Breathe Be Free

03/09/2026

Do you ever pause and realise how far you’ve come?

2026 is proving to be an incredible year for Breathe Be Free.

When I first returned to New Zealand from India in late 2025 the focus was sharing Yoga and Breathwork. However over the last few months, through personal practice, facilitation and training experience that focus has continued to evolve organically.

Experiencing this process allowed me to realise that I want the people I work with to experience real change.

Sometimes it feels like: The path appears before you, when you allow yourself to step onto it

The recent catalysts for me have been Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy & Trauma Informed breathwork + movement (Yoga)

One of the things I really enjoy about Hakomi is that change happens through collaboration, naturally and without force.

For the past few months I've been offering Embodied Mindfulness coaching sessions incorporating Hakomi Somatics and Trauma-informed breathwork in Queenstown & Glenorchy. - For those outside Otago/NZ these can also be provided online.

Glenorchy in Winter

With each and every breath

The heart quiets and the mind opens

Its been a quietly significant month here at Breathe Be Free

A body and a practice, needs fresh nourishment to facilitate growth,

This month included a 9 day road trip to Taupo to support the bones of my practice: 6 days training in Hakomi Mindfulness based Somatic Psychotherapy.

This was along side completion of the foundational training in Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) the previous weekend.

It would be impossible to overstate how beautiful this combination was, especially the time shared in Taupo and Dunedin with fellow trainees learning together.

if this is of interest, you're welcome to direct message here or via my website to enquire about an introductory session.

In the meantime here are some beautiful shots from the road trip

Perfectionism is holding you back from doing amazing things.

It's been an incredible journey this year hosting Hatha Yoga in Dunedin. Thank you so much to everyone who has joined so far. To those who've missed out there will be more opportunities coming over the next few months.

I'll be taking a break next month while I undertake training in Hakomi mindfulness based somatic psychotherapy, so I can serve in a 1 on 1 capacity more deeply.

But will be back for more monthly yoga offerings in Dunedin from July.

In the meantime you can still try my introductory breathwork offering by commenting "Breathe" below or dropping me a DM

Namaste 🙏

Telling the story can be hard!

We all have stories that shape who we are. I'm starting to share mine because it informs part of what I share in breath and movement.

Last year I left my Job that gave me security and comfort so I could go to India and develop my yoga and meditation practices from source.

This weekend I make my monthly circuit to bring these lessons back to Dunedin once more. This is Hatha Yoga from the source of the mighty Ganga river at the seat of the Himalayas distilled into a format fit for modern life.

On Saturday 10am Warrior Hatha at Ayu this is not your average yoga class. This experience will help you realise yourself, while cultivating energy, focus and balance.

Tickets Here: https://events.humanitix.com/warrior-hatha-may

Also the grounding restorative end of week Friday Hatha (All levels) at The Movement Space offered as a Koha.

A weekend pass is also available for those who want to immerse themselves.

Look forward to seeing you there. Hari Om.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Warrior Hatha! A monthly yogic experience to awaken your inner warrior and leave you energised, focused, and balanced.

The rhythms of nature.

Technology creates a disconnect.

When we pause, we start to remember and start to notice.

Open your eyes, really open them! - Open wide and look around for a moment, feel the skin around your eyeballs stretch.

Look, where we have been, where we are now. Where we are going.

It's ironic, because I'm building a website. It is coming, something simple to connect and unify the thread of practices.

Paths To Freedom, rhythms to flow to, the ones we all follow, whether we realise yet or not.

Let's connect if you'd like to know more.
