I would like to introduce myself as the new owner of the Yoga Sanctuary and a long-time Mairangi Bay resident.

I’ve always known Yoga Sanctuary being in this location and part of the local community.

Did you know that Yoga Sanctuary is over 20 years old? I look forward to the opportunity to nurture the business for another 20 years  or longer and build on from the work of past owners Denise and Natasha.

I’ve always been interested in health and wellness and practiced Yoga on and off since my late teens. Yoga is a practice that supports you at various stages of life when you need to find space and balance.

It only takes about 6 to 12 weeks of regular yoga practice to start feeling the benefits, from increased mental and physical energy, a boost in alertness with fewer negative feelings. Yoga Sanctuary is like a supportive friend, there to greet you with a warm embrace. Our teachers will guide you on your journey to life’s full potential, a world free from aches and pains where time stands still.

Keep a look out on the Yoga Sanctuary website for the return of regular workshops. These will include sessions for those who are new to Yoga and would like to be expertly guided through Yoga basics.

In the future Yoga Sanctuary will partner with my other business, Shore Travel (a Travel Agency based in Milford), to offer overseas Yoga retreats.  In the meantime, we have the annual Mana retreat in the Coromandel for those who enjoy a weekend of me-time with like-minded people in this serene, beautiful location.  The next retreat is 3-6 April 2025.

I look forward to seeing you at the studio.
