Yes please, book me in!
As a larger lady with bung knees I thought that yoga was not possible for me and your classes have changed that. I love that I never feel inadequate or embarrassed about things I can’t do or need to do differently. On top of that I love what a calm and positive experience Monday nights are - it puts me in a good mood!

If we haven’t met…

Hi! I’m Jen!

I’m an experienced & qualified Yoga teacher & retreat facilitator passionate about the powerful practise of Yoga, including mindfulness, breathing & meditation.

I am committed to providing yoga for ALL shapes, sizes & abilities.

I live in a curvy body and also use a prosthesis device so I can live pain-free from my ankle disability. I know how to adapt yoga classes because I’ve LIVED it!

 

I passionately advocate diversity and inclusion, no matter what ability, size, age or state you are in, you are welcomed & catered for!

I love to invite others on a ‘journey to body peace’ through gentleness, gratitude, encouragement, & the framework of Yoga. 

 

Yoga for All

Specialising in restorative & accessible Yoga for ALL. Inviting you - if you think you can’t ‘do Yoga’ to give it a go!

Educating that Yoga is NOT primarily a physical practise - there is so much more to it and so much you can do even with a ‘broken’ body!

 

I’m just a normal kiwi woman!

With an open heart and fierce passion for Yoga!

When I’m not gently & expertly guiding you to trust your inner wisdom, be in the moment, deeply relax, breathe with ease & know you are so worthy…I love to catch as many awe-inspiring sunrises as possible! 

Walking in nature & being with family & friends are my simple life’s pleasures - along with traveling, giggling, coffee & caramel slices!

I just LOVE how a group of women gathering for a sacred retreat leave feeling connected & inspired.

 

Prime Time TV!!

A little of my story shared on 7Sharp TVNZ where I chat about overcoming adversity & becoming a Yoga Teacher even though I felt my body was ‘not right’ for Yoga…or anything really

That all changed!

I want you know, that we ALL belong on the yoga mat!


That class was delicious! Jen caters for every body, offering alternatives for all her movements. There is no pressure, no judgement - acceptance and love are what this gorgeous woman brings to her practice, encouraging her students to make it their own. I love this yogi - she’s my yogi! ❤️
