The time will come

When, with elation,

You will greet yourself arriving

At your own door, in your own mirror,

And each will smile at each other’s welcome,

And say, sit here. Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was yourself.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart

To itself, to the stranger who has loved you

All your life, whom you ignored

For another, who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

The photographs, the desperate notes,

Peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.

Love after Love | Derek Walcott

THE JOURNEY INWARDS

TE MANAWA provides private tuition and facilitates group workshops in both yoga and mindfulness.

In a world full of daily pressures, stress and grief, yoga and mindfulness meditation provide a beautiful weaving together of body-centred awareness. Experienced separately and together, these ancient practices work to create a balance between body and soul.

The practices, combined with bringing kindness and compassion to ourselves and others, gently evoke the parasympathetic nervous system which switches us out of stress mode, reactivates our immune system and digestion and repairs and renews our cells.

Benefits from our programme include greater freedom from anxiety and depression, management of pain, greater energy and an improvement in other health related issues such as sleep problems, high blood pressure and headaches.

We invite you to find out more about our courses & wellness retreats.

MINDFUL LIVING

“Yoga and mindfulness have provided balance and well-being throughout my life, developing into a deep interest in the neuroscience and plasticity of the brain and its capacity to be shaped towards greater well-being and peace.”
Barbara Draper
Founder | Director of TE MANAWA
