She was instantly hooked and quickly took up a regular practice. A year later and she was off to Bikram Teacher Training in Los Angeles in 2011. Stephanie initially started teaching on the Gold Coast in Australia before returning to Auckland and teaching in various studios there for several years. During that time she also trained in Vinyasa & Yin Yoga. In 2015 Stephanie bought the Mount Yoga studio in Tauranga and taught and ran the studio for the past 6 years. She now joins us at Yippie Yopi to share her love of yoga with the Napier community. As a teacher, Stephanie believes, “if she can help you catch a glimpse of the way this yoga practice can change your life, then she has done her job”. https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/meghann-rowling daily 0.75 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/7f0c767d-8d80-4fd4-af24-eadb0f8f4547/spine-tsits-pic-2-scaled.jpg Meghann Rowling - Meghann Rowling In 2007 Meghann went to her first Bikram class in London and from that moment she was hooked! “I absolutely love the heat, the familiarity of the sequence and the ability to use breath to control my mind. I’ve always found comfort in the 26&2 hot yoga class. It doesn’t matter how bad my day has been, I always leave the class feeling better. It is a healing 90 minutes. A period of open eyed meditation where you have no option other than to focus on yoga and your breath. It gives your mind some peace, while strengthening and toning your body. I love it”. https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/olivia-leckie daily 0.75 2021-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/e1436ff1-06e8-4782-8293-fe937ef03ee7/myn-sm-2645.jpg Olivia Leckie - Olivia Leckie Yoga Teacher Olivia took her first hot yoga class in 2011. Earlier that same year she had been training in Kung Fu in China in the middle of winter in the freezing cold and had been dreaming about hot yoga. Her first class did not disappoint and like many other practitioners, she knew instantly that hot yoga was something she needed. “Yoga has helped to keep me fit and healthy over the years but even more importantly it has calmed my mind and that calmness is starting to spread to other aspects of my life. This peace of mind is what I wish for all practitioners, on and off the mat. I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a strong community. Yoga is a personal practise but it also creates such unity between different people. We are lucky to have such a diverse and caring group of people in our community.” https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/introductory-offer daily 0.75 2025-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/339ab547-dac8-48d4-beb1-996b373fe6d4/Green-Image-3.jpg Introductory Offer - Intro Pass This is always available for those who are new to the studio.

As a teenager she broke both tibia and fibular bones in her left and right legs and as a result struggled a long time with running, jumping, balancing and depression. “I was introduced to Bikram yoga by a friend in my mid 20’s and like most people my first class was pretty overwhelming. But I did go back for a second time and have never looked back. This yoga not only helped strengthen my muscles and improve my balance, but it also helped with my depression and general well-being – I’ve never felt better! I became a teacher in 2012 so I could share with others what this yoga has done for me. Yoga will always be part of my life as well as the lifelong friends I’ve made along the way and the awesome community I’m now a part of!” https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/lee-davies daily 0.75 2021-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/1f342993-f63a-4fb7-8c0f-6aa99e03d261/awards-grey-box-large.jpg Lee Davies - Lee Davies Yoga Teacher Introducing, Lee Davies. “I have been part of the Yoga family since 2008. I had never done any yoga before starting this practice and quickly fell in love with it. It has shaped me into the person I am today. My attitude, the way I approach life and my whole mental wellbeing has changed. I love the person I am today. In 2021, after practicing for 12 years, I was lucky enough to attend an OHY teacher Training. I loved learning more about the benefits of practicing yoga . It’s perfect. I love teaching and love sharing my learning with our yogis.” https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/lauren-albans daily 0.75 2021-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/b9ccd072-6556-4dda-b6b9-7b8f1c0efba4/IMG_4606.jpg Lauren Albans - Lauren Albans Yoga Teacher Lauren completed her 100h Yin yoga teacher training in 2021 where she found a passion for providing safe compassionate space holding through her mental health informed lens training.

That path led to her current role as a Production Manager within the manufacturing industry… a career she describes as ‘stress city!’ To manage the stress Yvonne took up walking, eventually competing in a number of half, full and ultra- marathons. In March 2023 she completed her 10th Oxfam 100km trail-walker. With all the walking and tramping she felt the need to start stretching and strengthening her muscles. Add to this the hormonal changes that come at a certain time in one’s life (joy joy!) Yvonne had an even greater need to relax her mind. Seven years ago she walked into her first Bikram class and was hooked, she hasn’t looked back! Two years ago she was introduced to ‘Hot Hiit Pilates’ by Meghann and Olivia. This led to Yvonne completing her ‘Hot Hiit Pilates’ teacher training in March 2023. Despite the training pushing her right out of her comfort zone, Yvonne is loving teaching. She has a particular interest in Pilates as medicine for the mature practitioner and for its ability to help with hormonal challenges. https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/alison-brady daily 0.75 2023-06-07 https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/kere-heperi daily 0.75 2023-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/80c138a2-6075-4a4f-a428-9e5f8fc32368/IMG_7684.JPEG Kere Heperi - Kere Heperi Yoga Teacher I walked into my first Bikram class in 2011 thinking it was going to be really easy compared to the Muay Thai training that I loved so much… In this I was unprepared for reality, I struggled with the heat, to regulate my breath and collapsed out of the poses. I came away from this experience humbled but feeling lighter, happier and with a desire to explore more. Since then I haven't looked back. It has always been my place to calm and heal myself in my mind, body and spirit. I’ve gone through alot of phases in my life and also in my own practice. What I love about the Bikram method is that no matter where you take a class and wherever the body is, the sequence of postures are the same. I trained to teach in 2021 with OHY teacher training in Queenstown under Donna Wikio and my teaching journey began. It is important to me that people trust in the process and optimize their experience in the room, herein, naturally the benefits and healing happen. https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/michelle-sankey daily 0.75 2023-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/cc3d94f0-0c47-414c-955e-81551bcb2738/FB_IMG_1686130152118+%281%29.jpg Michelle Sankey - Michelle Sankey Yoga Teacher I love all styles of Yoga but by far the most personal benefits I have experienced is with Bikram hot yoga. I had been an active person all my life, martial arts was my main sport, achieving my belt belt in Kung fu, I also practiced gymnastics regularly and Ashtanga Yoga with Peter Sanson weekly, I was very fit, flexible and agile but in 2017 after my second baby via emergency C-section my core was severely weakened and I then had a serious spine injury which left my right leg completely paralyzed. At age 36 I had to use a Zimmer frame to be able to hop around It took a year to be able to walk again fully but I still lived with chronic pain daily and had lost almost all movement in my spine. I started attending hot yoga classes weekly after a friend suggested it for my back. Stiffness and pain meant my ability was very low to begin with but I was told by the teacher "work to the body you have on the day" so I did. I persevered and slowly saw improvement each class. Today I have zero back pain and I have become very flexible again. My back is strong, my core is strong and I have almost the same level of movement in my spine than I had before my injury and I am fitter and stronger now in my 40's than I was 20 years ago in my 20's. I still have 3 disks that are damaged and decompressed but the strength that practicing Bikram Yoga weekly has given me means that I can live "normally" again, pain free. I fell in love Bikram yoga and I wanted to help share the benefits it can give anybody regardless of age or fitness levels. So in March 2023 I decided to attend the intensive Bikram teacher training course in Queenstown to become a Bikram teacher. It was very tough but I loved every minute of it! I am proud to say that I am now a Bikram Hot Yoga teacher. Bikram Yoga really is for everybody and every body, regardless of your ability, flexibility and state of mind. I know from my own experience that you leave that hot room feeling stronger and more centered, mind body and soul.

Wanting to share the benefits she has gained from a regular practice she completed her 200hr yoga teacher training through Jayayoga in 2021, followed by a four month mentorship to complete a year of training and become a Yoga NZ registered teacher.

When I was 19 years old, I attended my first yoga session in Chile, my home country. Ten years later, in 2012, while living in Mexico, I got the chance to become a yoga teacher, which completely changed my life. In the first class that I guided I said to myself "this is what I want to do for the rest of my life". Teaching yoga, I found the opportunity to help others to feel better in their own bodies, relieving chronic pain and feeling calmed and happier. When you practise yoga, you start feeling better in your body overall. Discomforts disappear or are reduced, your energy is elevated, your mood changes, your mind gets clearer, and you transmit this peace and happiness to others. I am keen to continue learning more about yoga, anatomy, the mind and meditation, as well as anything else relevant to health. https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/wendy-ng daily 0.75 2023-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/57c69c7f-4dbc-437d-a0cb-b6ca939906e7/Wendy+Ng_.jpeg Wendy Ng - Wendy Ng Travelling Teacher Wendy is visiting us from 27 June - 16 July 2023. In December 2019, Wendy had her first Bikram class in Hong Kong. She could barely do the postures, just tried her best to stay in the hot room. Yet, the sense of relief was palpable after the class. She could not wait for the next classes. Since then, Wendy has been continuously practising with her two major Bikram-trained teachers in Hong Kong, Missy Szymanski and Noy Petchiwikai, which built her foundational understanding of the set sequence. To become a certified instructor, she joined Yoga Champion Esak Garcia’s 26&2 training in Kuala Lumpur. Wendy is forever grateful to Missy, Noy and Esak - their teaching inspired her to be an empathy, humble and precise yogi. Practising and teaching Bikram Yoga profoundly changed Wendy’s life. Although 26&2 sequence is same, our body feels different every day and state of mind is dynamic. What matters are the consistency to practise and the discipline & precision during the practice. All experiences accumulated in the hot room refines yogi to be a better person - on and off the mat. Wendy’s class is dialogue-based, challenging and energetic. The strong emphasis on the alignment and breath during the class aims to encourage everyone staying focus in the present, listen your body and using yoga a means to explore yourself.

I was in my early 20's at the time and can't fathom how my exceptionally unhealthy body convinced me that attending a second class was a good idea. But it did, and I went back time and time again, and there began my journey back to health and mind/body connection. I've had long periods of obsessive and zero practice in the 20 years since, but my connection to this sequence has remained strong. Six years ago I decided to leave my job as a Primary School teacher and drag my 3 year old to Bali to partake in a 6 week Bikram Teacher Training with Evolation Yoga. I spent the first day crying on the beach wondering why I thought that was a good idea… it was years since I had last practised at a proper studio and I was overwhelmed with the study/the practice/the mothering… a real crisis... but day two was better and by the end of the six weeks I was certified and convinced that it was one of the best decisions I had ever made. I never intended to actually teach, as I didn't have a studio near by, the training succeeded in reigniting and refining my home practice (in the greenhouse by summer and by heating my tiny house too much in the winter). My son and I relocated to Napier last year and I've adored being near a studio again. I dusted off my old dialogue and accepted the challenge when Meghann asked if I would be interested in teaching. So far teaching has felt very natural if a little nerve wracking. I love the repetition and focus on alignment. I love the meditative aspect of the bright lights and heat. I love the self awareness (and confrontation) that the full length mirrors bring. I love Bikram Yoga. https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/carl-rowling-1 daily 0.75 2025-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/ed1145fa-354b-453f-8a5d-2887d6a82c25/IMG_5149.JPG Carl Rowling - Carl Rowling Yoga Teacher I have always been into sport and fitness. I’m a lifelong runner, open water swimmer (I love the cold), keen skier and regular road cyclist (which has included some wonderful multi-day rides with the whole family). Having practiced hot yoga off and on for over a decade, I got serious and did my E84 teacher training in 2023. I love teaching classes and guiding the tremendous effort put in by our yogis. As I get older, yoga has increasingly become an important part of my wellbeing program and allows me to enjoy my other sports even more. But at the end of the day, nothing beats a focussed and flowing 90 minutes of hot yoga!! https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/pricing-heated daily 0.75 2026-01-25 https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/member-site-homepage-2 daily 0.75 2025-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847318774-JS502KT9XE3KPJHQQ6E3/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Member Site Homepage 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847318080-B9F72DEHK9FXZN08KRIP/Large%2BJPG-20140228_Trade%2B151_0046.jpg Member Site Homepage 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847317621-5SEXVL3M0LSMZVYRL6PC/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0428.jpg Member Site Homepage 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847317308-TDOFWH9YJEOMMRVEO7D9/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0010.jpg Member Site Homepage 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847316926-7EAMTNMIVN6J7Y8IJQEJ/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0393.jpg Member Site Homepage 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847316328-ZCDAOUA1PY1R3CA7PD1K/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0380.jpg Member Site Homepage 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847315857-HXSHJG4PKSDRYVEJLCHD/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0387.jpg Member Site Homepage 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847786777-I8BZRIZVCEZ63R9CKU1D/round+ceramic+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847786047-K0VII4UI7MJZ11Y6MQNT/ceramic+bud+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847785812-1MJRWHO89PP5CTON60CF/ceramic+vase https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/yippie-classes-vip-link daily 0.75 2025-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847318774-JS502KT9XE3KPJHQQ6E3/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Yippie Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847318080-B9F72DEHK9FXZN08KRIP/Large%2BJPG-20140228_Trade%2B151_0046.jpg Yippie Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847317621-5SEXVL3M0LSMZVYRL6PC/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0428.jpg Yippie Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847317308-TDOFWH9YJEOMMRVEO7D9/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0010.jpg Yippie Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847316926-7EAMTNMIVN6J7Y8IJQEJ/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0393.jpg Yippie Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847316328-ZCDAOUA1PY1R3CA7PD1K/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0380.jpg Yippie Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847315857-HXSHJG4PKSDRYVEJLCHD/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0387.jpg Yippie Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847786777-I8BZRIZVCEZ63R9CKU1D/round+ceramic+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847786047-K0VII4UI7MJZ11Y6MQNT/ceramic+bud+vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847785812-1MJRWHO89PP5CTON60CF/ceramic+vase https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/member-site-homepage-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Member Site Homepage 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Member Site Homepage 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Member Site Homepage 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/b0e76259-0a2d-4652-af34-d25143b6cd3c/02_CIRCLE_SHOT_3_0307_04_QC.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/7981a6b2-6661-493c-b9dc-654a4b537c39/04_CIRCLE_SHOT_4_0422_03_QC.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/27dca807-da34-43e7-a1ab-58f117dc7aca/01_CIRCLE_SHOT_6_0199_06a_QC.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1dd36f65-c5db-447f-aa01-66161cdcde0c/Aro+Ha_0010.jpg https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/pricing-non-heated daily 0.75 2026-01-25 https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/easypay-unlimited daily 0.75 2026-01-24 https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/timetable daily 0.75 2026-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/584154ff-327a-49e2-963f-278e52242be9/2026+Timetable.jpg https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/alison-bradley daily 0.75 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/410b51e4-dc65-45c9-bd2f-c8f03b53e038/IMG_8683.JPG Alison Bradley - Alison Bradley Fitness and movement have always been a part of my life, it has taken me around the world and into various environments and settings. For almost two decades I had the opportunity to learn from many different teachers and teach all styles and levels. Eventually that journey brought me to yoga, studying under various teachers across multiple countries and teaching in several different settings. I feel extremely lucky to have had so many opportunities to mold and sculpt my own personal style, and as I continue to learn and experience, I continue to develop and grow. I love the enjoyed movement, and yoga brings and the communities that are formed. My goal is to continue to bring joy, to ignite the passion for movement through challenge, encouragement, and laughter. I teach with understanding and acceptance and encourage people learn the balance of life and find the play in work and not take ourselves too seriously! https://www.yippieyopi.co.nz/introductory-offer-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/339ab547-dac8-48d4-beb1-996b373fe6d4/Green-Image-3.jpg Introductory Offer (Copy) - Intro Pass This is always available for those who are new to the studio.

Please ensure you arrive at least 15-20 minutes BEFORE the class is due to start. This will give you enough time to register and be shown the ropes by the teacher. There may be other new people starting in the same class, so arriving with plenty of time is important. It also ensures you are able to relax for a few minutes before class starts and let go of any stress that may have arrived with you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/7e3e37df-df5d-40d7-8b36-f411e965554e/jordan-nix-biX8sBfNcPc-unsplash.jpg Your First Class old - What should I wear? Light, non-restrictive, comfortable work-out clothing. You will be sweating so avoid loose fitting, heavy clothing (like t-shirts and long track pants). Opt for bike/exercise shorts, sports bras/tops for women and singlets for guys (many men just wear shorts). For the Yin class you may wish to be warmer and bring a pair of sox or a long sleeved top. There is less movement and the room is not heated, so your body can cool down when in final savasana. What should I bring to class? A yoga mat if you have one (you can rent one for $2 or buy one for $39.99). A large towel to put on your mat to soak up your sweat (towel rental is $2 or buy one that fits your mat for $39). A bottle of water (filtered water is available). An extra towel is suggested if you wish to shower after class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/100c016c-f7a9-4775-904f-94c98dd94692/jade-stephens-N21356amsyw-unsplash.jpg Your First Class old - What if I am not flexible? Flexibility is the outcome of yoga! People come to yoga to improve flexibility and range of motion. You are not alone, lots of students are working on their flexibility. You do not need to be flexible to come to yoga. This is the most common misconception that prevents people from coming to yoga classes. Yoga is a cross between strength and flexibility and so many factors come into play such as age, sports history, injury and illness. You start where you are at and go from there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/72c29484-854c-4598-98fd-c9a0292574cf/pexels-klaus-nielsen-6303492.jpg Your First Class old - Should I eat before class? It is recommended to practice yoga on an empty stomach. As a standard rule, refrain from eating 2 hours prior to class. Be sure to hydrate well before coming to class. How long is each class? We offer 45, 60 and 90 minute classes. Plan on staying in the room the entire time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61aec64dbca7d065268f464c/b9849e54-b167-48f6-96dd-57cb7c2fe9af/natalie-grainger-8uB5kFKWWkk-unsplash.jpg Your First Class old - Can I lose weight doing yoga? Yes. Like anything though, the food you eat plays a huge role in your weight.
