A Restorative Breathwork Experience for Wāhine (Women)

Join us for a special afternoon at Polynesian Spa with Shannon Rose, founder of HineHau and one of Aotearoa’s leading breathwork practitioners. This immersive three-hour workshop invites wāhine (women) of all backgrounds to connect through the power of Te Hā (the breath), in a safe, supportive, and reflective environment.

Through guided storytelling, breath practices, and mindful journaling, Shannon will introduce you to BreathWav™ – a circular connected breathing method that supports release, balance, and renewal. The session will explore the Māori creation realms of Te Pō (the darkness), Te Kore (the void), and Te Ao Mārama (the world of light), and their connection to wellbeing and emotional flow.

Leave feeling grounded, clear, and reconnected to your natural rhythm.

• Purākau (Storytelling) – Māori creation stories on the whakapapa (genealogy) of the breath
• Kōrero (Discussion) – guided exploration of breath and nervous system connection
• BreathWav™ Journey – a 60-minute circular breath practice for release and clarity
