Kia ora! I’m Emma Kennedy, the administrative assistant at Yoga Sanctuary, where I’m thrilled to support the team and help create a peaceful and welcoming environment for everyone. Originally from New Zealand, I lived in the UK for 15 years before returning home in 2015 to raise my two wonderful boys.

Before joining Yoga Sanctuary, I spent five years with Seed, a local company, crafting delicious gluten-free seed crackers.  It was such a rewarding job making such a delicious product which I still make for myself to this day.

Before having a family I enjoyed a fulfilling career with Flight Centre in the UK, where I started as a travel consultant and progressed through various leadership roles, including Assistant Team Leader and Team Leader. My experience in customer service and team management has given me a strong foundation for supporting clients and working collaboratively in my current role.

Outside of work, I love being part of the East Coast Bays community. Whether it’s spending time with my family, connecting with locals, or enjoying the natural beauty of the area, I feel truly at home here.

I’m excited to be a part of the Yoga Sanctuary team, and I look forward to contributing to our shared mission of wellness and mindfulness in the community.
