Happy practicing 🌜💫

Join me on Mondays at 10.20am to connect to your breath, body and true self. We open with pranayama (breathing practice), move through a sequence of asana (physical posture) and close with a short meditation. You will leave feeling grounded, nourished and ready for your week ahead.

Find me at the Waiheke Workout studio room on Poto Road (next to Dance Out Loud). Check out the class timetable here:

Namaste, friends! Welcome to my business page, Lorna Leah Yoga 🪷💫

Yoga has been integral to my life since my early 20s, and I finally trained as a teacher through Golden Flow Yoga in Takaka, 4 years ago. I begin each day by finding my breath with my pranayama practice, connecting to my body with yoga asana (physical posture) and grounding with a short meditation 🧘‍♀️

I feel so blessed to teach weekly here on beautiful Waiheke Island, where I live with my beautiful partner and baby boy. I have so much gratitude for the lovely people that practice with me every week, and also to those that stop in when they can 💜 check the next post for more information on joining us.

Yoga has deeply enriched and improved my body, wellbeing, and life. I would be honoured to walk side by side with you on your personal journey with yoga, to discover how it can enrich yours.

Namaste. 🙏
