Yoga for Wellbeing
with Barbara Coley
The word ‘svastha’ means to be in a place of optimal health and balance, body and mind. This is the underlying principle in all Svastha Yoga Aotearoa offerings – promoting an integrated and personalised approach, where students are supported by practices that cultivate well-being.
Move with ease, breathe with ease, live with ease.
Yoga is an ancient art that helps us to live life with more ease and more clarity. It brings us home to a place of peace and calm.
Barbara began her yoga journey in the early 1990’s and has been teaching since 2007. She is an advocate for sound yoga practices that are accessible to all regardless of background, abilities & circumstances.

Yoga Therapy & Personal Yoga Sessions
Whether you are wanting to gain more clarity and peace of mind in your life or you are experiencing less-than-optimal health, Yoga Therapy sessions with Barbara will enable you to progress towards your personal wellbeing goals.
Barbara also provides personal yoga sessions for yoga practitioners who prefer to practice outside of a group class environment. They are also beneficial for students who are wanting to develop a home yoga practice and/or wanting to bring the deeper aspects of yoga into their practice.
Whatever your needs, Barbara will expertly tailor these sessions to meet your requirements.
Barbara has been practicing yoga for 30 years and teaching since 2007. She is the Aotearoa, New Zealand home of Svastha Yoga.
