If you are on our newsletter list, you might have already seen we are opening this program during the school holidays for youth in our community.

I often get invited to teach yoga foundations at high-schools in New Plymouth and very often I hear the conversion that yoga was not what they expected.

Teens have shared they had an idea that yoga was complicated, that you are meant to be flexible to do it.
And the truth is, teens are going through so many changes and are involved in sports with high physical demand. Flexibility is not the prerequisite nor the goal.

I have used yoga to help them understand breathing and relaxation. Yoga can be excellent for their warm up practices and recovery time during sports.

If you are interested to enroll your teen or come along with them, we have 4 sessions available.
Feel free to contact us for any questions too!

Our next Yoga for Beginners Course starts September 10th for 4 weeks every Thursday at 5:30pm.

Each time I teach this course, it feels quite unique to any other group. And i think this is because of the people that are in that group. Each person brings their own intention and wisdom as why they wish to use Yoga as a way of wellbeing.
Most common things I hear are:
I want to feel good in my body as I grow older.
I wish to sleep better.
I have a sore back.
I can't run anymore, so this is an alternative exercise option.
My mental health needs this.
My wife recommended it.

So yeah, all these bring a flavour to the sauce and we start unpacking incredible conversions about movement, breath, relaxation, mind-body connection.

If I would chose my favorite thing in teaching Yoga, I would chose Beginner courses. I love these spaces.

Book on time before we close this next group :) ⛷️

Starting Thursday 10th September | 5:30–6:45 pm
Duration of Course: 4 Weeks each Thursday

✔️Have you ever walked into a yoga class and felt a little unsure?
✔️What if you could have the space and time to breakdown the practice?
✔️Wanted to have guidance on how to adapt the practice for your own body?

This four-week beginner course has been created for exactly that.

Together we'll slow things down and explore the foundations of yoga in a relaxed, supportive environment. We'll unpack movement, breath, simple postures, and the principles that help you feel more comfortable and confident in any yoga class. There will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and learning at your own pace.

Whether you're completely new to yoga or you'd simply like to revisit the basics with fresh understanding, this course is for you.

If you'd like to join, register with us.

There is something so special about watching a group of people come together with curiosity, kindness, and a genuine desire to understand the body more deeply.

Our April BodyWise training was exactly that, and I'm so excited to be opening one final cohort for this year, beginning 23 October.

BodyWise isn't about learning another technique. It's about developing a different way of seeing and listening to the body.

Together we'll explore:
✨ The medicine of gentleness
✨ Embodied practices
✨ The landscape of the nervous system
✨ Somatic imagery and sensory language
✨ Practical tools you can weave into your own life or your work with others

If you'd love to immerse yourself in a supportive learning environment, we also have accommodation available here at Sanctuary Hill, so you can stay on-site and be part of the experience.

🌿 Early Bird registrations close 31 August. ⬅️⬅️

I can't wait to welcome another beautiful group and see what unfolds together.

If you've been feeling the pull, this might be your time. 💛
