Awakening from the Inside Out
My personal journey in yoga has taken me into practices of Iyengar, Hatha & Ashtanga yoga, to teaching both Hatha and Ashtanga, and eventually into chronic exhaustion. At a point in my life, I needed to let go of some of the structures of yoga I believed would get me somewhere and weave in something intuitive; reflective of meeting my own internal state, of using movement and form as a way of meeting my inner feelings and sensations deepening my self awareness, my ability to be in presence with life, and a way of honoring my own body as it is in each moment.
This has become a devotional self practice to life.
My intention is to teach with the invitation to bring presence and connection to being in your body and connection to your inner wisdom. I am a trauma informed Somatic Therapy Practitioner and I guide my classes with an emphasis on nervous system regulation, having choice and permission to be as you are.
Weekly Community practice spaces
Nurture Your Mind, Body, Soul with community
I teach weekly classes in both Thames and Waihi.
I offer these both as spaces to learn the pathways of yoga through asana, pranayama and meditation but also spaces to practice somatic awareness, listening to your own bodies wisdom, remembering and re connecting to your own intuition.
Both classes are 75mins, open to beginners and those who have a steady practice.
Class price is $20 or $15 koha if needed.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns about joining the weekly classes.

CAPS TITLE
private somatic yoga, breathwork and embodied movement sessions
Private Session work is an opportunity for you and I to co-create a practice of yoga, breath & movement and intention to deepen your connection to your life, to your body and what is needed at this time in your healing journey.
These sessions are tailored to the needs of your body, mind, spirit and your personal intention and are perfect for those working with injuries or trauma who would like the extra support and care.
These sessions will be magical for you if...
You want a tailor made experience just for you.
You have an injury/pain that you would like to work with
(I recommend working with me along side a physio or osteopath)
You have trauma that you want to explore through somatic movement, breath and sound.
You would feel safer beginning or restarting your yoga journey in a 1:1 environment.
There is no blueprint until we meet and we will begin where you are, meaning you do not need to have any previous experience.
I offer a free 20-30 minute call to begin to understand what it is you require and then the rest will unfold, either in person or online.
