✨ Two new classes are starting next week! ✨

I have been busy with other things that I forgot to tell you this! Two new weekly classes to our schedule:

🌿 Wednesday mornings with Bhavani
🌿 Tuesday evenings with Laura Briggs

Laura has covered my classes many times and students love her lovely energy and skill.

As these are brand-new classes, it can take a little time for them to find their rhythm and for a regular group to form.

If you’d like to join us, please book ahead rather than leaving it until the last minute. Bookings will close 45 minutes before the class begins, so we can make sure we have enough people for the class to go ahead.

Your early bookings really help us nurture these new classes and give them the chance to grow into regular offerings on the schedule.

We’d love to see you there. 🤍

Thank you for this wonderful Mum & Daughter morning to start the school holidays with a connection to ourselves and each other.

I do teach at Girl's Highschool during the year, but I hadn't done a workshop with my daughter in it. It was so special.
Its the time of my life where I am living with teens, I remember when she was with me with Mum's and Bubs classes 11 years ago ( see last picture).

The prompt today was "What does it mean to me to connect to my body with kidness". And to watch the sharing that opened between each other was just beautiful 😍.

Enjoy the school holidays!!

On October 10th, we’re welcoming our friend Gonzalo Anatman from Samadhi Instruments to Sanctuary Hill for two beautiful offerings exploring sound and music.

🎶 Native American Flute Workshop | 10am–12pm
A two-hour immersion into the soulful world of the Native American flute.

Whether you’ve never played before or already have experience, Gonzalo will guide you into exploring breath, intuition and spontaneous music, without needing to read sheet music or worrying about getting it “right.”
Bring your own flute if you have one, or simply come along and explore.

🌿 Sound Journey | 6–8pm
In the evening, we’ll shift from making sound to receiving it.
Drawing on more than 20 years in music, alongside his meditation practice and instrument-making, Gonzalo will weave together live traditional instruments, electronic textures and nature recordings to create an immersive soundscape.

You’re welcome to join us for one offering or make a day of it and experience both.
For those travelling to join us, accommodation options are available at Sanctuary Hill, so you can stay immersed in the land and experience without needing to rush away.

TEEN SCHOOL HOLIDAY YOGA 🌿

A little space away from the pace of school, screens, sport and everyday demands.
These school holidays, we’re offering four yoga sessions at Sanctuary Hill created especially for teens, some to share with a parent, and some just for them.

With yoga, mindful movement, breathing and relaxation, teens will explore ways to move safely, work with tightness in the body, support recovery from sport, and find a little more ease in both body and mind.

No yoga experience needed. No need to be flexible. Just come as you are.

4 sessions:
Sept 28 — Mum & Daughter
Sept 30 — Just You: Girls
Oct 5 — Dad & Son
Oct 7 — Just You: Lads
🌿 Sanctuary Hill

Bookings & details: sanctuaryhill.co.nz

A gentle introduction to yoga as something they can take with them: on the sports field, at school, and into everyday life.

This buddy is heading into diving more into his own work, so unfortunately we won't be having Robbie every week showing us some fancy yoga moves.
Thanks mate for being part of our space. 🫶

Be sure to check what he is up to with his yoga classes in town and therapy sessions in Taranaki.

He might still pop around sporadically, you never know! ☘️🤔

This School Holidays we have this special program. We often have parents wanting to bring their teens to class, which they are welcome to join. But a space dedicated just for them makes it so much more fun.

Make some space to come together or have them come with a buddy so they can enjoy a little while of chill and zen.

Few spaces for each session, so don’t miss out 🌟

We are very much looking forwards to offering this next School Holidays 4 sessions where we will connect, move and feel good.
Specially for 11 to 15 year olds who are into sports and want to move well.
These sessions are to help you build safe movements out of linear movements typical of sports. Learn how to balance the demand with stretch, recovery and rest.
This will be easy, accessible sessions for you to take home basics of breathing and relaxation. Great for improving rest and focus!

Spaces still available 🌟

There are 4 spots left for this next Beginners Course 🧘‍♂️ We start Thursday at 5:30pm for 4 Weeks.

I would highly recommend starting or refreshing with a course where we talk about all the underlying things that very often (if not always) are left unspoken in a class.

What will you mostly learn: Body Awareness 👈
And what is body awareness?
Body awareness — learning to notice what your body is telling you.

Body awareness helps beginners:
》 notice what feels good and what doesn’t
》understand their own range of movement
》recognise when they’re pushing too hard
》make adjustments that suit their body
》build confidence and trust in themselves
