Meet Andrea
Hi, I'm Andrea, the face behind Slowkind Collective.I came to yoga about 15 years ago during a challenging time in my life, navigating health challenges, and it ended up giving me so much more than I expected. It helped me rebuild strength, but it also taught me how to rest, slow down and be a bit kinder to myself. I would love to share this practice of yoga with you as it has supported me in so many ways.I teach yin yoga and slower gentle movement built around breath, rest and moving in a mindful way.I bring warmth, authenticity, and the belief that everybody can do yoga. I'm drawn to functional movement and yin yoga, and I love embracing the idea that every body is different.My intention is to create a welcoming space where students can focus on how a shape feels rather than how it looks, reconnect with their body, and leave feeling more grounded, relaxed, and kind towards themselves.When I'm not teaching, you'll usually find me keeping up with my son Max, or working on my textile design business, so I understand what it's like trying to balance busy days with needing a moment to just breathe.Come as you are and move in a way that feels right for you.200hr Yoga Teacher Training - The Yoga Corner, Lower Hutt

Our classes
Slow Move & Rest
Half slow, mindful movement, half deep rest. We start by warming the body up and then settle into longer held yin shape. All levels welcome and beginner friendly. Perfect if you love a slower pace or are also new to yin and would like a taster.
Yin Yoga (Coming Soon)
Shapes that are mostly seated or lying down and held for several minutes. You might also support yourself with the use of props, so your body can properly soften, let go and rest. Beginner friendly and for anyone who loves to settle into a shape and find stillness and deep rest.
Yin Restorative (Coming Soon)
A more restorative style of yin yoga with shapes that are supported with the use of props, so your body can properly soften, let go and rest. Ideal for anyone who loves to settle into a shape and find deep rest and relaxation.

"I arrived feeling frantic with a busy mind, and I left feeling stretched, light as a feather, and fully relaxed! Andrea brings so much warmth to the room and creates a beautiful blend of movement and stillness. It is the perfect, much needed reset after a busy week."- Slow Sundays Student (Anonymous)
"I was a bit nervous before my first class, but Andrea's voice is so warm and calming, and there are no expectations. She makes it as easy or as challenging as you like by offering great modifications so you can choose what feels comfortable for your body."- Slow Sundays Student (Anonymous)
