Positive psychology takes you through the countryside of pleasure & gratification, up into the high country of strength & virtue, and finally to the peaks of lasting fulfillment, meaning & purpose.” — Martin Seligman 🌿

In our upcoming Mind Body Wellness IAYT-Accredited Yoga Therapy Module (Feb–Mar 2026), you’ll learn how to integrate these principles of positive psychology into Yoga Therapy practice. ✨

We’ll explore how yogic frameworks and wellness coaching tools can support clients in moving beyond short-term fixes.

Congratulations to our latest graduate, ✨

Please join us in celebrating Chelsi-Lee, who has officially graduated as a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) through Wisdom Yoga Institute.

Chelsi-Lee demonstrated commitment and resilience throughout her training while travelling, living in a van in New Zealand, and navigating pregnancy and postpartum.

For her Practicum, she designed and delivered a targeted Yoga Therapy program called “Beneath the Noise – A Journey into Calm”, supporting individuals experiencing stress, anxiety and depression. She partnered with Health Action Trust, a community-based mental health organisation in the Nelson/Tasman region, who collaborated with Tāhunanui Community Hub to make the program accessible to local participants. 🌿

Her program integrated evidence-informed yoga therapy tools for regulation and successfully brought Yoga Therapy into a community mental health setting.

We’re proud to welcome Chelsi-Lee into the Yoga Therapy profession and look forward to seeing her continued impact in the field. 🥰

• Yoga Therapy scope, ethics & relationships

Yoga invites us to become aware of the spaces we inhabit - the comfortable ones (sukha) and the uncomfortable ones (dukha).

By noticing both, we can practice compassion, steadiness, and balance on and off the mat.

Where are you feeling more sukha today? Where is there dukha? 💭

Overcoming Fear Through Movement 🌿

Chronic pain isn’t just about the body — it’s about the fear of movement. Recent research shows that when people regain confidence in moving, tension and protective bracing decrease, helping them feel more at ease in their bodies.

Yoga isn’t just exercise — it’s a tool to rebuild trust in your body, improve self-efficacy, and restore natural movement. 🧘‍♀️✨

💡 Swipe through to see the research behind how mindful movement supports recovery and wellbeing.
