Hi there

Blue Ocean Yoga will be having a guest instructor to lead our classes this weekend - Please welcome Freda Wells

Freda first experienced yoga at the age of 18 in an old church in Belgium and has continued her personal practice ever since! This year, she completed her 200-hour yoga certification with Nico Luce and has begun her journey as an instructor.

It brings calm, balance, strength, mobility, and clarity to body and mind - and a lifetime of learning. She's excited to share her love of yoga and help her students feel great!

The first class will be a 60 min yoga class at the Aro Valley Community Center at 9 am and the second will be a 75 min yoga class at the Brooklyn Community Center at 10.30 am.
