I did Ingrids breathwork course it has completely changed my breathing! I was having a lot of anxiety, and panic attacks and was always feeling breathless. I learned so much about my breathing, and use these techniques every day. I have increased my BOLT score and now can exercise while only nose breathing - what a breakthrough! Tanya

I have been seeing Ingrid for a few years now! I started seeing her for my nutrition and have lost over 10kgs. I love how she educates me in how to continue to look after my body, which is why I have continued to have her as my coach. I have gained better awareness around my food choices, and how to maintain my desired weight. I now include her online yoga & FRC into my weekly routine. Karen

I have had tight hips, back, hamstrings and just tight everything in general really! I find your classes unique and incredibly helpful for my hip mobility and everything else. I find it hard to find time but when I do I feel alot better and I feel your classes in particular suit me best! Thank you! William

I’m in my mid 60s and have recently tried to keep strong with some pilates and yoga, walking and gardening etc. Keeping fit was beginning to feel like an uphill struggle. Activities always seemed to be impacted by a bit of pain here or there, a bung shoulder, slightly dodgy hip, minor injury etc. but I persevered. It wasn’t until Ingrid started including her FRC training in yoga classes that I began to understand why I was beginning to blame my age for things I could not manage so well, and was actually feeling less fit. From Ingrid I learned that I simply did not have the range in my joints to comfortably do the things I expected and wanted to do - and that this could be changed. Ingrid's teaching, explanations and cues always make so much sense. I noticed changes in mobility straight away with the FRC stretches and exercises (for me, shoulders and hips where I had taken aches for granted), and after a few weeks including the FRC focus class, I noticed more significant changes in everyday activities - silly things perhaps, like reaching to grab something from the back seat of the car; stepping up onto a garden wall, or chair, and stepping down safely; reaching high shelves; squatting down to talk to a toddler; reversing; planting and pruning; weeding under the hedge; sitting on the floor. Even putting on socks standing on one leg. If I had included the FRC programme in my weekly exercise when I used to play squash, do regular long tramps, and endless repetitive crunches etc, I could have saved myself a lot of pain. I might be in my 60s but I'd recommend FRC to anyone who likes to, well, move - for whatever reason! It’s really satisfying to know that my body can still go forwards with improved strength and mobility with FRC and yoga, instead of gradually slowing down. Jane

I do Yoga with Ingrid and attended Ingrid’s Vibrant Health and Well Being 8 week course in Feb 2021. Ingrid’s passion to help other people with their health and well being (body, mind and spirit) really shone throughout the course and beyond. The course covers a lot in 8 weeks but even just making a few integrating a few of the health habits has made a real difference, and there’s always the course material to review to prompt further habits. Since doing the course I have lost almost 10kgs, am far more agile with the daily yoga practices and really notice the positive change. And there’s still much more I can do now I have the tools. Best of all Ingrid is always happy to give advice after the course and cater for specific needs. Brendon

Hi Ingrid. Thank you so much for the 8 week Health and Wellness course. I have learnt so much and have enjoyed incorporating healthier habits into my daily life. I am feeling lighter and more flexible. I am drinking more water, moving my body more and feel like I have a healthier relationship with food. There was so much content to your course that I’m yet to put into practice, but looking forward to continuing the journey. Thanks again, Michelle Warkworth

"Thank you so much for your lovely energy, every time i feel getting better, when i moved to NZ i had lots of hard times here and i was looking to do something for me,for my body and my mind. I never done yoga before but now i feel ,yoga should be in my life like a gift for myself. Its a lovely place, and lovely atmosphere, when you arrived to studio you can left everything behind you and you can start to feel yourself, your spirit and your mind. Thank you for everything that you gave us, I will definitely be here every week 🙂 Thank you Ingrid 🙂 " Ozenc, Warkworth

I really enjoyed the workshop thank you! I found it really inspirational and empowering, when I got home I made a vision board and wrote some affirmations in my diary:) I also really enjoyed the yoga sequences we did, especially the ones focusing on opening up the hip area as I find this is an area of mine that gets really tight. What I also really loved about it, and about your instructions in general, is the focus on doing what works for you. Everybody is different and I enjoy having an instructor who values those differences and allows people to go at their own pace in yoga, and allows them to choose what practice works for them individually. I realised today I'm coming up on doing yoga with you for about a year soon, and I just really want to thank you for everything. I really do feel like yoga has improved my life physically, spiritually, and emotionally. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Jocelyn

We are a hard working group of staff in a fairly sedentary office environment. As part of our normal planning day, which involves a six-hour meeting in a room with no windows, I took the plunge and booked a yoga session for the team just before lunch after a strenuous part of the meeting where we became quite heated at times with rather robust discussions. Although some people had reservations about yoga in the workplace, everyone joined in. Ingrid was like fresh breeze in the meeting room. The stretches she gave us were easy to perform in an office environment and were measured to suit the audience of various ages and builds. The group enjoyed the session and we all had a laugh at the creaks and cracks as we stretched out the tensions of the morning. Lunch came just after our session with Ingrid and the mood was noticeable brighter and everyone was talking about yoga and how much they’d enjoyed it. The mood for the afternoon session was considerably lighter and we even managed to finish an hour early and with no further arguments. Andy - Ponsonby

Thank you Ingrid for coming and doing yoga at the Redwood Treetops on my party. Everyone that took part really enjoyed it and said how lovely you are. My brother in law had me on the phone for 30 minutes saying how much eh enjoyed it! so thanks very much ~ Trish

Diagnosed with arthritis in the knees, following my first Yoga Session with Ingrid, I came out of the studio and literally flew down the stairs with no pain - I felt like the 'flying nun' - Lou

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, I remember when you sent the questionnaire out and you asked what did I want to get out of the course. I wrote my main concerns were fitness, but yoga for me has turned out to be a bit more of a journey into rediscovering who I really am and why I have sometimes felt I have fitted in. (Finding out about my body type was incredibly interesting)I guess also it’s been about the opening of my mind to an awareness that encompasses rather than excludes. So thank you Ingrid you have been a great inspiration for me. Julie

A lovely workshop! Thanks Ingrid. I felt so relaxed, and my body felt worked in a good way! My mind is clear and calm after the day, and I am continuing with my yoga and meditation CD you gave us. Feeling great! Thanks xx

Karen, Warkworth

If only we gave ourselves permission to be all of our potential in body, mind and spirit, what a happy, healthy and caring place the world would be. Thank you Ingrid for making a difference in my life and helping me to believe that I deserve it! Yes, I recommend you to everyone!!!

Sally, Warkworth

I really enjoyed the 4 week course, I learnt heaps & would love to do another course with you again in the future. The realisation on how to better start the day for my health & general well being. It doesn't have to be get up & rush rush, rush, that can wait a few minutes.

Rachel, Warkworth

I just wanted to say that I am really LOVING the classes. I feel so centered and relaxed afterwards. I want that feeling all the time! And it's giving me some little gems that I can take back and share with my clients as well. Thank you so much! See you next week.

Channelle, Warkworth

This is the second workshop of Ingrid's I have attended and I can't wait for the next one. I have found them truely life changing and beneficial , especially the 2 day "Heal Your Life" workshop. They have flowed so nicely and it is so lovely to be able to meet and connect with like-minded people. Thanks Ingrid 🙂

Monique, Matakana

Thank you Ingrid for organizing the Yoga Workshop in such a sublime setting.. Under your careful guidance, and with the blend of asanas, breathing technique and meditation, the Workshop was for me, both calming and strengthening. Complete with fresh fruit and herbal tea this was a perfect morning.

Gay, Algies Bay

Nothing else I do leaves me feeling as fantastic as yoga with Ingrid. It helps my breathing, my relaxation, my strength, my balance, my suppleness and my posture. As one of Ingrid’s longest & oldest clients, I consider yoga to be an essential part of my health and wellbeing. Warkworth is very privileged to have such a gifted yoga teacher in its midst.

Sarah, Warkworth

Thanks Ingrid! Loved the yoga workshop! Stunning revitalising setting and a really good mix of strong restorative yoga poses and great meditation and down time. Loved the day, a perfect winter treat! Thanks so much!

Rachel, Omaha

I have been coming to Ingrid's classes for over 2 years now. I continued through pregnancy, and then Ingrid gave me a program to do at home. I love Ingrids' energy and style she teaches. She is passionate about yoga and health and that shines through! Ingrid's knowledge is fantastic and I love that she always seems to be learning something! Very inspiring.
