Annabelle Penlington
Annabelle is a very bubbly soul that you may have seen over the years around Whitianga working odd summer jobs. She fell in love with vinyasa yoga and Pilates from a young age and devoted her time to reading any yoga or movement book she could get her hands on. At the age of 18 Annabelle moved to London and this is where her style evolved. A mix of new age/ no rules teachers showed her how yoga could be used in so many different ways to reach what the practitioner is searching for. Slow, Fast, Soft, Intense, breath focused and compassion for yourself and others always in mind. Annabelle brings to the mat a practice that allows you to take what you like and leave what you don’t.
