ON THE BLOCK
BRONWYN MACKIE
Bronwyn teaches Pilates, yoga, and meditation full-time in Auckland, but her real credential is a life spent embodying the practice — nearly a decade teaching yoga on super yachts and private islands, a year of study in India, and a season in Mexico refining handstands. A first ten-day Vipassana course in 2018 changed her irrevocably, and she's deepened that practice in silence ever since.
What sets Bronwyn apart is her focus on embodiment over instruction — she teaches from lived experience, not just theory. Her sessions build physical strength and awareness while gently working to dissolve the unconscious patterns that keep us small, and she now extends that work online through meditation mentoring, borderless and accessible.
