Metta Breathwork is a journey into the heart - a synthesis of Ayurvedic wisdom, conscious breathing, and the gentle power of self-love.

Rooted in the principle of Metta, loving-kindness, this practice invites you to meet yourself exactly where you are. Each breath becomes an act of compassion, a bridge between the mind and the body, and a reminder that love itself is the most healing medicine.

The workshop weaves together:
Conscious connected breathing
Mindful body awareness
Loving-kindness meditations
Heart-centered awareness tools (practices to shift from the thinking mind into the heart space)
Radiating loving energy exercises (tools to invite others into your compassionate, loving energy field)
Deep rest and integration

The experience is guided, safe, and nurturing - allowing emotions, memories, and tension to be released with compassion rather than effort or force.

Metta Breathwork is not about forcing change or reaching a goal. It is a return to home - to your body, your breath, and your heart. By honouring the wisdom of Ayurveda, the guiding forces of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and the medicine of loving breath, every session is an opportunity to meet yourself fully, cultivate compassion, and awaken the quiet strength and love that have always been within you.

Your facilitators:
Maliya is an international Ayurveda Yoga Therapist and breathwork facilitator, originally from Sweden, with over 20 years of experience guiding people into deeper relationship with body, breath, and awareness.

Sri Ganesh is the founder of Vaidya’s Ayurveda Village in Kerala, India, is an internationally recognised Ayurveda practitioner, inspirational lecturer and the author of eight most read health books in nine languages including United States, Europe and India.

We've been blessed to have had so many questions and queries about our offerings over the last few weeks that we thought it best to share our general timetable with you all.

Please note that this timetable is subject to change; with special events, classes and workshops being added from time to time. We are also a small space and team that are managing their home lives as well, which may mean sometimes a scheduled class won't be available.

The best bet is the live timetable on the website when booking your class. www.unionyoga.co.nz

As always we are open to suggestions about what our community might like to see on offer so please do reach out.

Hope to see you on the mat!

Our Story

My name is Anna and I am the face behind the name - Annasana. Throughout my life sport and movement have always played a big part. I have dabbled in yoga for over 20years in various cities and countries around the world however it wasn’t until returning to New Zealand in 2011, becoming a mother and losing a sister that I found true solace on the mat. In 2018 I felt a call to dive deep and completed my 200 yoga teacher training with Hot Yoga Wellington. I feel really passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga and supporting people to find more space in their bodies and minds.

I currently teach for Hot Yoga Wellington and Lower Hutt, Revive Gym, Crossfit 5011 and for the Hutt City Council Yoga Flavours community yoga programme.

Annasana Yoga is an opportunity for me to continue to connect to my local community and offer early morning yoga in a beautiful setting.

What brings me to the mat?
