Yoga with Jess - Richmond/Nelson/Tasman

13/01/2026

As we step into 2026, I’ve been reflecting on what this year is all about for me — and the words that keep coming up are strength, wellness, and community.

Last year I met Krissy from FitMiss while I was on my journey to rebuild myself and take my fitness in a new direction. We clicked and when she offered me the opportunity to be part of the Formé team, I had to say yes!

Formé opens in Richmond this Saturday 17 January (opening day details below - see you there from 10am).

Hot Yoga classes start Wednesday 21 January with the lovely Rachel (), and I’ll be taking classes from Wednesday 28 January. I honestly can’t wait to move, sweat, and breathe with you in this new environment - I've had a sneak peak and its gorgeous!

You can find out more about the gym here:

Here’s to 2026 — the year we choose strength, wellness, and ourselves.

With warmth,
Jess

✨ Bring the retreat feeling home ✨

The beautiful scent you’ve noticed in class is my Retreat Essential Oil Blend, something I originally created just for my yoga sessions. It’s been so loved that I’ve decided to bottle it up and make it available for you to enjoy at home too 🌿

This blend reflects the same peaceful, centred energy I love to create in class. It’s soothing, grounding, and helps you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with that sense of calm we all crave.

💛 Use it in your diffuser during your yoga or meditation practice
💧 Add a few drops while you unwind at the end of the day
🌙 Or simply enjoy the scent as a gentle reminder to pause and breathe

Let the aroma fill your space and bring you back to that retreat-like calm, wherever you are.

You can find it on my Felt store here: https://felt.co.nz/shop/je_ceramics or send me a message to order for $20 directly 🌸

🌿 Exciting news! 🌿

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be teaching Hot Yoga classes at Forme Fitness — Richmond’s brand new, women’s-only gym! 💪🧘‍♀️

Hot Yoga is such a beautiful way to release tension, build strength, and reconnect with your body. The gentle heat supports deep stretching, encourages detoxification, and leaves you feeling grounded, calm, and empowered.

If you’re looking to move mindfully, build confidence, and create space for yourself — this is for you. 💫

You can find out more about Forme Fitness here 👉 www.formefitness.co.nz

Hello friends! I have been asked if I will be running weekly yoga classes and at this stage I haven’t got anything booked in.

I will be running longer yoga sessions - such as this Sundays Flow and Restore, perhaps once a month, so keep an eye out!

Thank you to everyone who has been attending my classes the last 18 months, hopefully I’ll see you in one of my special sessions soon!

Hello ! I thought I'd pop in a wee update as I've been bumping into a few of you lately, at dance classes , the supermarket and shoe shops 😉!

As my yoga students from last year are aware, I have taken a step back from teaching this term and instead I've been practising what I teach, and focusing on my own health and wellbeing. I have been trying something new just about every week - which is pushing me outside of my comfort zone! I am making new friends and having a blast, even if sometimes I feel abit like a duck out of water 🦆

I do miss you all and I miss teaching! Over the next few months I'm going to be taking some longer sessions, starting Sunday 6 April. Its going to be a glorious 2 hours of gentle flow, holding poses for slightly longer, then a lovely yoga nidra/shavasana/relaxation at the end.

If this sounds like you, check out my website www.yogatasman.nz/classes or flick me a message.
When you sign up and pay early, you're making a commitment—not just to the event but to yourself 🫶.
