Emma's thoughts on Well Being:

I think our wellbeing is made up of lots of small actions that accumulate to create enhanced wellbeing. But to pick one.. a really great tool for me has been becoming more Aware. If we can bring awareness to our thoughts by noticing and observing them, rather than getting caught up in them, we can change our perspective and begin to manage our "Monkey Minds" with a little more peaceful ease. This will lead on to awareness in our emotions, words, and actions so we can be more in line for a happier life.

Yamin's thoughts on Well Being:

I make sure I do some form of physical movement at least an hour a day, whether it's Pilates, Yoga, or a walk on the beach. It makes my day complete.

Steph discovered Bikram Yoga in Newmarket over 15 years ago. She completed Bikram Teacher Training in LA and then taught for several years before adding Vinyasa and Yin Yoga to her teaching resume. After this, Steph moved to Mount Maunganui where she ran a hot yoga studio for 7 years.

​

Steph's thoughts on Well Being:

​The #1 thing I do for well being - besides yoga! Allowing myself time to slow down and just be. Honouring the days when I need to rest and not feeling guilty when I say "no" to others.

Matt's thoughts on Well Being:

A consistent practise of qigong, pranayama, and meditation. These are the anchors for my life. It’s important, no matter how I’m feeling, to get some practise in every day, no matter how small. Once I’m done I’m always thankful to have shown up for myself.
