation; existing simply to create an environment whereby the sweetness of bhakti and the yoga culture can be experienced by all. Come soak it up!
The Enlightened Kitchen
Wholegrains, fresh veggies, sauces, spices and love all mingled together to create taste bursting joy that will enrich your life. All the food we prepare and share is based on an ahimsa (sanskrit for non-violent) diet. Basically that means it’s all vegetarian, and we don’t use any commercial dairy products. All dairy we use is organic and comes from cows who are loved, looked after and milked within our rural communities. Our beautiful cows and their calves will live full happy lives and never be sold for their meat. We make sure all ingredients we use are GMO-free, and we are also gradually expanding our gardens in Otaki to provide as much homegrown organic veggies as we can! Conscious and compassionate growing, cooking and eating will spark a revolution in your health, reignite your soul and is hugely beneficial for the environment. Never underestimate the power of your plate.
