I would like to introduce myself as the 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.
Supporting local communities has always been important to me, and when the opportunity arose to purchase The Yoga Sanctuary, I wanted to ensure this long-standing business continued to thrive as part of the Mairangi Bay community. I also own Shore Travel in Milford, where the same ethos guides us: providing trusted, personal service to meet the needs of local customers.
Health and wellness has been a lifelong passion. I began practicing yoga in my late teens and have made it an integral part of my lifestyle ever since. I believe yoga is for everyone—it strengthens the body, increases flexibility, and supports mental wellbeing, all of which are essential for long-term health and vitality.
In today’s fast-paced world, yoga also offers something we all need: the chance to pause, be present, and connect with like-minded people. The Yoga Sanctuary is a welcoming, non-judgmental space for all levels. If you’ve never tried yoga, come and visit us—your first class is always free.
