The Sunroom Sanctuary
A Luxury Yoga Wellness Escape
Yoga - Tiffany Fleetwood-Bird
Tiffany Fleetwood-Bird is an experienced, senior yoga teacher based in Nelson, where she owns and operates the studio Yoga Jai. She has been teaching for over 25 years and is notably the only senior Vinyasa Krama Mandiram (VKM) teacher in New Zealand. Tiffany will be hosting two classes on this wellness day, one Moon sequence and one breathwork session.
The Moon Sequence is a slow flowing sequence balanced between active and passive. The slower rhythm allows time to find your alignment in the poses. Seated poses target the lower back hips linked with a gentle vinyasa to stabilize the core. The meditative quality of this sequence leaves you centred, grounded and peaceful.
Yin is a softening and releasing of the connective tissues in the body instilling a deep sense of calm. With the use of props we hold the passive, floor-based poses for an extended time enabling you to drop into a deep feeling of relaxation.
Both the sessions will include breath work and are aimed at settling the nervous system giving you time and space to come back to your true nature.
Suitable for all levels, variations and modifications will be offered.
Chair Massage
Each participant will receive a 15 minute deep chair massage. The massage therapist will focus on tension areas such as the neck, shoulders, back and arms, using a range of techniques such as kneading and compression to help release muscle tension and promote relaxation. Personalised treatment is tailored to each attendee’s specific aches, pains, and areas of tension.
Crystal Sound Bath
To close the day you will enjoy a passive, deeply immersive sensory experience designed to quiet your mind through sound and vibration. As the room fills with harmonic overtones, you don't just hear the music; you feel the physical resonance vibrating gently in your chest and muscles. Your brainwaves will naturally slow down. You may drift into a dreamlike state between waking and sleeping, experience vivid mental imagery, or simply feel a profound sense of weightlessness and peace.
Plant-based lunch
Guests will enjoy a delicious, fully plant-based lunch featuring vibrant, locally sourced ingredients crafted by Kaiaka Cuisine. To complement the dish, the meal will be served alongside a choice of refreshing Forrest sparkling wine or crisp, artisanal kombucha.
