YIN YOGA 5:30pm tonight - cancelled

I’m sorry, sadly I need to cancel our last Yin Yoga class at 5:30pm tonight as my daughter has her end-of-year school prize-giving at the same time!

Thank you to each of you who has joined me on this evening this year — it’s such a special time we share, connecting within ourselves and with each other.

If I don’t get to see you at my final class this Thursday at 9:30am (with free ceremonial cacao on offer ☕️), I wish you a peaceful festive season with your loved ones.

I look forward to coming together again in the New Year! 🤍

Our final Vinyasa Flow of the year is coming up — and you’re invited! 🌿✨

We’ll begin with a warming cup of ceremonial cacao, then flow, breathe, and land together in a practice designed to leave you feeling clear, connected, and energised.

🍫 Free cup of heart-opening cacao
🧘‍♀️ Feel-good mindful movement
🌙 Deep rest + year-end integration

This Thursday Dec 18th | 9:30–10:45am
Whanganui Yoga Centre
From $16 (with a pass)

Let’s close the year together with intention, movement, and a little magic 🤍

Ceremonial cacao is a sacred superfood known to elevate mood, support the heart, and bring emotional clarity — a beautiful companion for conscious movement and rest. Simone is a trained ceremonial cacao practitioner with Seleno Health.

✨ Only three more weeks before we pause for a summer break — now’s the perfect time to treat yourself to some deep, nourishing yoga! ✨

If you haven’t yet experienced a class at Yoga Spirit (held at the Whanganui Yoga Centre on Guyton Street), come and carve out a moment of calm before the busyness of summer takes over. Let’s return to your peaceful centre — one mindful breath at a time.

Whether you’re craving restorative calm or energising flow, I offer two beautiful paths to balance body, mind, and spirit:

🌿 Yin Yoga — slow, therapeutic poses that release tension, restore mobility, and calm the nervous system. Deeply grounding, meditative, and restorative. And we have moved into targeting our summer meridians for joy based on TCM! Tuesdays 5:30pm. Book here: https://yogaspirit.co.nz/yin-yoga/

🌟 Vinyasa Flow Yoga — link breath with movement to build strength, flexibility, inner calm, and renewed energy. Each class ends with a soothing savasana to leave you grounded and recharged. Thursdays 9:30am. Book here: https://yogaspirit.co.nz/vinyasa-flow-yoga/

My teaching draws on over a decade of dedicated practice — from ancient yogic philosophy, anatomy & biomechanics, meditation, pranayama, and Ayurveda — to create a welcoming space where you can truly connect with yourself.

💫 Special Offer: Bring a friend to your first class together before December 20th — you’ll both get $5 off each drop-in session! Message me directly to book your spot.

Let’s move, breathe, and reset together. Leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.

🙏Simone

🌱 Spring Yin Yoga – Flow Like Bamboo! 🌱

Feeling a bit stuck, frustrated, or tense? Spring is the perfect time to refresh and release! In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this season is all about clearing the liver and gallbladder pathways – and that’s exactly what we focus on in our Yin classes right now.

Join us tomorrow, Tuesday at 5:30 pm, for 75 minutes of gentle movement, deep stretches, and restorative poses. With the support of props, this class is welcoming to every body and every level.

Like wood or bamboo, the element of spring, you’ll cultivate flexibility, adaptability, and flow – body, mind, and spirit – while enjoying a little gentle detox and revitalisation.

💛 Come as you are, and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and ready to move with the season.

🌸 Unhurried poses. Gentle stillness. The option to do less — so you can be more. 🌸

Come dissolve, unwind, and reconnect with yourself tonight in a Yin Yoga practice designed for spring — a season of movement, renewal, and change.

Yin invites us into stillness, helping to activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the place where we can truly rest, digest, and restore.
