New online class with Erin starting Thursdays!
From 7 May, 9:30-10:30am

✨ The Art of Being & Becoming ✨

Check in and allow yourself to be supported from the comfort of your own space.

This practice blends yoga and functional movement with gentle strength, balance, and pelvic floor awareness, alongside fascial release and lymphatic support.

You’ll also be guided into moments of slowing down, with deeper releasing stretches, conscious breath and guided relaxation to help your mind settle and your body rest and restore.

💻 Live on Zoom + replay included

Just $10 to anchor in the presence of being with the energy of becoming 🧡

Lunchtime yoga is back this term in Cambridge at Alpha Yoga starting this Friday 1 May, 12.30-1.15pm 🧡

I've been learning so much about my body as it continues to change (in particular hormone changes in midlife, osteoarthritis and reduced pelvic floor support). I am getting better at understanding what my body needs and how much better I feel when I give to myself. This might mean an ocean swim (it's getting a bit fresh in Raglan now!) cycle, gym workout, a short stroll in the rain... or simply to breathe and rest. And yoga weaved within my daily life helps in all sorts of ways to keep my body and mind happy ☺️

Shaped by my learnings, our sessions this term will include:
* pelvic floor health to strengthen from the inside out
* lymphatic movements to help boost circulatory flow, immunity and general wellbeing
* breathwork to increase energy and lift our mood
*practical ways to support mobility and ease in everyday life

These classes are for women through all seasons of life feeling the call for a more nourishing and sustainable approach to wellness.

Come along and join a small group of friendly women when it feels right for you. I’d love to see you there!

I have been in deep reflection, trying to capture the essence of my inward and outward work. I'm now happy to introduce Flourish's new visual representation of this work. I wanted to honour Flourish's original roots and pillars of strength, connection and wellness, creating the circle, all part of one continuous, evolving whole.

The beautiful lotus symbol, created by the soulful Sarah Vassella from Sacred Made Studio, represents grounded embodiment, coming home to yourself and your lived experience. The lotus rises from the mud into flower - here it reflects resilience, healing and the courage to be held in compassion during every season of life.

Emerging from the lotus are infinity-shaped golden lines integrating mind, body, breath and spirit, open-ended at the top to symbolise awakening, expansion and ongoing transformation.

This new symbol embodies my commitment to offering a space of safety and belonging within the body, alongside the freedom to gently expand into infinite possibility. Grounded presence and higher consciousness come together to create both containment and growth.

Thank you for being here to witness my own evolving personal journey being reflected in what I am being called to share at this time.

Erin 🧡

As Flourish St Kilda closes its doors, I am reflecting on the journey this has been. After 1,954 classes I, Erin, have taught at Flourish, it is now time to give my body (namely my arthritic hips) a slower, more compassionate pace.

The baton has now been passed to the lovely Laura who will be re-purposing the space to open a beautiful hair salon from late January, more on this to come.

We had a blast at our Christmas/farewell party on 10 Dec. Congratulations to Lynda who won the prize for the most classes in 2025, Sally for best dressed and Usha who won the member mystery prize - a print of choice from Raglan Photo Gallery.

Our last class on Christmas Eve came complete with fun partner yoga and a gratitude circle. We filled the space with intention, the ripple effect of peace from our own hearts, and out into the world. Appreciate all the love and hugs, it was quite emotional!

I am deeply grateful to every student, teacher, collaborator and supporter who made Flourish what it became. Endings are never easy, and while this chapter has ended, the impact, relationships and memories live on. Please stay connected as I will be keeping Flourish email, newsletters, website and socials going, we will just be evolving, with gentle offerings which will extend from Cambridge to Raglan.

I wanted to share some moments from our final classes and events. From a space that started out for movement, it became a space for so much more; people coming together for friendship, laughter, rest, healing, growth and belonging in a special community with genuine care for each other. Thank you for co-creating this with me. My heart is full.

With so much love and gratitude x

🙏 STUDIO CLOSURE 🙏

Hello cherished Flourish community,

I’m writing with a very important update.

After much consideration, I have made the difficult decision to close Flourish Wellness Studio. The last day of classes will be on Wednesday 24 December 2025. The lease and space will be taken over late December by a new tenant who approached me and is opening a hairdressing salon.

A big part of this decision is my health. I have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, causing early-onset osteoarthritis and requiring double hip replacement surgery, which has made it increasingly hard for me to teach and even simple movement like walking has become challenging.

If you are a Flourish member, your membership will automatically end on Wednesday 24 December. Punchpass will then issue refunds back to your card for any days you might have paid in advance.

If you are on a concession card you can either use this up between now and when we close or if you prefer a refund for any unused classes, please email me at hello@flourishwellnessnz.co.nz with your bank account number. Please request your refund by 24 December 2025.

All are warmly invited to continue attending as many classes as you like between now and right up to 24 December, everything will operate as normal.

Our wonderful teachers will also finish with Flourish on 24 December. I am very grateful for their expertise and genuine care for you all and their commitment in helping us close with integrity and compassion.

Flourish has been a place of connection and community for so many of us and I feel sad that this chapter is coming to a close but would love to stay in touch. I will be letting you know where you can find me and our teachers in future. I am so grateful for you all helping me to build this beautiful community. It has been a time of huge growth for me both personally and professionally and I am forever thankful for this opportunity.

Our end of year party on Wednesday 10 December will now double as a farewell party, so we hope to see you then or before we close. You can book your spot for the 5.30pm class or simply join us afterwards for drinks, food and socialising: https://www.flourishwellnessnz.co.nz/events-and-series/

Your support and contribution to Flourish has meant so much to me and I have been changed by this experience. I will keep you updated during these final 4 weeks and if you have any questions please let me know. Your presence in these final weeks will help us finish in a spirit of celebration of what we have created together.

With warmth and gratitude
Erin and the Flourish team x
