Please welcome a visiting yoga teacher to our studio: Celine 🙏🏼.

Celine is a yoga and meditation teacher from Germany, currently based in Timaru. She teaches traditional Hatha and Yin Yoga, guiding gentle yet powerful classes that support grounding, healing, and deep inner connection. With her attunement to the feminine essence, she creates a nurturing space to slow down, trust, and reconnect with your true self.

Thanks for joining us for these few months, Celine!

Keep your eye out for Celine's special restorative classes in the lead up to Christmas.

Week 2 Trauma-Informed Yoga: public course

Today, in week 2 of our 8 week programme we explored movement, breath, and consciousness softening as an invitation, tuning into the body's 'yes' and 'no' in the moment.

When we've experienced trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, or panic attacks, our go-to response can be to 'check out', to disconnect.

In this course (which is body-based therapy, not exercise), we practice checking in rather than out, looking with compassion at our inner landscape in the moment and experimenting with various breathing, movement, and relaxation techniques that might feel helpful.

If this resonates with you, my next public TIY block will begin in Feb 2026 on Saturday mornings, and I'll have 10 spaces available.

Wishing you a lovely day.
Leigh 🙏🏼

Extended Exhale for Nervous System Regulation

Taking a moment to consciously soften and extend your exhale causes various psychological effects which can help you feel calm and grounded.
✨️Lowers heart rate
✨️Lowers blood pressure
✨️Lowers stress hormones

It only takes a few minutes:
1. Soften your belly and jaw.
2. Inhale deeply through your nose.
3. Exhale through softly rounded lips. Draw out the exhale as long as you can without tension.
4. Repeat 5 rounds.

Thanks to my model, Neena Marsden 💕

Saturday morning guided meditation with Leigh: Resting in inner spaciousness.

✨️9 - 10am
✨️Venue: The Portal, next door to Leigh Marsden studio.
✨️Nov 1, 15, 22, 29, Dec 6, 13

As we enter a busy time of the year, perhaps you'd like to take a moment each week to release your thoughts and rest in the peace and spaciousness within.

In this series of 6 meditations, I'll point you towards releasing attachment to identity, ideas, future, past, and simply Being.

To simply Be is your natural state. It is effortless, without goal or intention. There will be nothing to achieve, nowhere to go, no mountain to climb. No special breathing exercises or sound experiences. Simply being.

No experience is needed to join.

The meditation can be done from the chair or sitting on the mat. Each session will be around 45 minutes. Cushions/blocks available.

I will advertise each week. Please PM if you would like to join that week's session. Max 10 per session, min 4.

$8 per session, please. Cash or eftpos.

Please PM to join first session on 1 Nov.

Please note: This meditation series is instead of the proposed outdoor Qigong.

Namaste, Leigh 🙏🏼
