Friday yin yoga at Greytown Hall anchors the teaching at The Whole Body, where somatic practitioner Rosie Sievers weaves movement with hands-on biodynamic craniosacral therapy, workshops, and retreats. Her classes suit everyone from complete beginners to experienced practitioners, adapting around injuries, pain, and trauma with a trauma-informed emphasis on finding edges for strength and stillness rather than forcing standard postures. Alongside group Yin sessions ($15 drop-in as at 2026), she offers private yoga sessions and gentle, light-touch craniosacral bodywork designed to settle the nervous system, available both in person and online.
Clients who have trained with Sievers in craniosacral bodywork praise her deep grounding as a tutor and practitioner, valuing the spacious, gentle nature of the work for processing stress held in the body. In somatic practices, pairing the sustained, passive floor postures of yin yoga with craniosacral touch allows connective tissues and the nervous system time to unwind without muscular effort. Based in Greytown in South Wairarapa, it is an inviting choice for anyone seeking a thoughtful, restorative practice that listens closely to the body.
