Join Ruth Diggins (student of TKV Desikachar, Dr Kausthub Desikachar and Mrs Menaka Desikachar) and Mahi Wairua Practitioner and Trainer, Lesley Niania in this unique introduction to the Houses of Wisdom and their similiarities - Yoga and Te Whare Wānanga.

Yoga is more than postures. ​ It's more than a skinny body in lycra tights (says Lesley).​  It's about the unity of Wairua, Hinengaro and Tinana, and how Te H​ā brings them all together. ​ If you can breathe you can do yoga.​ 

Yoga is not dependent on size, or shape. ​ It's about how these ancient knowledge houses are relevant to us today.

In this wānanga we will be working with agni - our internal fire.

We will look at yoga and ayurveda understandings of agni and what contributes to our ability to digest food and also experiences, energy, emotions and wisdom.  Good digestion includes keeping the good stuff and eliminating the toxins.
