Be Your Own Guru This is an invitation back to your own inner authority. My work centres on listening to the body as an intelligent system. me@heidifirth.com

Holistic Health Practitioner
Yin Yoga | Fascial Unwinding | Personalised 1:1 Support
I offer body-based practices that support nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and self-led healing. I offer body-based holistic health support through Yin Yoga, fascial unwinding, and personalised 1:1 sessions. Rather than forcing change, we create the conditions for regulation, release, and insight to emerge naturally. This may support nervous system balance, reduced tension, greater body awareness, and a stronger sense of self-trust. I don’t position myself as the expert over your experience. Instead, I work alongside you to help you reconnect with your own inner guidance. The aim is not dependency, but capacity. Tools you can feel, understand, and carry into daily life. This is slow, embodied work for people who want sustainable change and a deeper relationship with themselves.

I've made the decision to let go of our Monday evening Yin Yoga class.

So we're back to Wednesdays only again, for the now.

In this space, I bring my heart, my presence & deep listening.

We're moving through slow poses, at the pace that works with your nervous system.

There's nowhere to be.
There's nothing to 'achieve.'
There's simply the invitation to drop into a space the nourishes the whole of your being, addressing your feminine (yin) nature.

Think of it as the reset you didn't know you needed.

We've got a solid bunch of Yogi's who've been attending since the very beginning, and these people truly value the gift of nourishing their inner Yin energies.

I'd love for you to join us over the Yin Season (Autumn/Winter). This is a gentle class for any body.

🌿 Exciting New Monday Class Announcement! 🌿

We’re shaking things up! Starting next week, our Monday class is evolving into… Reverse Yoga 🧘‍♀️✨

What’s Reverse Yoga, you ask? We start in Savasana and… do nothing else. Perfect for anyone who wants deep grounding, total relaxation, and a profound sense of accomplishment without moving a muscle.

Spots are limited, people will be rushing in to go slow. 😉

In a world that continues to change rapidly, we are invited to cultivate an inner world of stability.

One such way is creating regular practices to support such & allow us to come to know our inner selves.

I've been facilitating Yin Yoga classes now for about 3 years. Beginning at Nadi Wellness in Queenstown, and now from Body Restore Clinic Ltd in Blenheim.

In changing times, the anchoring of a space to pause, reflect & restore can become the container we didn't know we needed.

I pride myself on creating a space that moves at the pace the participants nervous systems crave. Listening deeply to the subtle energies of the collective space in the studio.

It may move slower than most, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm listening & I'm allowing. Nervous systems need this. They need awareness, care & presence.

I'm not only guiding physical Yin Yoga poses, I'm listening to the nervous systems in the room. Putting into practice the very thing they ask for. This listening is beyond the mind, and into the deeper systems of the body.

The props are cosy, the light is low, the music is a mindfully curated list of tunes to exhale too, allowing the mind to invite space.

Comparatively to Queenstown, Blenheim residents show up regularly - allowing me to hear how much they receive from a regular practice. Sharing insights, gratitude & body shifts.

Consider adding Yin Yoga as a weekly practice into your self care tool kit.

Yin Yoga is a practice suited to every body.

It's mostly floor based.

Poses are held anywhere from 30 seconds - 5 minutes. On your own mat, and mostly with eyes closed if that is comfortable.

Yin invites participants to connect with their own inner Yin state. Their inner feminine energy. We all hold inner feminine & masculine energies. Yin/Yang ☯️

Life to date has largely been dominated by being masculine dominant, Yang. Very outwardly focused, linear, structured, results driven, productive, direct.

Yin energy is mostly, expansive, receptive, fluid, restorative, emotive, creative... plus so much more.

Most people do not even know that they're Yin deficient.

Perhaps reaching burn out or fatigue long after the body has been sending signals.

If you're someone who doesn't like to stop or slow down, always needs to be doing something, focused on a task, distracting self with devices, people, work, tv, hobbies etc... there's a high chance you could be Yin deficient.

Sometimes we need to learn how to slow.

To breathe.

To come home to ourselves.

Because the noise has gotten so loud.

Yin Yoga is a wonderful space for such.

Your fascia is your superpower!

All our memories and life's experiences are stored within our bodies.

When we listen to the wisdom of the fascia through fascia unwinding, we hear what the body has been carrying.

The fascia shares all the ways in which we're affected by coping patterns and behaviors.

These can unwind through the system, creating an opportunity for new ways, new energy, to integrate through.

Creating awareness, change & transformation.

What outdated story is alive within your body?

Ohhh the amazing wonder that you are and your innate ability to heal is profound.

I'm finding Fascia Unwinding my 'go to' modality at this time.

It gets straight into the core of what is happening for an individual.

Our nervous system health is everything. If it's stuck or frozen, it could be creating symptoms in the body.

Our bodies are WISE, and we need to listen to their wisdom.

Fascia Unwinding does just that. It listens to the body, and the story it has to share. When we do, miracles can happen. It can unwind from old tension & trauma it's been holding for years.

Book your session today.
