Yoga For All Certified Teachers

I teach yoga out of a small home studio in the rural Manawatu. I run regular classes for the locals, private sessions for groups and individuals and I also host on Air B&B and offer yoga to my guests. Small, intimate affordable, rural yoga retreats with unique accommodation (including a gypsy caravan and house bus) can be arranged for groups of up to 8 people. A unique experience if you’re visiting New Zealand.

No Fuss, Judgment -Free, Body Inclusive Yoga – Got a body? You’re Included! Join me for Class!

I hope to continue to inspire others to embrace sitting on the cushion and taking the time for peace. I know from just teaching my spiritual classes that there is a desperate need right now for a calmer way to live in our seemingly chaotic world.

I have had many tragedies in my life, and I know meditation, yoga, and other relaxation techniques continued to help me to heal over the years. I am committed to assisting you in bringing the same transformation into your life so you may experience a steady calm and sense of peace.

My classes are alignment based, body-positive, and light on philosophy. It’s my desire to teach in a way that is inclusive of any body type, ability or background. I teach a slow, Hatha-flow style class, and am big on modifying the pose (with props or by other means) to meet each student’s individual needs. I’ve taught many different types of classes including: restorative, gentle, chair, prenatal, mommy and me, kids, beginning and fundamental style classes.
