If I’m honest, I almost always have a wobble before a longer class.

The stories start:
“What if no one books?”
“What if people don’t enjoy it?”
“What if it’s not good enough?”

Today was the first 3-Hour Yin Journey of the year, and once again those thoughts turned out to be just thoughts.

Because what happened instead was a room full of people willing to slow down, soften, rest, and spend a winter afternoon taking care of themselves.

To the new faces, the returning faces, and the familiar regular faces, thank you.

Thank you for trusting me to guide you, for showing up for yourselves, and for helping create such a beautiful energy in the room.

Teaching these longer journeys is one of my favourite things to do, even if my nervous system occasionally forgets that beforehand.

Today was a beautiful reminder that we don’t have to feel completely confident before we do something meaningful.

And for three hours this afternoon, we slowed down, settled in, and shared something pretty special together. 🤍

As we move toward winter — the most yin time of the year — nature begins to slow down. The days become quieter, the nights longer, and we’re invited to soften, conserve energy, and turn inward.

The Slow Return — Into Stillness
A 3 Hour Yin Journey
Sunday 7 June · 3pm–6pm
Studio 39, Paihia

This afternoon is an invitation to step out of the rush and settle into slower rhythms through long-held yin shapes, breathwork, stillness, and deep rest.

Expect grounding shapes, nervous system support, spacious pauses, and the kind of rest that lingers long after you leave.

We’ll finish the afternoon with homemade treats and time to ground, connect, and kōrero together.

The first 3 Hour Yin Journey of the year — and these journeys always sell out.

Bookings essential via www.theyinsidepaihia.com

Suitable for all bodies and levels except those who are pregnant.

It’s been a little quiet on here from me lately.

Truthfully… I just haven’t been in the headspace.
Life’s been full, the world’s been a lot, and I didn’t have anything to say that felt real.

But behind the scenes, The Yin Side has still been here.
Classes still running. Space still being held.

And maybe now more than ever… we need it.

A place to slow down.
To breathe.
To step out of the noise for a bit.

If you’ve been feeling it too — you’re always welcome to come and land on your mat.

🖤 Mon & Tue 6pm — Yin (90 mins)
🖤 Wed 6pm — Unwind (60 mins, myofascial release)
🖤 Book online: https://www.theyinsidepaihia.com/book-online

Ok but… who wants an hour in the kitten cabin at Coast to Coast Cat Rescue?! 🐾

We’re fundraising for Dougal and running a giveaway — plus every donation is currently being DOUBLED 💥

Already at $280 ($560 with matching!) 🔥
Honestly the best excuse you’ll have all school holidays 😅

👉 See below for how to win 👇🐾

‼️Today is Final Day of Financial Year, the perfect day to donate so you can put a claim in for your end of year tax!!

UPDATE - You guys are working your magic 🥹😻 we’re at $500!!!

We need your help — and right now, your donation is DOUBLED.

This beautiful boy, Dougal, turned up in rural Whangārei, hanging around someone’s home looking for help. No one came forward for him, so he’s now safely in our care 💛

What we didn’t expect… was how much he’s carrying.

He is already desexed and microchipped (but not registered), but after a full check over we’ve discovered:
• He needs dental treatment
• He is FIV positive
• He has a heart arrhythmia, which means any procedures require extra monitoring and care

Despite all of this — he is incredibly gentle and affectionate.
He leans into you like he’s known you forever.

We are working alongside CatsnCare in Warkworth to get him the best possible care at the best possible price, and we’ve been quoted $1,500 – $2,000 for his treatment.

⸻

💥 HERE’S THE BIG PART 💥
Thanks to the amazing team at SavourLife, we have $1,000 pledged to MATCH your donations

👉 That means your $10 becomes $20
👉 Your $20 becomes $40

With this match, we only need to raise $1,000 to fully cover his treatment.

⸻

🎟 BONUS — GIVEAWAY ENTRY

✨ Win a private 1-hour Kitten Cabin experience (up to 4 people) — as much fun and cuddles as you can handle! ✨

• Every $5 donated = 1 entry
• $10 = 3 entries

👉 How to enter:
1. Donate via the link below
2. Screenshot your receipt
3. Send it to us + your phone number

⸻

We know times are tough — but right now, even a small donation goes twice as far.

Dougal didn’t ask for any of this… but we can give him a chance.

Let’s do this together. 💛

📣New class at The Yin Side Paihia — Unwind is a guided self myofascial release class for every body.

There is no yoga, instead using massage balls, blocks, straps and gentle pressure, we soften tight fascia, ease aches, and help your body recover from the way you live, work and train.

It’s for gym bodies, desk bodies, walking bodies, sore backs, tight hips and tired legs.
No experience needed. Just a body that wants to feel better in itself.
