Yoga Louise is a well-established yoga studio located in Poole, New Zealand. Founded by Louise Trew, a highly trained and experienced yoga instructor, Yoga Louise offers a wide range of classes, retreats, events, workshops, and private sessions.
Louise is a dedicated practitioner and teacher of Hatha Yoga, which focuses on finding balance between opposing elements in the mind, body, and breath, much like the concept of Yin and Yang. She completed her training with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2009 under the guidance of Wendy Haring and Val Goodier.
One of Louise's specialities is teaching the evidence-based 'Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs' programme, a 12-week course designed to improve back health and function. Additionally, she has received specific training in 'Yoga for Menopause', offering a modified yoga practise to support women with stretches, breathing techniques, and mindful meditation. Moreover, Louise has further specialisations in Somatic movement and Yoga for Osteoporosis.
With a passion for making yoga accessible to all, Louise also teaches 'Gentle Years Yoga', a modified chair yoga practise that is suitable for older adults and individuals with injuries or disabilities. She is dedicated to bringing mindfulness and breath awareness into her classes, as these tools are powerful in finding peace and calm amidst the busyness of modern life.
In addition to her extensive teaching experience, Louise is continually expanding her knowledge and skills through regular training courses and workshops. She keeps up-to-date with the latest research and advancements in the field of yoga to provide the best possible experience for her students.
At Yoga Louise, the weekly classes are offered both in-person and virtually through Zoom. The timetable page provides detailed information on the schedule and options available. In addition to general yoga classes, Yoga Louise offers specialised sessions such as Chair Yoga, Yoga for a Healthy Back, and Mindfulness Courses. The studio also hosts Yoga Days & Weekends, providing opportunities for students to deepen their practise and immerse themselves in a yogic journey.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Yoga Louise welcomes you to join their community and experience the transformative power of yoga. Louise looks forward to meeting you in one of her classes and guiding you on your yoga journey towards health, balance, and inner harmony.
