Descrição
Whangarei, 2 hrs drive North of Auckland.
Recently, I moved to a modern house with fantastic panoramic views over Whangārei, water view toward Onerahi & Mt Manaia.
There is a huge deck outside for practicing yoga as well as a large indoor space where I use the rebounder & wobble/balance boards.
Yoga sharing - from time to time, we hire a room at the main library - they give a low charge as they know I do not charge for the yoga workshop.
Lovely Tutukaka beaches & Poor Knights island (diving center) is less than 30 mins drive from here.
++++++++++++
I have lived most of my life in London, also 5 yrs in the mountains in the SW of France where I started to meditate.
Born in Penang, Malaysia. Worked in Oz for 6 years, Switzerland, Malaysia & of course in the UK.
I travelled extensively & enjoyed skiing, wind boarding, badminton, tried hang gliding, paragliding, zip wire recently.
I am a trained yoga instructor, now sharing yoga & living a quieter, healthier life. I'm now proficient enough to share beginner's techniques to using the wobble/balance boards/ball ( Bosu).
Love the company of positive people with a good sense of humour, an open mind & are happy to learn & share. (:

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
As a trained & qualified yoga instructor I can share yoga & help in learning about the 'law of attraction''. The goal of the yoga I share is meditation, body beautiful is a bonus 😉
Previous cultural exchangees learnt new skills in DIY, yoga, language, gardening, cooking & much more.
Currently doing yoga on wobble/balance boards....
Ajuda
Mainly gardening (planting, weeding, lawn mowing), painting, creative landscaping (Hundertwasser style would be ambitious 😉) & edimental garden.
Housework like cleaning windows if wet weather.
Joint experiments in trying out new baking recipes. Acquired new skills in cooking a few more vegetarian dishes.
I can also offer yoga instructions leading to meditation (Yoga & assistance in preparing food time is not included in the help hours - average 4.5 hours per day).
I am looking for people who are reliable, flexible, cheerful, responsible & are happy to cooperate who can stay for initially 1 week (longer if mutually beneficial & convenient).
Much appreciated if telephone use is kept to the evening or during break time.
It is expected that the accommodation is left as good as found. Arrivals preferably at the BEGINning of the week, BEFORE noon please!
A sunny & positive disposition is ESSENTIAL (even when it rains!) ;-)
SCENT/ (synthetic, deodorant, sprays etc) free environment!
A no waste culture in operation.
Please email with ADEQUATE details so I can work out if you are likely to be happy here .
Invitation is sent normally within 1 week.
Wishing everyone a great
cultural exchange experience in amazing Aotearoa.
Namastē , Leela (:

Acomodação
It's a modern house I've moved to recently. It has>180° views over Whangārei, water view towards Onerahi, Mt Manaia.
Food can be included (shared cooking) or excluded - in return for less work hours
I am a flexitarian and quite happy to learn vegan/vegetarian ways.
Algo mais...
The location of the residence is only a few minutes walk to the bus stop, a short bus ride and you are in town.
I'm sure someone fit can walk into town in less than 30 mins 🤸
The latest attraction in Whangarei is the beautiful & quirky Hundertwassar center.
The Aquatic ctr is also a favourite it has several pools indoor & outside, gym, spa and sauna.
Growers market on Saturdays where I normally breakfast with delicious food from Hari Khrisna (Food for life).
Beaches nearby - well much much more, that's why our local slogan is 'we love it here'❣️
