Susan Ansell

I teach day and evening classes in Kapiti (mainly in Waikanae Beach and Reikorangi). I also teach individual and pregnancy yoga classes. I graduated as a KHYF Yoga teacher in 2014. Yoga has supported me throughout my life from teenagehood through to motherhood and beyond! I love providing a space for people to connect to themselves and a space for people to connect as a group and learn together. Whatever the reason that has brought you to yoga – I would be happy to support you in your yoga journey.
