"I have completed a 10 week yoga course with Linsey and it has proven to be the best health investment for me. My body -tinana is stronger and lithesome, my mind - hinengaro is clearer when our sessions end with a calming meditation, and my spirit -wairua is lifted with positive energy! It's a marvelous way to maintain a healthy Mauri. He kaiako mauri tau mōku. Ngā mihi maioha "
Carol Lallenec
"I attended the Hine-Ahu-One Retreat and found that Linsey facilitates in a gentle way, throughout which the yoga & stories weave an experience like nothing I have felt before. The Goddess Hine-Ahu-One is the focus and inspiration throughout the practice and the day. For a deeper dive into a relationship to your divine feminine, I recommend gifting yourself a day off from the World, your world, retreat and be present for whatever you may find "
Chrissy Heathorn
"I enjoy Linsey's calm, gentle, quiet, steadfast presence. I love how she is connecting with our own Atua wāhine and incorporating them into her yoga teachings and practices to help us activate our inner Goddess. The Retreat definitely delivered and then some! It was relaxing, uplifting and I left feeling invigorated and ready for the new year. I have found myself feeling more connected to, and comfortable with, my feminine energy. I’ve incorporated meditation into my daily routine and try to remember to stop and breathe during the day. I’ve noticed I’m calmer and more relaxed. I’ve stopped rushing. So, if you are looking for relaxation, calmness, harmony, and balance I highly recommend Linsey and Aroha Nui Yoga." "
Awhimai Reynolds
"Since starting yoga with Linsey, I’ve quit smoking, I’ve started eating better, feel motivated to be more active, and after each class I sleep like a baby. I’m doing better in my job and when I do have an off day, yoga helps me to regain perspective, reground myself and move on. I can’t begin to describe what a difference it has made to my life! I was worried before I started that I would feel self-conscious as I’m not in great shape but I needn’t have been. I love the fact that the classes are a very individual and personal experience without the need to look great in lycra. I would absolutely recommend these classes to anyone wanting to give it a go. "
Lisa Baxter
"While my weekly class is a refuge . . . an oasis . . . a time of unspoken sharing with others . . . and a place of unconditional restoration, it is the on-going benefits that most impact my life. I now find 'yoga' in everyday life - the little pearls of wisdom, encouraging comments I recall, reminders of what your body could do to help your mind 'sort and solve', the self-awareness . . . and of course the 'practice' when I manage to do it! For me Linsey is an inspiration. She models yoga in such a 'real' way and shares her knowledge with a quiet patience that is inclusive and kind, and that allows me to reflect peacefully in my own way. Thanks, Linsey, not just from the bottom of my heart . . . but from every part of my grateful mind and body! "
Michelle Hildreth
"I totally enjoyed the online classes. Such a bonus not having to leave the house! I enjoyed the way Linsey keeps me in the moment, staying connected and giving respect to each stretch, pose and breath... and I have the best sleep afterwards!"
Marion Leth
"I appreciate the classes as they help me to create greater work-life balance, before yoga with Linsey I was in need of more me time, dedicated to my self-care. I love the sessions with Linsey, she is a very experienced and empathetic teacher, and has such a calm demeanour! After each session I feel very relaxed and revitalised, centred and ready to face the world. I find yoga with Linsey to be therapeutic, calming and centring. I would highly recommend yoga with Linsey, for your physical and mental wellbeing, it is a must do every week to maintain your health!"
Jane Burmester
"Wow! What a powerful class! I felt firmly grounded yet somehow connected to the Universe simultaneously. The class was definitely 'potential in action', and I was amazed at the self-revelation of what I am capable of! Linsey skilfully reveals to you not only the abilities you already possess, but your potential to take your yoga practice to new heights, all while cultivating the energy of the class to bring the elements together in aligned flow. Much like the Magician, Linsey is the conduit converting spiritual energy into physical action. If you want to be inspired to 'level up' in your practice, then I highly recommend a class with Linsey at Aroha Nui Yoga. "
Jen B
"Thanks for another wonderful year of self-discovery and awareness. You have no idea just how much of an 'oasis' you create for me in class and how yoga anchors me in everyday living. I really do appreciate the practice AND, equally, the teacher!"
Michelle
"An experienced and dedicated teacher, Linsey brings her energy, training and presence to each class. Her soothing voice leads us through classes, sometimes vigorous and sometimes not vigorous, but always with a surprise or two. At the finish I am always amazed at my feelings of ease and inner peace. For me, stepping on to my mat is cause to breathe deeply and relax. Soon after I begin I notice my body relaxing and a feeling of letting go… There is no high stress or high demand and I can enjoy being where I am. The practice gives me a wonderful flow-on effect making me feel great for the rest of the day. "
Linda Unsworth
"I've loved Linsey's classes for years, and her studio has always been a wāhi tapu, a peaceful place where I have felt safe and protected. But I've been so impressed by how incredibly good Linsey is at delivering online classes. Although it's via zui, I still receive the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits, and I'm so grateful that I've been able to continue my practice. Having the recordings available is so helpful if there's a clash between zui! In all the uncertainty and change we are going through, knowing I can still access my yoga practice is a little anchor of stability: he toka tū moana, a rock standing firm in the sea. ""
