Lisa Morrison - learning to chill

There's so much in Lisa's story for women of our generation to relate to. Growing up in the '60s & '70s, we were taught that we could 'have it all' and 'do it all' but real life is so different. Problem is, unlearning all those messages and finding contentment in being is a hard road to walk. Luckily, we've got yoga to hold our hand.

Now, a few decades later, Rachel is passionate about teaching yoga, and can be found in a variety of locations around Dunedin city. … [Read more...]

Dunedin Bikram Yoga Teacher Donna Wikio

Donna has spent the last while living in Queenstown with her two children, and working at the Queenstown Bikram Studio. But small business beckoned, so she's headed over to Dunedin to open up her open Dunedin Bikram Yoga Studio - something that the yogis of Dunedin will no doubt be very excited about. The studio opened at the end of August 2009, in a space that was going to be an up-market gym. Fortunately for Donna, the gym never happened and she was able to lease the yoga-perfect space … [Read more...]
