✨This message landed quietly — and meant a lot.✨

Not because someone is doing “all the classes.”
But because they’re listening to their body and moving at their own pace.

Once a week.
Friday evenings.
Yin and Restorative.

That’s enough.

So often people think they need to come more, do more, push themselves further.
But real change doesn’t come from intensity — it comes from consistency and care.

“It’s a work in progress” is not a failure.
It’s honesty.
And it’s how most real practices actually look- mine included! If I was honest with my own yoga practice, I did 5min of meditation today amongst a walk, then 15min legs up the wall, some lunges and breathing to energise and that’s my day! 🙈

This is exactly why we teach the way we do.
No pressure to attend everything.
No expectation to be anything other than where you are.

Just a steady place to land.

If gentle, thoughtful yoga feels like what your body needs right now, you’re very welcome — whether that’s once a week, once in a while, or when you’re ready. We are here 💕

This wasn’t the hardest pose.

The hardest part was sitting.
Breathing. Stopping.
Letting my body arrive after two days of travel, time zones, holding myself together.

I had huge emotions coming back to my beautiful studio… lots of fears, anxiety of judgement for not being there, not feeling my whole best self… and many days of non sleep. Plus all the usual stressors of running a business, trying to see everyone and always “behind!”

Movement was familiar. I’ve been on the go non-stop for 2yrs around the world. Juggling the business, my school students, travel.
Stillness wasn’t.

And that’s something I see again and again — especially with people who are capable, strong, and used to coping.

When we’ve spent years moving through life by doing, the body doesn’t always know how to settle right away.
So when we pause, it can feel restless, uncomfortable, or even unsettling.

That doesn’t mean we’re doing it wrong.
It means the body is learning something new.

This is why we don’t rush stillness.
Why we don’t force rest.
Why sitting and breathing can be just as much a practice as any pose.

It’s also the foundation of how we teach — in our Petone studio and the part of my life I was missing (or lacking).

If you’ve ever found stillness harder than movement, you’re not alone.
And there’s nothing to fix.

Just a gentle place to begin.

What an incredible return back to join Jannines class especially with my bestie who has flown from Christchurch just for the day! 💕

It’s good to be back! Not still yet- but stiller. 🙈🥰

Practicing yin yoga on a regular basis has multiple benefits.

It will help you have a more regulated nervous system, deeper sleep and more flexibility ~ and these are real luxury nowadays ✨

Plus, yin yoga stimulates the fascia and allows you to release...just like a deep tissue massage, without spending $100!

While the world rushes toward Black Friday, I’m thinking about aparigraha - taking only what we need.

From the chaos of London to the quiet practice of seva, this carousel is about choosing differently. Swipe for the full story (and some secondary school magic ✨)

Dear Anahata Community, While the world rushes toward frenzied consumption this Black Friday, I find myself thinking about aparigraha – the yogic principle of non-grasping, of taking only what we need. Living in London, this week, I've watched (and heard) absolute choas unfold as every retailer an...

Fascia is the casing of connective tissues that surrounds our every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place.

Working on your fascia can be a key to healing because our fascia might hold trauma from the past, so it is crucial not only for our physical wellbeing but for our emotional wellbeing too.

In our next myofascial release workshop with we will explore yin poses combined with therapy balls, which will allow us to release those tight spots in a safe and relaxed environment.

You will learn techniques that you can easily implement in your everyday life.

I had 20 minutes to wait for my train… so you guessed it. I’m that person 🤣
I’ll practice in a train station, an airport hallway, a park,
or wherever life places me.

Because the breath comes with me.
The presence comes with me.
The home comes from within. I BE yoga. I don’t just DO yoga.

But here’s the thing I’m learning —
even though yoga is something we can do anywhere in the world,
it becomes something deeper when we do it together.

London is fast. Wellington is spacious.
I am both.
And yoga is the bridge.

If you’re in Wellington and looking for community, support, warmth, and real connection —
Find your people at Anahata.
We’d love to welcome you in. And I miss our community! (But home at Xmas💕) 🫶✨
