Some people worry that they will feel awkward coming to Yoga alone.

In reality most people arrive alone, roll out their mat and enjoy an hour to themselves.

No-one is concerned with what others are doing or not doing, everyone is just focused on soaking up this time.

If however, you are keen to meet like-minded people, then you might just find some friendly faces keen to chat after class. If you prefer to slink in and out quietly and keep to yourself that is 100% fine too.

Class times:

Mondays 6:30pm Methven
Tuesdays 12:15pm Ashburton
Thursdays 9:15am Methven
Any day private in person or online

Term 2 Yoga begins next week -

12/04/2026

There is a common misconception that Yoga is just stretching. There are many forms of Yoga, and some are just stretching - these are called Yin or Restorative Yoga.

My classes are a combination of Hatha, Vinyasa and Power Yoga. What that means is that the sequence that we move through each week is a combination of challenging strength based postures (eg planks), stretches and relaxation.

I am aware that like myself, many people rely on Yoga as one of their forms of exercise for the week. For this reason, in each class I will give options to get a bloody good workout (the sound effects in class tell me people are feeling it!). If though, your body doesn't need that at the mo, you can take the other options I give to wind it down (eg knees down in planks).

There is never any pressure to do the hard stuff, but if you are time poor and wanted the one hour to get you a workout, stretch and relaxation then this is the place to come.

The strength bases postures in Yoga can be as hard as you like, and when practiced regularly will completely tone the whole body and aid weight loss.

One of the things I love most about Yoga is that at the end we always stop, breathe and relax, so that after the workout, we still leave feeling calm, rather than shattered and flustered.

Strong, toned,flexible and calm. Ideal.

People often rush into class feeling overly busy, mentally overloaded, stressed and tight.

Most of the time people tell me, they leave feeling more calm, slow paced, lighter and happy.
