Your teacher  

Kia ora,

My name is Linsey and I have over 2 decades experience teaching yoga and running retreats, wānanga and workshops.

I have trained in Hatha, Integral, and Restorative Yoga. I also have training in Mirimiri - traditional māori bodywork, māori healing, rongoā and ayurveda.

My classes are trauma- informed, and aroha infused.  

I am passionate about helping wāhine to shine and feel their best. 

Arohanui,

Linsey x 

Testimonial  

 

"I’ve been so impressed by how incredibly good Linsey is at delivering online classes.

 

I receive all the physical, emotional, mental & spiritual benefits, without leaving the house, and I’m so grateful…

 

Having the recordings available is so helpful if there’s a clash between commitments and I can't make it to the Live session.

 

In all the uncertainty & change we’re 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.'"

Yoga for Wāhine Wellbeing

 

When wāhine are well we are able to give from our own kete, support those around us, our families, our communities, and the causes we believe in.

 

This course comes to you from Aotearoa - The land of the long white cloud - New Zealand.

 

It is gently adorned with easy to follow te reo māori, the māori language, and our approach is trauma informed, and healing/ aroha focused.

 

 

It is a beautiful course that nourishes your mind, body, spirit and manawa/ heart - and that is why it's our beating heart here at Aroha Nui Yoga.

 

It is perfect for you if you are seeking greater wellbeing and balance, and stress relief, from the comfort of your own home.

 

It goes beyond perfecting poses and nourishes EVERY part of you.

 

This course is designed for greater  peace, balance and wellbeing.

 

No expectations. No pressure. Just breath, movement, and soft, steady care.

 

This course gives you:

 

  • Reduced effects of stress on the body and mind 

 

  • Improved mental clarity

 

  • Increased physical strength, flexibility and range of motion

 

  • Improved posture and balance, and reduces the risk of injury.

 

  • Develops a greater sense of self-awareness, and connection to your body, mind, and wairua/ spirit.

 

  • Gives you the gift of self-care for your benefit - and the benefit of those around you

 

  • Helps you stay on track to meet your health and wellbeing goals

 

Because Aroha Nui Yoga is holistic, it benefits all of you. Each side or taha of your wellbeing is impacted by this course, and these beautiful practices. 

 

After 15 years of teaching, I am still amazed at how profoundly relaxed and at ease participants are by the end of each session.

 

It is accessible, regardless of your level of flexibility, age or fitness level. The class is small to allow for individual needs.

 

Yoga for Wāhine promotes holistic wellbeing - wellbeing of the mind, body and wairua/ spirit - so that every area of your life benefits.

 

With online yoga there's no more rushing to classes only to arrive late, stressed, or miss the class altogether. 

There’s no need for expensive workout gear or equipment.

 

Recordings mean you never need to miss your weekly class again - and you can do your favourites over again as many times as you like.

 

This course is a fabulous tool for your wellbeing kete.

Testimonials - 

 

"After a session both my mind and body are very relaxed.

 

In the evening the sessions help me to unwind and rest, I love lying on my mat, under a blanket, feeling safe, warm and nurtured by your soothing voice.

 

It helps me to go into relax/ sleep mode at night, but time out during the day is also divine!

 

From a mental perspective I feel that the meditation has enhanced my focus.

 

I like how you bring a 'sankalpa' or resolve, into the session, to confirm a change I would like to manifest in my life, this has helped to carry me forward in everyday life.

 

I value the teachings so much! And I'm so glad I can attend classes from home!"

 

- K.R

 

 

 

"I would highly recommend this programme to anyone wanting to practice yoga at home, in a way they can adapt to their busy life.

 

I really benefit from the sense of calm, relaxation and breath awareness and gently stretched muscles and joint movements, and I always have a much better sleep after doing a session. "
