I AM YOGA
Online Studio
A monthly membership for the busy woman who is ready to cultivate a stronger & greater connection to herself through movement, restoration, meditation and like-hearted community.
Shorter practices to energize and nourish yourself
To suit the demands of your busy schedules, we’ve become very good at creating shorter practices to fit into your every day life. Most classes are 30 minutes which include everything you would get in the normal hour yoga class – breath awareness, creative flows to empower, strengthen, revitalize and savasana/meditation (final relaxation).
Class styles to suit you on the day
Strength/ Pilates/ LIIT
For those days you might be feeling extra fiery or strong, these flows are great to get you moving and condition your body and mind. Be prepared to sweat and be challenged.
RISE & SHINE FLOW (Vinyasa)
To energize, strengthen and stabilize your body and mind. An incredible way to start your day with positive energy and intentions.
GENTLEFLOW
Mindful, nourishing and gentle flow at a slightly slower pace aimed at bringing mindful movement and intentions to your day.
RESTORATIVE& YIN
Create space to slow down, unwind and nourish your nervous system with Myofascial release, self massage, restorative and yin yoga based lying/seated postures.
YOGA NIDRA
Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice intended to allow the mind and body to reach the deepest state of relaxation possible, whilst maintaining consciousness. You will be guided through a multi-step process to shift your awareness from the outside world, into your inner realm. It’s great for those days/afternoons when you’re feeling exhausted, under the weather or burnt out (a personal fave of mine).
MEDITATION
With different themes and intentions, our short meditations will help you find that inner peace and clarity by bringing mindful snacks into your day.
BREATHWORK
Simple, grounding breathwork practice that aims to bring you into your body, nourish your nervous system and create a sense of ease and calm to set you up for the day. Suitable for all levels.
Self Regulation Somatic Practices
A super effective way to build your inner resources of feeling safe in your body, the most simple, easy and proven somatic practices to soothe anxiety & stress, and enhance mental wellbeing.

Meet Your Facilitators
AINSLIE
I’m a science nerd and a lifelong student of life, yoga, mental and holistic health, and love helping others (and myself) thrive in body and mind. I love learning and variation in my life; you’ll see this trickle into my classes.
I've completed 800+ hours of yoga teacher training in India and NZ, & am the founder of this wee business, I AM Yoga, I also teach in-person yoga, retreats & workshops in the King Country.
To me, practicing and teaching yoga is about creating space for expression, processing stress and emotions, managing the monkey mind, connection to self and community, nervous system nourishment, resilience,playfulness, self awareness, listening to our bodies and giving ourselves permission to slow down. I love bringing real life struggles to our mats and shedding yoga wisdom.
My passion is facilitating students to harness the power to integrate what we learn on the mat and bring this into our everyday life.
Lisa
Yoga for me is a way of life. It is not just the asana, it is a whole philosophy and one that I live my entire life by... It is how I show up in this world. It’s about embracing this human existence whole heartedly.
I have an absolute passion for yoga and love to be able to share the gift and learnings from all my study and embodiment practices. I like to teach from a place of felt experience and am immensely fascinated by the human body, forever learning and trying new things in a quest to better understand and grow a loving relationship with this amazing vessel.
My 3 kids are my biggest inspiration and teachers, I love watching them grow and develop, imparting my learnings onto them too.
I am forever a teacher, and forever a student.
Allie
I’ve been practicing yoga for over 10 years; my practice grew from the seed planted by my Mum who encouraged me to try Yin to manage uni stress. Since then, my relationship with yoga has extended its roots and branches far beyond physical asana, to a full-spectrum practice, and my love for Yin still burns strong!
Yoga for me is about uncovering, building, strengthening the connection with your body, your deeper self, and the world you navigate.
My curiosity in moving deeper into self through movement, breath and stillness has evolved and deepened as I’ve trained in Yin, Embodied Flow and Vinyasa, and you’ll find that curiosity weaved into my classes.
Also a qualified personal trainer and Animal Flow instructor (L1), my love for movement, creative flow and building strength shines through in my teaching too. My style finds the balance between fiery strength, and mindful stillness.
When not on the mat, you’ll find me seeking deeper connection with myself, others and Papatuanuku: I get great joy from exploring in nature, playing music, writing poetry, and spending time with family and friends.
Claire
I support people to move from anxiety & overwhelm into a place of inner confidence & trust. After spending a decade studying the body and mind, my work draws from many different practices including; yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breath-work, and embodiment practices. I started my yoga teaching journey in London and have since traveled the globe and have been fortunate enough to learn from many amazing teachers and mentors. My teaching is inspired by a deep passion for the relationship between body, mind, and spirit, as well as my time studying dance & rhythmmetrics. I am on a mission to help people explore, listen and connect to the wisdom of their own body. My signature class MBR is a potent combination of breath, movement, and ritual to leave you feeling grounded, clear, and energised for the day ahead

Love Notes from Our Members
Whakarongo Tauranga, Hamilton, NZ
"I love the science behind what you do and I'm so grateful that you share it because it helps me practice with increased purpose, knowledge and understanding of how my body works. You give so much more than "just yoga" - knowledge gives us power to purposefully and proactively modify our practice to benefit our whole being. You are amazing for sharing your heart with our community."
Ana Wiseman,
Aria, NZ
"I had been thinking about joining I AM Yoga Online Studio for months, mainly because I had injured my back and was on a slow road to recovery. I thought yoga would be good to help with mobility in my back, what I discovered was that Ainslie's classes were amazing for my mental health too. I love the early morning yoga practice, not only does my body feel awesome, it also reminds me to breath deeply throughout the day. Now I know that when life gets hectic I have my breath to ground me and reset before I go again. Ainslie is inclusive and easy to talk to. She always responds to communication and is happy to share her wealth of knowledge. I can't speak highly enough of her online classes. Often in the weekend I will jump online and do one of the pre-recorded sessions at a time that suits me. The online studio has become one of my favourite times of the week - taking time out of my busy life to slow down and look after my physical and mental well-being has been so good for me. Thank you Ainslie!!"

"I love love love the online aspect of I am yoga! I have had a bad back and neck for 12ish years from an old rugby injury. I have seen literally everyone to try and get help for it and gave up when nothing worked. Since starting yoga my back and neck have been the best they have ever been. I’ve noticed so many other amazing results from it too. My energy levels are maintained throughout the day (instead of having that afternoon slump), it sets me up with a positive mind set for the day and not to mention the physical benefits too of being more flexible and stronger. It’s so good that there are many of your recorded sessions on the website too, I do them if I can’t make the live session for the day. Anslie, you are such a vibe and I love the business you have created. You can see how much yoga means to you as it comes out through your craft of yoga."
Monthly Themes & Extras
In addition to our weekly classes, every month will include something extra special including a particular exploration of a theme/topic, 30 day practices, 7-day challenges, guest speakers, foodie recipe months and so much more!
NURTURE
March 2024
The Extras we have done previously are below and are in the library for you to enjoy in your own time….
NURTURE 1,2,3 &4
30 Day Series
30 days of 5-30 minute, live and on-demand movement, meditation and restorative practices. The reset your nervous system, body & mind have been waiting for!
We did this live in August and November 2022 but it’s all recorded in a playlist in the library for you to explore anytime. A 30 day practice is a really great practice to commit to if you’re wanting to develop a more nourishing routine/habits, and are great to turn to if you’ve been feeling ungrounded, chaotic and overwhelmed.
Serene Sleep Series
Do you have trouble with winding down, staying asleep, getting back to sleep, or not getting enough sleep?
You know how important sleep is for your mental health, blood sugar, cravings, brain function, immune system, digestion, moods, hormones, recovery, stress management & hormones, energy levels (i.e. EVERYTHING) yet you still struggle with getting enough of the good, refreshing, restorative sleep?
You’re in the right place darling!
Inside our online studio, there are 12 sleep classes for you! Just 15-20 minute practices including yoga, gentle movement, restoration, nervous system regulation, relaxation, journaling, meditation and so much more. By the end of the series, my aim is that you will learn how to be your own sleep doctor, improve your sleep routine, quality, quantity and efficiency. And share what you learn with your whole family – yes, even the kids!
