Fiona Liu RYT 500

I have been dedicating myself to teaching yoga for over 15 years and training yoga teachers for over a decade. It is a joyful continuing journey of perfecting my craft. 

Once a yoga studio owner, now a mother of two young girls, I am grateful that I have the tools to meet myself each day, as not only a mother, wife, or business owner, but also as my own self. The ongoing self-inquiry of yoga allows me to look deep inside and be clear of what I need on and off the mat to care for myself and those around me.

My unique and comprehensive training experience both in NZ and overseas with renowned international teachers Sarah Powers, Bernie Clark, Jo Phee, Tara Judelle, Dr Scott Lyons, Tiffany Cruikshank, Janet Stone and completion of over 1000 hours of yoga teacher training, has helped me transform the lives of many.

My mission is to support yoga teachers to discover and connect to their yin energy, so they can authentically practice, then confidently teach from this place.

I do this by offering training courses and workshops – creating the time, the space and the nourishment we need to develop this subtle connection.

With my deep understanding about Yin Yoga and Sal’s immense knowledge about the energetics from the traditional Chinese medicine perspective, we have crafted the most insightful trainings for you.

To help you move forward in your Yin practice and Yin teaching , I’ve put together two articles:

Sal Flewelling BHSc Acupuncture & YTT200

Hey I’m Sal. I’m an acupuncturist with a deep love of yoga.

My love of yoga began in my twenties, when I was working as a designer in central London, feeling like I wanted to connect to ‘something’ outside myself, but unsure what that ‘something’ was.

I met a gentle guide who brought me into yoga asanas and a journey of re-connection back into my body began.

By the time I’d moved to New Zealand, yoga was such an integral part of my life, I’d become fascinated with the evolution in my own body and soul.

Within a few years, I started to understand ‘the science’ of body energetics as I studied Acupuncture, Tuina massage and Tai-chi with NZSAO. I was invited to share my knowledge on several Yoga Teacher trainings, which is how Fiona and I met. This led me to train as a Yoga teacher with Inspire YTT.

In 2021, after many years of training yoga teachers, Fiona & I began offering our own yin yoga trainings.

Many of our students tell us our trainings are a great blend of Yin-Yang! Fiona’s deep knowledge and supportive energy beautifully combines with my ‘energetic‘ understandings. I truly love helping you explore and understand your body’s energy and meridians during your Yin yoga practice.
