Angel Yoga NZ

Angel Yoga NZ Beginner, gentle, general & intermediate classes. Purna, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Rainbow Kids Yoga Beginners Yoga & Pregnancy Yoga Courses in Invercargill.

Private & small group/Corporate Yoga classes by arrangement. I am a trained Yoga teacher in Purna Yoga, Byron Yoga Centre, (Iyengar -based Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga), Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Yoga Therapy, Bliss Baby Prenatal Yoga, Rainbow Kids Yoga, Family Yoga, Chakra Balancing, Lymphatic Drainage, Emotional & Physical Healing Therapies including differing styles of Meditation. (Journey Practitioner - The Journey Method - Brandon Bays). Yoga is a lot about giving and receiving. It has been proposed that we only keep what we have by giving it away, which is one of the main motivations for teaching and training others to teach. The yoga taught at Byron Yoga Centre is called Purna, meaning integrated or complete. Purna Yoga represents a holistic approach to yoga integrating not just the physical postures but also philosophy, meditation, pranayama breath control and the yogic personal and social code of ethics. The postural instruction is alignment focused. Sequences range from gentle restorative to dynamic vinyasa. "We seek to integrate all 8 limbs (Ashtanga) of yoga the way it was originally taught, more than 3000 years ago in India. Yoga asanas, or postures, are just one of these limbs. The other limbs are equally important, including meditation, pranayama breath control, and the personal and social code of ethics, the yamas and niyamas. The practice of yoga is intended to be joyful and to lighten the heart and mind by calming and energising. We encourage students at all levels to build flexibility, strength and stamina of body, mind and spirit. Yoga philosophies, such as ahimsa (non violence), are threaded throughout our classes. This helps bring about a deeper understanding of the key yogic values including diet and lifestyle aspirations. Many Byron Yoga Centre teacher trainees discover, as a consequence, that yoga becomes for them a way of life." - John Ogilvie, Byron Yoga Centre

“If the shadow of the earth comes between the full moon and sun there is an eclipse. If the feeling of ‘I’ and ‘mine’ casts its shadow upon the experience of fullness, all efforts of the sadhaka to gain peace are futile.” - B K S Iyengar, Light on Yoga.

When my shoulders protested, instead of backing off, I modified and breathed into the discomfort rather than pushing into pain.

We often tend to have a “push through/push on” mentality, which doesn’t always serve our mental, emotional & physical self.

When you face difficulty, just breathe long, slow, deep nourishing breaths and ‘Go with the Flow’🙏🏽

Looking forward to teaching lots of Yoga classes again in Omaui, Bluff & Invercargill, see you this summer 🕉️

🦋 Hips tight? This is your go-to stretch.

Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana)
💜 Sit tall, bring soles of the feet together
💜 Let the knees fall outward
💜 Hold your feet or ankles
💜 Keep spine long or gently fold forward
💜 Relax into your breath

Gentle, grounding, and deeply effective 💫

Such a good wall stretch 🙏😇🙌🏽

Such a good wall stretch 🙏😇🙌🏽

“One has to find the median line of each asana so that the energy is properly distributed. When one wavers from the median line, then one goes either to the past or the future. Vertical ascending is the future; vertical descending is the past. The horizontal is the present. The present is the perfect asana. When you open horizontally, the future and past meet in the present. This is how dynamic extension and expansion allow you to find balance and live more fully in the present through your body. In asana, we find balance and integration in the three dimensions of space, but we also find balance and integration in the fourth dimension of time.”

The A to Z of Yoga starting with my first practice as a 14 yo jockey and former ballet dancer/gymnast.


Astanga yoga is hard, due to its physically demanding, repetitive sequence of postures, the requirement for significant endurance and flexibility, and the mental fortitude needed to face physical limitations and frustration.

The structured, disciplined, and consistent nature of the practice, designed to build mental and physical strength, can feel daunting, especially for beginners.

Commitment 6 days a week minimum 3 hours per day.

✨ Simple acts of kindness are easy to do and cost nothing.

My first of 12 Yoga Teacher Trainings was Iyengar-based and it’s such a therapeutic yoga lineage 🙏

Today we honour the 11th Punyatithi (anniversary of passing) of B.K.S. Iyengar.

We remember his extraordinary life, his unwavering dedication to yoga, and the way his teachings continue to guide and inspire us every day on and off the mat.

Guruji’s work made yoga accessible to all, regardless of age, ability, or background and laid the foundation for the vibrant Iyengar yoga community we share today.

Love Chatutanga Dandasana for core strength 🙏😇

Love Chatutanga Dandasana for core strength 🙏😇

Building strength requires dedication, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The plank pose, or Chaturanga Dandasana, is an excellent exercise to strengthen the core, shoulders, and arms. It’s a fundamental move in yoga and fitness routines, helping you improve stability, balance, and overall endurance.

If you’re just starting, ensure your shoulders are aligned over your wrists, your body is in a straight line, and your core is fully engaged. By focusing on these key components, you’ll activate the right muscles and build a strong foundation.

Embrace the challenge, and remember—it’s not about holding the pose for as long as you can, but about making sure your form is strong and steady. Take this moment to connect with your body and push your limits in a mindful way. 💪🧘‍♂️
