ABBIE PETERS

I always remember having a love for Yoga from an early age, my spirit was always taken with the mystical and the unseen experience inside the body. I also remember wishing as a young girl I could have a job where I didn't have to wear shoes ! Fast forward to today and I now have a barefoot girl's dream come true; working as both a massage therapist and a Yoga teacher!

I came home to Christchurch in 2008 after traveling in Europe for 10 years, having done a lot of snowboarding and managing staff in the mountains. I was at a turning point in my life; either a breakdown or a break through. My body and mind needed deep rest and a recalibration of my life and lifestyle. 

This led me to train to become a Remedial Massage Therapist while diving into a hot yoga practice that felt like it literally saved my life. 

I then went on to train as a Yoga teacher, firstly in a Hot Yoga tradition, then later in Power Vinyasa.

Teaching at Flow and being part of this wonderful community has led me into further teachings of Yin Yoga and Pregnancy Yoga.

It is an honour and true joy for me to be part of your journey on the mat, in your body and your breath.
