Your Guide ~ Sandi Murphy
(ERYT500) Yoga Teacher, Teacher Trainer, Actress, Massage Therapist, founder of Nadi Wellness and co- founder of Nadi Wellness Retreats facilitated in Queenstown, New Zealand and Bali, Indonesia.
Sandi has been studying yoga with International Master teachers since 1998 and has been teaching since 2006.
Sandi’s classes are dynamic, eclectic, soulful and flowing weaving together a synergy of Hatha, Vinyasa, mindfulness and embodiment practises which collectively offer a whole body-mind journey. This provides students with an opportunity to deepen in understanding and receive new insight by coming into direct and intimate union with themselves. Sandi emphasises empowering, intuitive, grounding and heart opening alignment principles and also allows time for restoration, philosophy and moments of stillness. Known for her lyrical prose and poetic storytelling she transports people out of the surface “everyday” state, inspiring and awakening them to reconnect to their sacred inner being. She enjoys sharing chanting and personal experience in a light-hearted way.
Sandi co facilitates Bali Retreats annually with Life Coach and Yoga Teacher Amanda Woolridge. The soul journey for the participants is not only relaxing but empowering and transforming as both Sandi and Amanda create a safe container for self-exploration and group sharing.
Sandi co-facilitated her first 200-hour Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 with Tantric Yogini and International teacher Nianna Bray and received further advanced teachings from her in Women’s Wisdom and Women’s empowerment practises. Sandi is now the lead facilitator for the Nadi 200 Hour Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training which is run in a modulised format throughout the year. She has also completed 300 hours of advanced training in Embodied Flow with master teachers Tara Judelle and Scott Lyons.
When she is not teaching yoga you will find Sandi soaking up family time, traveling, bouncing out into nature on a hike, skiing or enjoying a jog to the river. Her dedicated daily ritual includes pre-sleep immersion in the warmth of a candlelit lavender bath. Ah, bliss! Her greatest desire for her students and her vision for Nadi Wellness echoes the most peaceful Mahatma Gandhi:
That we ” be the change we wish to see in the world”
