food for thought

If everyone practised Yoga

the world would be a better place

Yoga has changed my life and I want to help others experience the same.

Namaste, I’m Jenna—your Yoga Lady.
Yoga is my heart and soul. In 2019, I travelled to Rishikesh, India, intending to do a little yoga training—but after a week, I was hooked and completed my 200-hour YTT. Since then, I’ve continued deepening my practise, completing another 200-hour YTT locally and earning my E-RYT 200 certification in Ashtanga, Yin, and Classical Hatha Yoga.
In January 2024, I returned to Rishikesh for my 300-hour advanced YTT, then again in September 2024 for six months, spending four of those working closely with a pranayama master to deepen my breathwork practise. I also hold a sound healing certification, believing in the power of vibration to heal and transform.
With a BA in Psychology from Otago University (2018) and a background in fitness and Les Mills group training, I have always loved the mind-body connection. Now based between #SunnyDunedin, New Zealand, and Rishikesh, India I offer asana (postures), pranayama, sound healing, yoga retreats and yoga teacher training courses to guide you on your journey toward inner peace, strength, and transformation.

Starting yoga for the first time this year at 57, what was I mad!?

I saw a pamphlet, "Men’s yoga start up group" I thought I wouldn’t be the only useless one there so I went. And I am still going months later. It’s my time, my body, my inner peace, my reward and I love it. My body feels fit strong balanced and re-energised. Jenna guides us with confidence, says it will get there at your body's pace, classes often have laugh out loud moments which are priceless. Overall, it’s one of my favourite things to look forward to.

Yoga is not about touching your toes.
It is what you learn on the way down.
