WHAT IS KEMETIC YOGA?
Kemetic Yoga is the ancient Egyptian system of Yoga enlightenment based upon the practices of physical movements combined with controlled deep breathing and meditation. It is a healing and regenerative Yoga system that is characterized by a series of geometrically progressive postures that creates alignment of the spinal column and corrects defects in the skeletal muscular system in order to relieve stress, increase blood circulation, nutrient and oxygen supply to vital body systems, and to allow internal life force energy and cerebral spinal fluid to flow more efficiently and abundantly throughout the entire body.

NINAKAYE'S YOGA JOURNEY
Throughout my life there has always been yoga. I began attending classes at the age of 14 after my parents separated and over the years continued.
My personal practice of yoga carried me through times of hardship, depression and emotional turmoil. As an adult I would invest in and attend daily classes at various yoga studios, however, I often wondered if there was much more to it than met the eye.
One day I turned up to class and the regular instructor was unwell so an elderly Indian man had come to relieve for her. I recall how rude my fellow class participants were, because he wasn't the young, fit gym bunny that usually took us. However once he began class it was apparent that what we were receiving was a humbling yoga experience like no other before. I believed this is because this man was more connected to the source of what yoga truly is. It completely rocked me and drove me to search for deeper yoga experiences in Aotearoa, of which I didn't come up with many.
In 2011, I found a man on the internet called Yirser Rā Hotep. He was involved in the original research and documentation of an ancient practice now known as Kemetic Yoga. I made contact with him and we began to plan, until eventually in July 2016 I took a friend and flew to Jamaica to become certified in his YogaSkills Method of Kemetic Yoga. Today, I feel privileged to say that I am a Kemetic Yoga Instructor. I believe this programme is healing the world.
BIOGRAPHY
I have been hugely passionate about the health and wellbeing of people since I saved my own life 20 years ago. I am a survivor of years of alcohol abuse, drug addiction and work within the sex industry, and have lived a life free of all these things for over 15 years now. I have 3 beautiful children who are my greatest teachers, and a wealth of whānau (family) and friends who I constantly look to for advice, inspiration and support.
In 2001 in Auckland I was given the opportunity to work in hauora (health) as an Alcohol & Drug Health Promoter with rangatahi Māori (Māori youth). I stayed in this mahi (work) for a number of years before moving to Waikato with my whānau (family). After a bout of depression, I trained myself back to wellness, and was offered a job in the fitness industry as a trainer and group fitness instructor of yoga, free weights and circuit classes. I did this for a few years until a full-time opportunity arose to manage my brother, his company, record label and musical career (www.tikidub.com).
Through the years that followed, I continued to teach and train people on the side also and have maintained my passion for hauora and helping others, both at an individual level and at a community level too. The potential for hau-ora is something that exists wherever there is hau or vital essence.. which is every corner of the world, therefore it is always relevant to inspire hauora. Even the NZ music industry has its own vital essence that requires positive help, growth and development.
Thank you for joining my page and I hope that within it you can gain some inspiration for your own journey. I'd love to see you at a class soon!
