Here is a wee snippet of the cute, cosy, and comfy accommodation at Te Wahi Ora….

If we haven’t met…

Hi! I’m Jen!

I’m an experienced & qualified Yoga teacher & retreat facilitator passionate about the powerful practise of Yoga, including mindfulness, breathing & meditation.

I am committed to providing yoga for ALL shapes, sizes & abilities.

I live in a curvy body and also use a prosthesis device so I can live pain-free from my ankle disability. I know how to adapt yoga classes because I’ve LIVED it!

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

 

I passionately advocate diversity and inclusion, no matter what ability, size, age or state you are in, you are welcomed and catered for!

I love to invite others on a ‘journey to body peace’ through gentleness, gratitude,encouragement and the framework of Yoga. 

 

Yoga for All

Specialising in restorative and accessible Yoga for ALL. Inviting you - if you think you can’t ‘do Yoga’ to give it a go!

I just LOVE how a group of women gathering for a sacred retreat leave feeling connected, inspired AND with new friends

 

I’m just a normal kiwi woman!

With an open heart and fierce passion for Yoga!

When I’m not gently & expertly guiding you to trust your inner wisdom, be in the moment, deeply relax, breathe with ease & know you are so worthy…

I love to catch as many awe-inspiring sunrises as possible! 

Walking in nature & being with family & friends are my simple life’s pleasures - along with giggling, coffee and caramel slices!

I just LOVE how a group of women gathering for a sacred retreat leave feeling connected and inspired.


Prime Time TV!!

A little of my story shared on 7Sharp TV

I have a chat about overcoming adversity and becoming a Yoga Teacher even though I felt my body was ‘not right’ for Yoga…or anything really

That all changed!

I want you know that we ALL belong on the yoga mat!


That class was delicious! Jen caters for every body, offering alternatives for all her movements. There is no pressure, no judgement - acceptance and love are what this gorgeous woman brings to her practice, encouraging her students to make it their own. I love this yogi - she’s my yogi! ❤️
