Our Yoga Kāpiti
Jeannie began teaching Power Yoga in Whanganui.
She and her husband (and dog) moved to Waikanae in 2016 while their house was being built in Peka Peka. Their beautiful yoga studio opened on 1st August. Jeannie teaches Power Yoga & Yin Yoga.
A chartered accountant for more than 20 years, Jeannie found the stress of raising a blended family, managing her own business, looking after her clients, and supporting her disabled son were sometimes overwhelming. Stress can take a real toll on our wellbeing and can result in negative physical reactions and emotional turmoil.
By practicing yoga, Jeannie was able to address the stresses in her life in a calm and positive way. Physical activity releases endorphins (good chemicals), making us happier. Focusing on our breath helps us stay calm in times of tension by letting our body know that everything is okay, reducing the fight or flight reaction we sometimes have.
Through yoga, Jeannie found a real sense of peace. And, of course, she became fitter and more flexible. Sometimes, we get so much out of the practice of yoga ‘off the mat’, that the physical benefits we get from our time ‘on the mat’ are just an added bonus.
The changes were so significant and positive for Jeannie that she decided she must share the practice. So, she trained as a yoga teacher . . . and Our Yoga began.
Yoga is Jeannie’s passion, and she feels very fortunate to be able to share it with her new community on the Kāpiti Coast.
Call Jeannie if you’d like to find out more. If it goes to answerphone, just leave a message because she’s probably walking her dog Sascha on Peka Peka Beach. Otherwise, send an email to ouryogakapiti@xtra.co.nz.
