I’ve been leading yoga and wellness retreats in Aotearoa - New Zealand and internationally for many years. In all my teaching I use my wairuatanga (spirituality) and manakitanga (care) to allow you to grow in your yoga practice and wellbeing – your hauora.
You deserve the best, so my small group retreats are always in locations carefully to chosen for exceptional quality. I always include extra activities; so when you choose to travel with me you are guaranteed to go far beyond the retreat venue and explore the places, the history and share the local culture. Come for the yoga, stay for the culture.
Join me on your yoga adventure.

‘The more I reflect on the weekend the better it gets...I just loved the magical ambience of the venue, the amazing women, the delicious sumptuous food and most importantly the yoga & its many guises - relaxing, restorative, challenging and recharging.’ Andrea
Going to Ann-Maree’s yoga is like returning home after a hard days work. I feel welcomed, safe and supported every step of the way. No one is ever pushed beyond their capabilities, and yet, the challenges are all there to extend ourselves as much as we wish - Bronnie
Awesome knowledge and insightful tutor, Ann-Maree really brings yoga to life - Rob
The yoga community you have created is so special; a great group of people and just what I needed to pause for the day - Kerry



Thank you so much Whakaora Yoga for an incredible weekend. Such incredible value for money in a beautiful setting. I loved the yoga, food, company, belly laughs and Manaaki! Highly recommend - will definitely come again.
Ann-Maree is such a beautiful person and an amazing yoga teacher. With such a caring nature, her yoga classes always seem to focus on the exact flows and poses my body and mind require on that day. She is welcoming and offers such a warm, happy and embracing persona to everyone who walks through her door. I find it such a privilege to be part of her yoga world"
