Does this look like your kind of yoga?
Join me for my upcoming Restorative yoga immersion at Hilltop Haven for 2 hours of supported shapes, guided mediation and breathing practices to support your body and mind in slowing down and landing more fully in your present moment experience.

The Quiet Body practices aren't about performing wellness. You wont see any headstands or intense breath-work here.
These practices are designed to allow space for you to meet yourself and to begin to detach and unwind for the constant noise and movement of your daily life. A window of calm presence in your day or week.

• 19 February – 16 April
• No session on 19 March

My second workshop in the Rest as Medicine series is now open for bookings. This one's called:
The Practice
Saturday 30 August 9:30–11:00 AM

This isn’t "yoga" as you might know it.
No mats required, no shapes to master, no chants or mantras or perfect postures.

The Practice is a quiet space to feel and to notice.
To soften the edges of stress and come home to yourself through breath, stillness, and the subtle language of your nervous system.

You don’t need to have come to the first workshop.
And if you're more into the experience than the theory then this is for you.
Because nervous system work truly comes alive in the experience.
In the showing up.
In the felt sense of safety and regulation.

This is rest as reclamation.
As regulation.
As medicine.

A 90-minute immersion into embodied practice rooted in nervous system support, somatic tools, and the wisdom of slowing down.

This weekend’s sold-out workshop Rest as Medicine is almost here and I’m so looking forward to gathering with those of you attending. It feels especially needed in this midwinter moment... a morning of stillness, nervous system support, and gentle reconnection.

If you missed out, I’m excited to share that I’ll be co-facilitating a new offering NEXT Saturday (2nd August) with my dear friend Rebecca from at her new Space, The Hart Centre in Waiuku.

She will facilitate a heart-nurturing cacao ceremony which will then flow into somatic connection, breath, and gentle yoga. It's a space to soften, recalibrate, and realign with your inner knowing. Through movement, stillness, and intentional presence.

Rebecca and I created this offering from our shared love of creating safe, nurturing spaces and would love to share it with you.

Spaces are limited, please arrive a little early to settle in, and bring anything you need to feel comfortable (pillows, blankets, journal, water, etc).

BOOKING LINK IN BIO or check out to book your spot.

So many of us try to make decisions, seek clarity, or connect with our intuition while our nervous systems are still locked in a stress response... frozen, overwhelmed, scattered, or bracing for impact. But alignment doesn’t live there.

True alignment lives in the quieter spaces.
It comes when we begin to soften, settle and listen.

That's why our upcoming event, A Quiet Alignment, begins with the body. With breath. With regulation.

Because when we offer our nervous systems a sense of safety, something beautiful happens:
We create space to reconnect t our inner wisdom, to our truth, and too the knowing that’s been waiting underneath the noise.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, stuck in your head, or unsure which way to go next, come be with us.

This is your invitation to come home to yourself.

A Quiet Alignment is a co-led event with my beautiful friend held in Waiuku on Saturday 2nd August.

The Rest As Medicine workshop has officially sold out.
⠀
Over the past few days, I’ve been quietly shaping the companion workbook. layering in the tools, prompts, and somatic reflections that will support participants long after our time together.
⠀
This workbook isn’t just a take-home resource. It’s a gentle space to meet your nervous system with understanding, softness, and honesty. A place to track your patterns, map your regulation, and honour rest as a daily practice of reweaving safety.
⠀
So grateful to those joining me in this circle.
More offerings are in the works, so stay close if this speaks to you.
