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.

This time of year can be a lot.
Busy, loud, beautiful… and sometimes heavy in ways people don’t talk about. For some, Christmas brings joy. For others, it brings stress, pressure, old wounds, or the ache of people who aren’t here anymore.

If this season feels messy, layered, or emotional for you, you’re not alone.
You’re allowed to slow down.
You’re allowed to feel everything that comes up.
You’re allowed to protect your energy.

Among all the noise and rushing around, don’t forget to bring some love back inward. The soft kind. The honest kind. The kind that doesn’t need to look perfect or festive.

Take a breath.
Check in with yourself.
Hold yourself the way you hold others.

And if this Christmas is a little different this year, that’s okay too. ❤️

We are still here just with reduced hours x
See you this evening 🦌

Today I had the privilege of spending the day at the marae, and I’m genuinely grateful for the experience. I was able to paddle on the waka, try weaving, make a poi and Kawakawa balm, while connecting with some incredible people.

Being on the marae felt grounding and replenishing. I felt welcomed, safe, and held in a way that allowed the noise of the outside world to fall away. Even as someone who isn’t born in Aotearoa or of Māori descent, I deeply appreciated the warmth, wisdom, and generosity shared with me.

I’ll carry this experience with me. From the moment I arrived, the energy was beautiful and sacred, and I left feeling lighter in my wairua. My cup is full, and I’m truly thankful for the knowledge, hospitality, and aroha shown to us today. Grateful beyond words for those that made this possible for me 🌬️🖤🍃

Our class was also 👌🏼

Every year I’m lost for words when we gather for our Xmas Yoga Brunch ❤️
This year felt extra special, we welcomed Sky, and this little loving cutie has completely taken over my world. It’s been chaotic at times, but every single one of you has welcomed him (and me) with so much love and patience.

In a saturated industry, where this is my full-time job and my livelihood, it’s not always easy to stay afloat. But I feel deeply blessed for everyone who shows up, stays, supports, and chooses this space. I’m not the fanciest, the prettiest, or the most flexible, and some days I’m exhausted but I truly love holding space and watching you all land on your mats.

Yoga became my whole life… with all its challenges… yet I end each day knowing that at least one person left feeling a little softer, a little more grateful, a little more connected to themselves. And that makes everything worth it.

I’d be lost without this community. I’m working hard on myself so I can keep evolving, keep showing up, and give more, to you, and to Sky.

A huge thank you to Kylie and Alison for teaching alongside me with so much skill, support, and patience. I honestly don’t deserve the kindness I receive from all of you, but I’m endlessly grateful for it. 🥹❤️

And before I forget ☝🏽 our Yogi of the Year!
This year it goes to Ian 👏👏
For being incredibly consistent, hardworking, and open. I’m in awe of how deeply he shows up for himself on the mat. No matter what life throws at him (or what the weather does!), he’s always there, always willing to grow. Absolute inspiration.

Thank you for another year together.
Meri Kirihimete ✨

PS: Remember I’m in training tomorrow so only a few classes and we’ve also kicked off our reduced schedule 🧘🏽‍♀️

Today… we don’t engage our glutes 🍑🤭🤣
Today, we relax, connect, and hang out while enjoying a lovely snack, meal, or drink together.

I’ve also been meaning to share this beautiful handmade card that our lovely gifted me a few weeks ago. I don’t think I’ve ever received something so detailed and heartfelt. Thank you again for the thoughtful card and gift bag, I feel genuinely honoured and grateful to know you, and to have you as part of our little community. It’s a privilege. 💛

Amy joined our Fiji retreat and it was such an adventure, coconuts, laughter, and the kind of deep, meaningful connections we’ll be enjoying again today.

Today is about celebrating all of you, for your commitment to your mind and body, for showing up even when it’s cold, when you’re tired, or when life feels heavy.
I always say that offering yoga is my way of giving you tools to cope with life… to help us be better at being ourselves, so we can be better to others too. This little world we’ve built fills my heart daily.

I can’t wait to see you all looking cute, with fully relaxed glutes, and to share a moment together.

All the info is in your newsletter. If you’re planning to come but hadn’t RSVP’d, just let me know, we can always update the booking.
See you off the mat soon! ✨

🧘🏽‍♀️ 🍑 🥳

🐾 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!

🧘🏽‍♀️ Yoga Bingo has officially begun!

This isn’t about competing or pushing harder, it’s about exploring your wellbeing, connecting with the studio, and discovering new ways to care for yourself.

You’ll get the chance to try new classes, connect with others, and maybe even win some fun prizes along the way (first line and full card both count 😉).

Pick up your bingo card at the studio and start whenever you’re ready, it’s all about showing up for you.

Let’s play, grow, and have some fun with it 🌿✨

👻 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! 🤭

29/10/2025

🕯️ 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? 👀

🕸️ Sky has his outfit ready 👻 🐾

27/10/2025

🎉🐾 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!

22/10/2025

UPDATE 🌦️

Our only class scheduled for today is at 12:00 pm, unless we experience major changes in the next hour.

We’ve decided to cancel the evening classes to avoid unnecessary travel and any risks.

But this evening, you could instead… 💛
•Finish sorting out your Haunted Flow outfit for next weekend’s class 👻
•Unpack (for those who joined our Fiji retreat) 🏝️
•Do a little facial treatment, I love honey + turmeric 👌🏼
•Take a nap 😴
•Finally finish that craft project that’s been waiting in the drawer 🎨
•Check your pantry and clear out any expired supplies 🧂
•Catch up on our newsletter to make sure you haven’t missed anything important 💌

Your safety is always our top priority.
All classes on Friday are scheduled as usual. 🙏✨

Hello yogis,
We’ve just been declared under a state of emergency due to the strong winds expected to hit our city.
For now, our classes are still on 🙌🏽 but your safety always comes first. 💛
If you prefer to cancel or reschedule, please just reach out and I’ll make sure you’re looked after.
Stay safe, stay grounded, and keep an eye on updates
