Yoga Teachers
Meet Jo
I’m excited to be teaching yoga in my local community of Ngunguru. I took my first yoga class as an option at high school and have been hooked ever since. Yoga has been a constant for me in times of stress and continues to make a huge difference to my overall health and wellbeing. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Contemporary Yoga in Auckland and am loving continuing my yoga journey on the coast.
I am passionate about staying strong and supple as I age and creating a lifestyle to reduce stress and stay active. Yoga is also a great recovery from tennis, one of my other passions.
Vinyasa Class: Thursday 9:30 – 11am
Meet Dana
Dana’s yoga journey began in Germany when her physiotherapist recommended yoga to aid in healing an old knee injury. Beyond physical benefits, she quickly noticed profound shifts in her mind and overall well-being.
With a background in Social Anthropology, Dana has lived and travelled extensively across China, Southeast Asia, and India, immersing herself in diverse languages and belief systems.
Yoga certified in 2019 in Ireland, Dana now teaches classes enriched with mindfulness, body awareness, and meditation practices. Her ongoing studies in yoga nidra, pranayama, and Vipassana meditation shape her classes, creating a space for shared learning and transformation.
