Meet Echo Chen

A Hobsonville local, Echo Chen has been a dedicated yoga practitioner for almost eight years and is a familiar, friendly face within the Kanuka community - often found practicing as a student as well as teaching.

Echo completed her 200-hour Trauma-Informed Hatha and Flow Yoga Teacher Training with Raw Studio in Milford in 2024, sharing the same training lineage as Raquel, Stu, and Tanija. She has also completed 50 hours of Chair Yoga training, supporting her inclusive and accessible approach to teaching.

Yoga has been a steady and supportive tool for Echo through more challenging periods of life, shaping her belief in yoga as a practice of balance - between effort and ease, both on the mat and beyond it. Her classes are guided by mindful movement and breath, with an emphasis on building strength and flexibility while cultivating a calm, balanced inner space.

Echo loves being part of the Kanuka community and enjoys supporting students to move with awareness, compassion, and curiosity, meeting themselves exactly as they are.
