ALL bodies Yoga Retreat where you will be welcomes & included wobbles & all! ...

Imagine the chance to REALLY get away, find space for yourself & also be with awesome people of ALL shapes and sizes!
A long weekend retreat for YOU to lap up the magic and spirit of Mana and Body Peace Yoga AND celebrate your body
In society, our everyday bodies are not represented in ‘wellness’ advertising
We don’t see ourselves in the images meant to entice you on a retreat
It’s become a monopolized visual bombardment of an unattainable, unrealistic, one kinda body type, shape, colour, and ability
and it DOES NOT INCLUDE all of us - not even CLOSE!
This can put you off or make you feel that you don’t belong
& THIS IS SO WRONG!!
I may not look exactly like you but I do represent a different image of what a ‘Yoga teacher’ usually looks like
Or what you might normally see as a Yoga Retreat host
With a wobbly belly, big boobs, a disability, & a generously sized derriere!
I’m your rebel Yogi, here to invite your unique body & mind to some Yoga retreat bliss where YOU feel you belong
Heck there are some poses I really can’t do & “meh, that’s OK, there’s enough I CAN do”
Sometimes I get pissed off when my big belly gets in the way & “meh, whatever”, I’ll do it differently
There are even some days that I hate the appearance of my body to the point of tears but “meh, that passes”
I create the space & give you the guidance to learn how to “meh” and enjoy life instead!
THIS is the Journey to Body Peace…Join me on it!

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!
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
I passionately advocate diversity and inclusion, no matter what ability, size, age or state you are in, you are welcomed and catered for!
I love to invite others on a ‘journey to body peace’ through gentleness, gratitude,encouragement and the framework of Yoga.
Yoga for All
Specialising in restorative and accessible Yoga for ALL. Inviting you - if you think you can’t ‘do Yoga’ to give it a go!
I just LOVE how a group of women gathering for a sacred retreat leave feeling connected, inspired AND with new friends
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 giggling, coffee and caramel slices!
I just LOVE how a group of women gathering for a sacred retreat leave feeling connected and inspired.
Prime Time TV!!
A little of my story shared on 7Sharp TV
I have a chat about overcoming adversity and 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! ❤️”
