Embrace Wellness by Manlee W Arvostelua 

I’ve been going to Manlee’s Blissful Stretch & Yoga Nidra class regularly for a few months now, and it’s honestly become one of my favourite parts of the week.

The stretching is gentle but really effective, and I can feel my body slowly letting go of tension each time. Manlee guides us with patience and care.

The Yoga Nidra at the end is always beautiful. Her soothing voice and gentle guidance help me switch off completely, and I often leave feeling like I’ve had the deepest rest.

I’d really recommend this yoga stretch class to anyone who needs time to slow down and relax after a busy week.

Manlee’s yoga classes and meditation/sound bath retreats are truly restorative. I value the forethought and care she takes in making every class a unique blend of her broad training and the gentle challenge it brings to the practice. Highly recommended!

Manlee’s sound bath retreat was a beautiful and relaxing experience. The quality of the meditation was exceptional and the environment which was created allowed to really switch off and let the sounds and soothing voice take you into an amazing state of relaxation. Can’t wait to do again! Thank you Manlee, I loved it

Manlee is an amazing instructor, calm, patient and very clear instructions
Her small classes making the teaching a very personal experience. I have now attended six classes and have learnt so much about moving and positioning my body correctly. Historic back pain is much easier to manage I cannot recommend her classes highly enough

I recently attended two yoga arm balance workshops with Manlee and they were amazing! Manlee stated from the very beginning that we were not there to “achieve” anything, only to experiment in a safe space and learn more about yoga and our body anatomy. This made me feel very comfortable within the sessions as I did not have to worry or become disheartened if I wasn’t able to execute a certain balance. The space Manlee curates and her method of teaching is always so pleasant, and always inspires me in my yoga practice. Additionally, Manlee always prepares such excellent guides and references to aid in her workshops. For the arm balance workshop, she created lovely detailed printed guides of each of the balances we tried so we can practice safely at home too. Manlee is a wonderful teacher, I truly recommend any of her classes or workshops! 🤍🧘‍♀️

I recently attended two excellent Arm Balance workshops led by Manlee. She is an incredibly inspiring instructor and her workshops really helped me with my approach to balancing, teaching me to move with gentle awareness and curiosity while affirming "I am stronger than I think". Indeed I am! Both workshops offered such a great variety of interesting challenges and so much helpful guidance on the subtleties of finding that "light point" where balance is discovered. When I found it, it was so rewarding. I highly recommend these workshops.

I had my first private sound bath experience today with Manlee and it was the most peaceful wonderful experience. Manlee was so lovely and had such an amazing aura. She was clearly very passionate about what she does.
I look forward to trying one of Manlees yoga sessions and another sound bath.

have been attending Manlee’s Blissful Stretch & Yoga Nidra for Better Sleep class for a few months now. Manlee is a brilliant instructor who takes the time to make sure I am doing the stretches correctly. Her attention to detail is amazing. Even in a full class, I feel as if it was a private session. Each class is different, and I feel better after each class and sleep better that night. I have been having lower back issues, but this class has improved the issues that I was having. I can not recommend her class enough.

I have been regularly attending Manlee’s yoga and stretch classes for well over 2 years. I also recently attended one of Manlee’s Japanese wellness retreats. Manlee’s classes are always well attended, which is a testimony to her skill and popularity.
Manlee combines excellent technical and creative skill with a gentle, yet subtly demanding, approach to her classes.
Manlee regularly introduces new moves into her repertoire which makes the classes feel refreshingly new and vibrant. In addition to building core strength, mobility and suppleness, after Manlee’s classes there is a sense of physical and mental harmony. It is obvious that Manlee puts a lot of thought and effort into each one of her classes.
Manlee has excellent people and teaching skills. Even in a class setting, each one of us feels personally valued. Whilst demanding, Manlee always encourages us work within our physical limitations. Her classes are always very enjoyable.

I can’t recommend Manlee,highly enough! She is an absolutely fantastic yoga instructor — knowledgeable, patient and incredibly welcoming. She explains everything clearly and makes you feel completely comfortable, whatever your ability or experience.

Her classes are always enjoyable and have such a lovely, positive atmosphere. You can really tell how passionate she is about what she does, and she takes the time to make sure everyone gets the most from each session.

I always leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and so much better than when I arrived. A brilliant instructor and a genuinely lovely person. Highly recommended! 🧘‍♀️✨ Mandy

I’ve attended both group and private sessions of Manlee's yoga class, sound bath with guided meditation and mindful eating. Every experience had been wonderful!!! Her energy is so uplifting and her voice is super soothing, making it easy to stay engaged.. In Manlee’s yoga classes, she explains each movement really well, which helps me stay focused. I often get easily distracted, but with Manlee’s guidance I can fully immersed in the practice, both physically and spiritually. Every time, whether it’s a group or private session, I leave feeling satisfied and can’t wait for the next one. It’s a delightful way to enhance my everyday life, and I highly recommend yoga, guided meditation, sound bath or any other mindfulness sessions with Manlee!
