Being Yoga Creative - Accessible Yoga
Focused in youth development, kids big kids and creativity, building community in a fun creative way. Why? Kotte

Yoga By Kotte will surprise you! Because is fresh innovative and most importantly, its fun! Yoga by Kotte will prove you don’t need to be physically fit, flexible, skinny, spiritual or young to be able to practice yoga. Many people think that yoga is just stretching, while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This is done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits. My unique style allows you to feel comfortable while enjoying the experience giving you a sense of achievement and satisfaction, no matter what your experience in yoga is. During the class you’re guaranteed to enjoy what you are doing, feel the freedom and experience. At the end of a session, you will feel excited and perhaps surprised at your own results. This will give you a great reason to come back! Mixing traditional Vinyasa yoga flow with an authentic way of leading your classes, I want you to enjoy a very unique experience every time, allowing yourself to play and enjoy the elements added to the class which will help you learn how to treat your body and mind in a different way. I am a professionally trained yoga teacher with a passion for sharing and teaching others. I host yoga sessions at entertainment events and festivals around New Zealand. I am available for private group and 1:1 session either in the comfort of your own home or office or in a studio. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want more information or if you have any questions. I teach yoga at various sites around Christchurch each day and I’m bound to be practicing near you. There are no excuses for not wanting to look and feel better so why not come and give yoga a go! Keep an eye out on my page for up-to-date class timetable and information.

🐾 A Message from Sky !

Hi yogis! Sky here🐶✨
I’ve been thinking… I’m one lucky pup. I have a warm bed, full belly, cuddles on demand, and lots of humans who tell me I’m a good boy even when I zoom around like a tornado.

But not every doggo has that.

So this year, I asked my human if we could help my furry friends who are still waiting for safety, love, and a home. And guess what? We’re doing a special donation for ! ❤️🐾

We’re collecting food, not money, because I know times are tough and things are expensive. Instead, we want to inspire everyone to pause during this busy season of buying and remember what really matters: kindness, connection, and caring for those who can’t ask for help themselves.

If you’d like to join us, here’s what the shelter needs most:
🦴 Dry dog food
🐕 Canned dog food
🐾 Puppy food

Every little item makes a big difference. Even one can of food means a full tummy.
Let’s spread love together this year, one wag, one item, one act of kindness at a time.

Love,
From Sky Zen ☁️ 🐶💛

Until the 20th of December!

👻 Haunted Flow was so much fun!!
We laughed, we moved, we learned lots about trikonasana ( triangle pose) and some lucky yogis even took home prizes 🎃💛

Thank you to everyone who joined in (costumes or not!) and brought such good energy to the mat. It was spooky, silly, and honestly just super cute.

Already looking forward to the next one… Sky and I are already brewing our next outfit! 🤭

🕯️ Haunted Flow is happening this weekend 👻

It’s that time of year again… when the studio lights dim a little lower and things get a tiny bit spooky.

Join us for Haunted Flow, a special edition of our regular Saturday 10am class, all same same, just with a few ghostly twists 👀

If you’re feeling playful, come dressed up, we’ll have prizes for the best costumes (and yes, yoga in a witch hat is encouraged).
But if you’d rather to just move, that’s perfectly fine too, no problem! You can help us find the spookiest winning fits!

It’s all about having fun, shaking off the week, and flowing with a little extra Halloween magic or darkness I shall say? 👀

🎉🐾 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY SKY! 🐾🎉

That’s right ! Sky is officially one year old! 🩵

In such a short time, he’s gone from a clumsy intern to the undisputed boss of the studio. 👑
His leadership style? Equal parts naps, cuddles, and chaos.

His KPI’s?
✅ Quality control on every yoga mat (via fur testing)
✅ Emotional support for all humans
✅ Loud snack supervision

Sure, he’s not great at his job when he’s asleep on the job (which is… often 😴), but we can all agree… the studio wouldn’t run without him. 🥰

Here’s to our four-legged CEO, master of downward dog, and the true spirit behind every smile in class. 🧘‍♀️💫

Come and have cake with us 🎂 as we celebrate this cutie today!

Fiji was the perfect place for a reset 🌺 quite literally!
We’re back, and our normal schedule kicks off tomorrow 🧘🏽‍♀️

Huge thank you to , Delia, JJ, and the entire team for taking such good care of us. Your kindness and support made all the difference.

It’s hard to believe we’re already back, but what an experience it was. So much of what we shared will live quietly in our hearts and personal memories, but the bond and energy we created together is undeniable.

From the depth of my tender heart, ♥️ thank you for diving so deeply into the experience.
Your willingness to lead with self-love and radical kindness was truly food for the soul.

As your host, you may not realize how much this journey transformed me too. But it did.
I’m not the same, and it’s because of each and every one of you.
You helped me tap further into what my heart desires. I love you all so much, and I’m beyond grateful we shared this.

I’m also incredibly proud and honestly, a little giddy!
You showed up, you made space, and you made time… and I feel like a total badass for being part of your journey 💥

Now let’s carry that spark forward.
Keep being a miracle. Be your absolute best self. Clap clap 💁🏽‍♀️

And to the rest of the tribe, see you all tomorrow! x

Top Up Your Cup🧡Mental Health Awareness

Last night we gathered for dinner, something we’ve been doing for over a decade. These evenings have always been one of the best parts of our community.

For me, community is one of the most important pillars of wellbeing. Being able to show up as we are, co-exist safely, and support one another is essential for every age and stage of life.

In my work, it’s never just about numbers. I want to create spaces where kindness, compassion, and genuine care are the foundation. Where people feel seen, valued, and appreciated, never for how flexible they are, but for who they truly are.

Wellbeing goes far beyond a pose or a practice. It’s about improving quality of life, growing in confidence, accepting ourselves, and realising that our presence makes a difference in the world, because YOU MATTER 💕

Last night reflected that so beautifully, we had Poppy and Sky (our four-legged friends), a yogi with her daughter (who loved having fluffy friends!) , and we farewelled our yogi Caitrina with so much love.
It was a diverse group of amazing humans, all gathered together in connection, kindness, too much laughter and celebration of what truly matters.

I feel privileged to witness people thrive when they’re surrounded by community that uplifts them, and I’m grateful to continue building this together. 💛 If you’re looking for a space like this, you’re always welcome to join us, as you are.

(Only photo where all eyes are open 🤣)

One of the things I’m most proud of is that people don’t just come to a class once and leave, they stay, they grow, and they build practices that become part of their everyday lives.

For more than a decade, I’ve been teaching yoga in a way that’s not about perfection, but about creating strong, lasting habits of wellbeing. Again and again, I’ve seen students come in searching for calm or strength and leave with so much more, community, resilience, self-trust, and the ability to carry these tools into every part of life.

It’s the greatest privilege to witness that transformation. To hear someone say yoga has become a grounding force in their week, or that it’s given them the courage to face challenges differently, those moments remind me why I love this work so much and all of you! You’re my daily inspiration, ok fine! You share that spot with Sky 🐶

Here’s to many more years of building practices that last, together and to community dinner for our members
🧘🏽‍♀️ 💕 🍕
