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. I’m also a certified Cermonial Cacao Facilitator, inducted into Reiki level 1, and trained in Kids Yoga Therapy. 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 self realisation, and further study Yoga and timeless texts such as the Course in Miracles and The Tao Te Ching, I discover that the answers to our questions can’t be found externally – therefore, 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.
It’s my teaching intention to always offer a heart-felt, safe and welcoming space that leads you to connect with 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.
Under the brand of Yoga Spirit, I offer private one-to-one and group sessions and open public studio classes. I also offer wellness workshops and experiences, events and retreats locally and internationally; 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 place that is Whanganui where I enjoy being outdoors in Mother Nature as much as possible.
I look forward to connecting with you.
