SPECIAL MONDAY CLASS 🧘‍♀️🧘🧘‍♂️

Join Vanessa this Monday at 9:15am for a Flow that melts into one of her signature Yoga Nidras - a deeply restful guided meditation that feels like a mini reset for your whole system.

This will be Vanessa’s last official class on our timetable & we’d love to fill the room with all the love she’s poured into our yogi community.

She’s been such a grounding presence in the studio & while she’s shifting her focus more towards her work in Tairua, she’ll always be part of our Drift whānau (& will hopefully pop in from time to time 💛).

If you’ve ever loved moving with Vanessa or have been meaning to - this is the class to come to.

See you Monday 9:15am on the mat ✨

📣📣📣 Big warm welcome to Nicky, who will be taking ownership of The Drift this December.

Nicky & her family have called Whangamatā home since 2010, raising their two girls in this beautiful community. With a Psychology degree & years of experience in the health & wellness industry, she brings a grounded, holistic approach to wellbeing.

Her passion for movement naturally led her into completing her Personal Training qualification, gaining her Dynamic Pilates Reformer Instructor certification & now currently working toward her Diploma in Functional Fitness.

Nicky steps into this role with a huge heart for honouring the energy & community that makes The Drift what it is. All your favourite classes & instructors remain - you’ll still see me (April) in the studio, teaching right through summer & beyond.

We have an action-packed holiday schedule which we will reveal soon, with a few fresh classes added in 2026, extending our offerings to meet your needs.

Please join us in welcoming Nicky to The Drift. She’s buzzing to meet you all & step into this next chapter and I couldn't imagine a better person to do it 🧡

After 6+ amazing years, The Drift is stepping into a new chapter 🌿

I’m so proud of what this community has become - together, we’ve moved through new spaces, lockdowns, laughter, challenges & plenty of planks 😝

I’ve officially handed the ownership reins to an incredible local lass who’ll carry The Drift forward (more to come soon 👀).

I’ll still be on the teaching team, doing what I love most - moving with you all & sharing the mat through summer & beyond 🤍

Here’s to The Drift’s next wave - same heart, fresh energy 🌊💫

Seeya on the mat ✌🏼
With love, April

6️⃣+ years, 3️⃣ spaces, countless classes & 1️⃣ seriously special community 🌊

From our first little studio to now, The Drift has always been about moving, growing, & connecting together 💫

We’ve got some exciting updates ahead, but for now, just a big heartfelt thank you for being the heartbeat of this space 💌

Keep your eyes peeled 👀 - A fresh chapter is on the horizon…

MEET ZOE 💫🪩🩶
Zoe completed her 200hr yoga teacher training in Aruba in 2017 & has taught internationally ever since.

Her yang–yin classes blend strength & softness - gentle, fluid movement balanced & meditative stillness. Weaving anatomy, mobility & mindfulness, Zoe teaches with presence & purpose ✨

Now with us in Whanga, Zoe brings that same creativity off the mat - whether she’s hiking, swimming, horse riding, making pottery, or cooking up something beautiful as a chef 😎
