Yoga Spirit I’m also a certified Cermonial Cacao Facilitator, inducted into Reiki level 1, and trained in Kids Yoga Therapy. See www.yogaspirit.co.nz for more.

Yoga Spirit offers a safe and welcoming space that awakens you to the true light and wholeness within – so you can expand and grow, so you ride the waves of life more smoothly, and so you can be a force of good in the world. Hi there, I'm Simone...

…a yogini, yoga and meditation teacher, Ayurveda wellness lover, cacao facilitator, communications freelancer, Mother…all just labels, but a dedicated student of life without a doubt. Over the last decade I’ve practiced, studied and learnt from some amazing humans in the industry to certify as an advanced Level 2 Yoga Teacher in Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Hatha Tantra, Yin Yoga and Meridians, Mindfulness, Vinyasa Krama, Anatomy and Biomechanics, Vedic Philosophy, Yoga Sutras, Pranayama, Mantra, Meditation, Ayurveda, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra. Today, my teachings are informed by modern movement and biomechanics practices, as well as the wisdom originating from the great ancient sages of the East. Particularly Vedic philosophy, Tantra Hatha, and Ayurveda, natural scientific systems for living that has enriched my life over the last decade, and which I feel compelled to share with you. As I delve deeper into this rich path of awakening, I discover that the answers to our questions can’t be found externally, and therfore I believe the greatest work we can do is the work on ourselves. The more that we look inwards, the more opportunity we have to connect to realise why we are here and what matters most. Under the brand of Yoga Spirit, I offer private one-to-one and group sessions, and open Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga classes each week at my Whanganui-based city studio. I also offer wellness workshops and experiences, events and retreats, often in collaboration with other light workers and practitioners that I have been lucky enough to connect with on my journey. After living in big cities and travelling abroad for almost 20 years, I’m very blessed to anchor my roots (along with my family) to the smaller, yet beautiful and sacred place that is Whanganui.

Winter Stillness: Yin, Rest & Renewal
❄️ 4:00 – 5:15pm

75-Minute Traditional Chinese Medicine Yin Yoga Journey

As winter settles across the land, nature invites us to slow down, conserve our energy, and turn inward. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is associated with the Kidney and Bladder meridians — the energetic pathways linked to our deepest reserves of vitality, resilience, wisdom, and rest.

This nourishing 75-minute Yin Yoga practice offers a sanctuary from the busyness of daily life. Through a series of long-held, floor-based Yin and restorative postures, we will gently target the deeper connective tissues of the body while stimulating the Kidney and Bladder meridians. As the body softens, the nervous system is invited to unwind, creating space for stillness, reflection, and renewal.

Infused with mindfulness, breath awareness, seasonal wisdom, and ancient yogic teachings, this class is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and honour the quieter rhythms of winter. Suitable for all levels, modifications and props will be offered to support you wherever you are in your practice.

Our journey will conclude with a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra and Savasana (Co**se Pose), often described as “yogic sleep.” Resting comfortably and effortlessly, you’ll be guided into a state between waking and sleeping where the body can deeply restore, the mind can settle, and the heart can return home to itself. This final practice offers an invitation to release what no longer serves and replenish from a place of profound inner stillness.

Leave feeling grounded, nourished, and reconnected to the quiet wisdom within.

✨ Brrrrr WINTER has arrived in Whanganui and so too has my winter-aligned Yin Yoga practice on Thursday evenings!❄️🕯️

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is the season of the Kidney and Bladder meridians, the energetic pathways connected with our deepest reserves of vitality, resilience, adaptability and inner calm. When these energies become depleted, we may notice feeling fearful, exhausted, rigid or stuck both physically and emotionally. Yin Yoga offers the perfect antidote.

🌿 Join me Simone, each Thursday evening for a deeply nourishing 75-minute Yin Yoga practice that I design to support you as we move through the seasons. Through long-held, supported postures, mindful breath and stillness, we'll gently encourage the free flow of Qi, soften tension, improve mobility and cultivate a sense of ease and wellbeing from the inside out.

✨ This is your invitation to:
💙 Nourish your Kidney energy
💙 Support your Bladder meridian
💙 Release stiffness and tension
💙 Calm the nervous system
💙 Build resilience and inner steadiness
💙 Honour the natural rhythm of winter

The Whanganui Yoga Centre where all classes are held will be warm and welcoming, with heaters, soft fairy lights and for this winter season with me, the gentle glow of candlelight creating the perfect sanctuary to unwind at the end of your week. 🕯️✨

🧘 All props and equipment are provided. Just bring yourself and let yourself be held by the practice. Suitable for all levels including pregnancy.

📍 Thursdays
🕠 5.30–6.45pm
📍 Whanganui Yoga Centre
