What intentions do you have this month?

It really, is amazing what can happen when you get clear about your intention. Seriously, I would LOVE to know.   I am genuinely interested in knowing what is important to you. In NLP one of the things we talk about is being clear on your outcome. Sometimes just telling someone else about your goal or intention helps you gain more clarity. Do you have a specific health goal? or an … [Read more...] about What intentions do you have this month?

Decluttering: Letting go of what is right to let go of …. now

Did you know that yogi have been talking about decluttering for about 5,000 years? Well, not in the same way we think about it, in terms of managing the copious amounts of consumables we find ourselves surrounded by now. But in a similar way. One of the aspects of yoga is a yama (which is essentially a moral guideline for our relationship with ourselves, others and the world in which we live) … [Read more...] about Decluttering: Letting go of what is right to let go of …. now

Perception is Projection

This is a useful idea that may or may not be true.... let's just play with it When you look at these flowers what do you see? I see uniqueness and beauty If, we accept the idea ..... "we don't see the world as it is. We see it as we are" ... then this must be true.... I am unique in my beauty Go on read those words one more time I am unique in my beauty Wishing a … [Read more...] about Perception is Projection

Inviting Openness into our Hearts

Today I finally got to meet the gorgeous yogini behind the beautiful ecomat that grace Yoga Circle floors. Coka from Yogatribe!!!! I was also blessed to be in her class this morning as we practiced inviting openness into our hearts. One of the many things I took from her session was to " go within and follow your own self within your practice. Not to simply follow others. You only know … [Read more...] about Inviting Openness into our Hearts

Do you believe in miracles?

Do you ever wonder if the universe has its own special plan for you and those you love? or if there more to those little coincidences? like signs along your path? I’ve been pondering it lately, thinking back to a time where things fell into place in a most unexpected way. It was about five years ago, and my beloved Oma had just suffered a serious stroke. The prognosis from the doctors after … [Read more...] about Do you believe in miracles?

My Prenatal Yoga Class Experience

I'd been wanting to start participating in a yoga class for a while, so when I found out that I had a little bun in the oven it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it a go. I soon discovered that there was a prenatal yoga class at Yoga Circle on Monday nights with Tonya. The class starts at 5.45 pm and runs for just over an hour. Prior to being pregnant I had always played indoor … [Read more...] about My Prenatal Yoga Class Experience

  • WHAUNU AROHA 
As we wind up for the end you the year. I'd like to say THANK YOU for being part of YOGA CIRCLE.

Together we are whaunu aroha. The circle is not complete with you.

Each time you like a FB or insta posts, or  comments and share your voice on the page you make a difference to the online space we share.

As you watch, read or listen. And even as you scroll past a post Yoga Circle it means we are somewhat connected and that YOU are part of this special Circle.

Which means of course ... I AM HERE AND I BELONG 
Some of us live in the same town  and our lives are set up in such a  way that we get to see each other and share time and space, face to face  every week,  sometimes three or more times a week. 
We get to move together, to breathe together,  to take to the time to  connect to ourselves and each other. 
In this special circle (online and face to face) we create balance  and enhance our lives in meaningful  ways with the love and support  that is Yoga. .. that is whaunu  aroha. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being part of it.

Wishing you all  a SAFE and joy-full  holiday. 
P.s Saturday 10.00am 22 December is the last class before Xmas. There will be a class 9.30am on Thursday 27th across he road at Mander Park. 
Tree house yoga on the 23rd December (pm me if you are keen). Normal timetable  resumes on the 6th of January

But keep an eye out on  social media. It's probably I'll sneak in a few sessions here and there 
Big loves
