✨ What a beautiful way to start the day! ✨

Today I had the pleasure of hosting a special wellness event for an amazing group of nurses and health professionals from Auckland Hospital.

We began the morning with a grounding meditation practice and breath work followed by a Pilates class, and finished with a deeply restorative Yin Yoga session, enhanced with essential oils in a venue overlooking the harbour.

It was such a joy to guide these incredible women through a morning of movement, mindfulness, and relaxation. The work they do every day is so important, and it was an honour to create a space where they could recharge and reconnect.

The best part? We’ll be doing it again very soon! 💛

If you’re looking to organise a team bonding experience, corporate wellness day, or a private yoga and Pilates event for your workplace, I’d love to help create a memorable experience for your team.

🌿✨ Children Yoga: A Story of Light, Connection & Belonging ✨🌿

Today we shared the beautiful Māori creation story of Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother).

At the beginning, the world was filled with darkness, and their children lived between the earth and the sky. They longed for light and space to grow. Through courage and determination, Tāne helped separate the sky and earth, allowing Te Ao Mārama, the world of light to begin. ☀️

Through yoga, mindfulness, and movement, our tamariki explored this story by becoming trees, oceans, mountains, and the sky. We connected our breath, our bodies, and our hearts to the natural world around us. 🌳🌊

A beautiful reminder that we are all connected to Papatūānuku, our whenua, and each other. 💚

✨ A yoga retreat with an Italian twist… 🇮🇹🧘‍♀️

You know that every retreat I host is about more than just yoga. We move, we breathe, we connect and there’s always something new to learn.

This time, I’d love to bring a little piece of my home country to you.

Imagine nourishing yoga practices, peaceful moments in nature, and an authentic Italian gourmet dinner made with real, traditional recipes. Fresh, seasonal, delicious italian food that celebrates the joy of eating well.

We’ll also share a hands on workshop where you’ll discover some of the secrets of Italian cooking, so you can bring a little taste of Italy home with you.

Because true wellness isn’t only about movement, it’s also about feeding the mind, the body, and the soul. ❤️

✨ A retreat inspired by yoga, connection, and the simple beauty of authentic Italian food.

Stay tuned… it’s coming soon!

If this sounds like something you’d love to experience, let me know in the comments or send me a message to express your interest. I’d love to have you there !

✨ A beautiful afternoon of slowing down, reconnecting, and remembering that rest is not a luxury: it’s a necessity. 💛

Our Rest Release Renew Yoga Retreat was everything we hoped it would be and more.

We began by gathering in a welcoming cacao circle, sharing the rich history and beautiful benefits of ceremonial cacao before enjoying this heart opening ritual together.

From there, we immersed ourselves in a mindful beach meditation, feeling the warmth of the sun, the sand beneath our feet, the gentle rhythm of the waves, and discovering our own little treasures along the shoreline.

The afternoon continued with calming breathwork, quiet moments of integration, soothing essential oils, myofascial release using massage balls, and a deeply restorative candlelit yoga practice.

Between cups of nourishing tea, heartfelt conversations, moments of laughter, stillness, connection, release, and reflection, we created something truly special together.

We finished with delicious refreshments and dessert: the perfect ending to an afternoon dedicated to self-care and restoration.

These moments are so rare in our busy lives. They remind us that we are allowed to slow down, to rest, to nourish ourselves, and simply be.

A huge thank you to our incredible group for bringing such beautiful energy and openness, and to the stunning Kohimarama Yacht Club for providing the perfect beachfront setting.

My heart is so full. Thank you to everyone who shared this experience with us. Until next time. 🤍
