Had the best outdoor bath under the stars while this guy cooked us the most epic anniversary dinner 🛁

In the morning I did 30 mins HIIT + this yoga session while he made us bacon + egg brekkie baps 🥓🍳

He then waited patiently for me to finish my meditation + pranayama so we could eat together watching the river 🧘🏻‍♀️

I don’t say enough nice things about him, but truly this happens a lot…after a long tiring week, I get to faff around yogaing + self caring while he cooks (+ cleans up!) 🍽

Happy 9 year-aversay love! Thank you for everything ♥️

✨ 6:30pm Monday night class is back ON tonight Level 2 styles! It was fully booked but I’ve just had a cancellation from a group of 3…so there’s still time for you to book (DM me) & run out the door to yoga tonight!

✨ Exercise New Zealand rules are: wear your mask to & from class (not during), be 2m apart from each other in class + lots of cleaning for me to know about and do and for you to blissfully ignore!

✨ Bring your own mat if you can, otherwise I have spares.

Lower Back Love :: The most requested private sessions I take are for lower back pain, and by and large they have been for sacroiliac issues. Whilst SI dysfunction is totally super miserable, yoga can help! ⚡️✨

Simply stretching this area can have the effect of destabilising the ligaments further, so yoga in all it’s wisdom aims to strengthen as well as relieve - create a stabilising cradle for the joints as it were ☺️✨

Tonight’s class will have a focus on lower back strengthening, stretching & stabilisation…I feel like I'm always studying more on this topic, the learning never stops! 🧠✨

Tag someone below who needs this class! See you tonight 6:30pm in Haruru ♥️✨

Mum mum wake up, let’s take Marvin for a run on the beach…

Ok well you run & I’ll walk 😄

I woke on Sunday to this & still basking in the golden glowing energy of our beautiful Women’s Circle the night before I would have agreed to almost anything. Additionally lots of our talk was centred around how we as women can integrate more PLAY in our lives…and pets came out strongly! (As did a good old cards night…coming soon , brace yourself ♠️♥️♣️♦️)

Yoga this week:
A strong theme of Play! We’ll use the breath to create a moving meditation of playful shapes & flows…can’t wait to see you on the mat!

Sunday Soulday :: Again my Sunday arvo found me at my gorgeous friend Anna’s having some timeout & doing one of my fave things, baking (& eating baking). It was so good & even though I know on close inspection that my decorating is a bit basic (see my story for a close up 😂), it’s not bad for a first effort and I’m really looking forward to practising!🧁

I’ve planned some sweet yoga for us this week based on the 3rd chakra - willpower & determination and basically building energy & strength in a chill manner 🧁

Classes are:
MON ~ 6:30pm ~ Haruru
TUES ~ 12 noon ~ Haruru
FRI ~ 9:15am ~ Waitangi

P.S. If you were one of the few who spotted my accidental post Sat night/Sun am, see my story for the full version!!! you guys know how to throw a totally rocking party!✌🏼🎉❤️

Yoga Therapy :: Everything is better with a friend ♥️

So excited for Term 3 Yoga starting tonight! See you on the mat Mon night, Tues lunch or Fri a.m. ♥️

Necks & Shoulders :: A recurring anatomy theme in yoga, but so so good! This week we are looking to strengthen and stretch out the shoulders - and while we're at it, it would be rude to ignore the neck! 🧘‍♀️😊

Also love this meme...along the lines of those t-shirts that were doing the rounds with "I'm just here for the savasana" 🧘‍♀️😊

See you on the mat! 🧘‍♀️😊

Mon 6:30pm @ Haruru
Tues 12noon @ Haruru
Fri 9:15am @ Waitangi

New Moon Women's Circle :: Beyond excited to announce that after months of planning & giggling behind the scenes, Francie from The Yin Side Paihia and I will be running monthly New Moon Women's Circles - starting this July on Saturday 10th! 🌙✨

We will provide journalling prompts for the essence of each month's New Moon & for the Shamanic Theme of each month - giving you space to think about and set your intentions for the month ahead. This is a powerful practise for consciously choosing what you want to be in your life and that which you choose to let go of 🌙✨

Sharing with other like-minded women, oracle card readings + a beautiful guided meditation with Reiki will fill our evening together and fill all of our cups. Make some time for yourself to give back to you & treat yourself to a nurturing Saturday night out. 🌙✨

Tea & homemade treats supplied by us, just bring a pen & journal (we suggest you gift yourself a gorgeous new one just for the purpose of your New Moon venturings...but anything will do) 7 - 9pm @ Haruru Falls, please DM to book or text 021658576 🌙✨
