The Yin Side Paihia ✨

30/03/2026

Ok but… who wants an hour in the kitten cabin at Coast to Coast Cat Rescue?! 🐾

We’re fundraising for Dougal and running a giveaway — plus every donation is currently being DOUBLED 💥

Already at $280 ($560 with matching!) 🔥
Honestly the best excuse you’ll have all school holidays 😅

👉 See below for how to win 👇🐾

‼️Today is Final Day of Financial Year, the perfect day to donate so you can put a claim in for your end of year tax!!

UPDATE - You guys are working your magic 🥹😻 we’re at $500!!!

We need your help — and right now, your donation is DOUBLED.

This beautiful boy, Dougal, turned up in rural Whangārei, hanging around someone’s home looking for help. No one came forward for him, so he’s now safely in our care 💛

What we didn’t expect… was how much he’s carrying.

He is already desexed and microchipped (but not registered), but after a full check over we’ve discovered:
• He needs dental treatment
• He is FIV positive
• He has a heart arrhythmia, which means any procedures require extra monitoring and care

Despite all of this — he is incredibly gentle and affectionate.
He leans into you like he’s known you forever.

We are working alongside CatsnCare in Warkworth to get him the best possible care at the best possible price, and we’ve been quoted $1,500 – $2,000 for his treatment.

⸻

💥 HERE’S THE BIG PART 💥
Thanks to the amazing team at SavourLife, we have $1,000 pledged to MATCH your donations

👉 That means your $10 becomes $20
👉 Your $20 becomes $40

With this match, we only need to raise $1,000 to fully cover his treatment.

⸻

🎟 BONUS — GIVEAWAY ENTRY

✨ Win a private 1-hour Kitten Cabin experience (up to 4 people) — as much fun and cuddles as you can handle! ✨

• Every $5 donated = 1 entry
• $10 = 3 entries

👉 How to enter:
1. Donate via the link below
2. Screenshot your receipt
3. Send it to us + your phone number

⸻

We know times are tough — but right now, even a small donation goes twice as far.

Dougal didn’t ask for any of this… but we can give him a chance.

Let’s do this together. 💛

Yin is for real people.
With real bodies.
Busy minds.
Tight hips.
Zero flexibility.
And the occasional mid-class nap.

You don’t need to be bendy.
You don’t need to “know” yoga.
You don’t need to fix yourself.

If you can breathe, you can Yin.

This is a space where your body gets to be exactly as it is — and that’s more than enough. 🤍

26/01/2026

The doors are opening and the mats are coming back out.

The Yin Side reopens Monday 9 February and I can’t wait to welcome you back.

Slow, steady, nourishing practices to ease you out of summer and into rhythm again.

All ages. All bodies. All levels.
See you on the mat. 🤍

🌿 Summer Pause at The Yin Side 🌿

That’s a wrap for the year — The Yin Side is now closed for summer holidays.

Thank you to every one of you who showed up, slowed down, and shared space on the mat this year. This little community truly means so much to me 🤍

I’ll be taking a proper break, spending as much time at the beaches as possible, letting my body and nervous system reset before we head into a new year.

We reopen on 9 February, and there’s something new to look forward to…
✨ MyoFascial Release classes are coming — no Yin shapes, just targeted release, balls, and deep tissue love.

Classes will go live to book closer to reopening, so keep an eye on this page.

Until then, enjoy the summer slowdown and I’ll see you back on the mat soon, Yinsters 🌊✨

Most people come to Yin for the stretch.
They stay for the lessons.

Patience when things feel uncomfortable.
Presence when the mind wants to wander.
Letting go of trying to “do it right”.
Learning that rest isn’t weakness.
Discovering that stillness has a lot to say.

The slow practice with the biggest teachings 🤍

I have 1 x spot free for Yin tonight at 6pm. Who’s keen?! Book online now 💫
