ABOUT HAMISH KENWORTHY

I have degrees in Law and Political Science.  I practiced the law for ten years and was a partner in a prominent Christchurch firm.  I was a litigation lawyer with experience across a wide range of courts and tribunals.  

I spent ten years as a stay-at-home parent raising my two sons.  In that time, I performed a variety of other roles: I tutored in criminal law at the University of Canterbury; I wrote the history of a local law firm for its sesquicentenary; I was Licensee of my sons' preschool, chairperson of their school PTFA and chairperson of their school Board of Governors.

​

In 2010, I trained as a yoga teacher.  In 2011, I began work teaching yoga professionally.  In 2013, I opened a studio called Apollo Power Yoga.  In 2016, I began a yoga teacher training programme called Step into your Power.  I have worked as a mentor and coach and have provided guidance and the benefit of my experience and wisdom to people seeking clarity and direction in their lives.

​

I have taught yoga in public classes, private sessions, in workshops and in training courses to the general public, to highly experienced yoga students, to schools, to professional sports teams including the Canterbury Crusaders (rugby) and the Canterbury Rams (basketball), to work groups and to people of a wide range of experience and ability.

​

I have taught for other studio owners.  I have taught on retreats.  I have been hosted to teach workshops and master classes around the country.  My experience is broad and deep and I have acquired tremendous experience in teaching yogic practices including different styles of yoga practice, meditation, breath work and personal inquiry.
