ERIN

Hi I'm Erin, owner of Flourish and teacher. I've always been curious about the deeper layers of people and am a lifelong learner of Eastern and Western philosophies. As a previous psychology graduate, Youthline counselor, mental health and human resources worker, I help people feel safe and supported.

I am an IYTA diploma qualified and Yoga Alliance accredited Yoga Teacher with a Certificate 4 in Polarity Therapy from Nature Care College in Sydney and a breathwork facilitator. I've been practising yoga since my teen years and teaching yoga for the past 20 years, layering in other trainings such as fundamental matwork Pilates and barre. I love weaving together my unique blend of intuitive movement, breath, sound, touch, and meditative states to enable people to go within and experience the power of presence. Nourishing and transformative holistic bodywork one on one sessions are now available at the studio. Find out more and book

Now in my 50th year, I have navigated intense periods of change in my life and used this as the catalyst for my new Midlife Awakening - A 6 week course for women to find their way back to themselves with renewed hope and spark for living. Please contact Erin at hello@flourishwellnessnz.co.nz for more information and to put your name down for the next course early 2025.

A proud mother of 3 teenagers, I am at home in the kitchen and in the water, particularly enjoying swimming and surfing the wild waves of Raglan.

MARISA

Hi I'm Marisa. I became qualified as a Personal Trainer and Yoga Teacher in 2014.From the day I could run, I have been into exercising and playing sports, I was never one to sit still for too long!

I decided to become a PT because I wanted to turn my passion into helping others. At the same time I started my yoga training with a dear friend of mine who was a yoga teacher of 30 years.

Although I didn't practice yoga in my earlier years, I wish I had, as it has changed my life for the better. My practices have been in Iyenga, Hatha, Vinyasa and Ashtanga, loving them all, with my certificate of qualification in Hatha. I acknowledge that movement and keeping active has helped me immensely with my own physical and mental health.

When not in the studio you can usually find me being active with my other hobbies including golf, mountain biking, and swimming. I have 2 beautiful grown-up children and a loving supportive partner.

CLASSES TAUGHT: GENTLE FLOW YOGA, FULL BODY FUSION

RACQUEL

Hi I'm Racquel, dynamic barre instructor who is no stranger to the fitness world. I have always been an avid fitness enthusiast and have tried my hand at various forms of exercise over the years. I was an Olympian in Track Cycling in 2016. After my retirement from professional sport, I felt a little lost and it wasn't until I discovered barre that I truly found my newest passion.

I'm particularly passionate about teaching new people, as I believes that barre is a fantastic way for people to improve their fitness and overall well-being, regardless of their previous experience.

Always up for a challenge, I love to push my students to their limits in a supportive and encouraging way. I am constantly coming up with new and creative routines to keep my classes fresh and exciting.

When I'm not teaching barre classes, you can usually find me at my work as a Financial Advisor, exploring the great outdoors with my dogs and husband, or being a total couch potato (because rest is important, too!)

CLASSES TAUGHT: FOUNDATION BARRE, TONE BARRE, CARDIO BARRE

Kia ora, my name is Jaimee and I am a yoga teacher and personal trainer. I am a Yoga Alliance accredited vinyasa, yin and pre and postnatal yoga teacher, a NASM qualified personal trainer as well as having done mobility, breathwork, pelvic floor and pelvic pain courses.

I have a passion for movement, pelvic health and creating balance in body and mind, taking the lessons we learn about ourselves on our mat off our mats and onto our lives.

I am a māmā of three boys, so when I’m not teaching, practicing yoga or training, I am amongst the beautiful chaos that is raising strong and spirited sons.

SAM

Hi I'm Sam. Born and raised in Cambridge, I spent a month living in Rishikesh, India, the birthplace of yoga. There I completed my Yoga Teacher Training Certification, and I've been teaching locally ever since. Whether you're stepping onto the mat for the first time or looking to deepen your practice, I bring a unique blend of energy, experience, and mindfulness to every yoga class. I believe that yoga is for everyone and strives to make each class a space where students can connect with themselves and leave feeling rejuvenated.

Favourite yoga pose: Frog. When I'm not teaching yoga you might find me: Traveling, working on movie sets, creative writing.
