“Mandy’s classes have been incredible. Mandy’s multi-disciplinary approach to yoga and meditation really makes her shine as a teacher, and the breathing-work alone is something that has alleviated much of the anxiety and depression that has plagued me for a very long time. Life can be stressful, so Mandy also gives you the tools to take her teaching and apply it in day-to-day situations, giving you that oasis of calm in a hectic world. I know I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“I never was a huge yoga person. Would do it occasionally but mainly for injury prevention. I mostly would feel out of my depth and would struggle with so many poses . My first session was Yoga Nidra on a Friday evenings with Mandy. I have never felt a feeling like it!! It was so amazing to feel at peace with your body and mind. I left feeling refreshed and relaxed.. There is no judgement or criticism. She provides a comfortable and caring environment. I could not recommend Mandy enough!!

“I was fortunate to discover Mandy not long after she had arrived into Christchurch from Perth earlier this year.
I think my lucky stars were aligned on that day!
Having participated in yoga practices over the past five years, around the world on work trips and overseas holidays and also here in Christchurch, I find yoga has taught me to take a focus on what is important to me in the here and now, physically and emotionally.
Mandy has been able to teach me a yoga practice (you will need to pop in here the name of the practices ) that brought the best of everything together. The head massage at the end is like the icing on the cake.
I would recommend anyone at any age and stage in yoga to come along to Mandy’s boutique studio on Durham Street for what is the best yoga in the world. She will make you feel like you are the only one that matters!

Christchurch is very lucky to have her here.”

“I cannot recommend Mandy’s classes, workshops and retreats ENOUGH. Mandy is such a warm, giving, beautiful person who gives her all to make every class, workshop or retreat a holistic experience that completely lifts you up. Since starting going to yoga and workshops, my stress levels have decreased, my breathing has improved, my clarity in my direction and my overall wellbeing has improved like crazy. It’s one of the things I look forward to most in my week, and something I now can’t live without”

“At the time I started taking classes at Find Your Light, I had been taking a break from a consistent yoga practice. But, as soon as, I started working with Mandy, I was hooked. I bought an unlimited yoga for a month package and practiced 3-4 times a week. Honestly, I can say I’ve never felt better. My heart, mind and soul were completely aligned. The consistent practice allowed my busy mind to be able to relax and focus throughout the day. Because of that, I thought more clearly and was able to write more clearly for my freelance writing assignments. Mandy is sweet, welcoming and adaptive – you’ll truly feel at home at Find Your Light. I know I do.”

“I really enjoy Mandy’s stretch flow yoga classes. As a guy who is into my gym and live a very active fast paced life i find that it helps with my flexibility and progression in the gym. The weekend outdoors class is my favourite. It’s a Great way to start the weekend by doing some yoga in the sun in a peaceful park. Highly recommend it.”

“Mandy has changed my views on yoga from not wanting to even try it, to actually enjoying it and looking forward to it every week! I feel energised and calm after every session and it’s all thanks to Mandy!!”

“I was fortunate enough to have a one on one yoga session with Mandy in early February this year. I had been training for an up coming competition in March and thought I could probably use the session as part of my weekly training/recovery. I got a lot more than a good stretching session. Through Mandy’s calm teaching I let go of not only some physical tension I was carrying around but some emotional baggage as well, I wasn’t expecting this. Mandy gave me the time and space to experience my feelings and I left feeling lighter in my head, heart and body.
My first experience was so good I’ve continued to see Mandy in a group session weekly which I love and look forward to. It’s my gift to myself each week, a way of being kind to my body.
I really love that through the session Mandy reminds us that there is no judgement, no right or wrong with our different physical capabilities. Mandy creates a safe and inviting space for us to excel. ”
