I'm Bhavani, and I love creating simple, accessible ways for people to feel more at home in their bodies. My work blends yoga, somatics, embodiment, and a good dose of curiosity and play. I don't believe movement needs to be complicated or perfect to be meaningful. Sometimes the gentlest practices are the ones that stay with us the longest. I enjoy creating spaces where people can slow down, notice what they're feeling, move in ways that make sense for them, and discover that feeling well can begin with the smallest moments of presence, ease, and kindness toward themselves.

Sam is the kaitiaki of Nuku Yoga, a community yoga offering based in the heart of New Plymouth. Vinyasa and trauma-informed yoga shape the way she teaches. She will hold you gently through a dynamic and strong practice. Te reo Māori and yogic philosophy are woven gently through each class, living lineages she is still growing into, shared with humility and care. Sam believes in a wonderfully imperfect and curious practice. One where movement facilitates presence, not performance, and where showing up as you are is genuinely enough.

At the heart of his work is a simple belief: that sound can help us remember our natural capacity for ease, awareness, and wellbeing.
