Lachlan Broughton - Yoga
Lachlan (he/him) is originally from Melbourne. He moved to Wellington to study contemporary dance with the New Zealand School of dance, graduating in 2018 with a diploma in elite performance. Here he found his love for yoga and completed 200hr YTT with Awhi Yoga & Wellbeing in 2019, followed by a Meditation & Mindfulness Teacher Training with Moksha Yoga.
Lachlan’s teaching style has a focus in the experiential and feeling based side of yoga, stemming from the Embodied Flow Teacher Training he completed in 2022.
Lachlan has an interest in somatic and movement practices, how we connect with the world around us on the outside, to self on the inside, and the practical application of yoga to everyday life. He believes that yoga shapes don’t have to be perfect (safe, of course), but should be practiced to elicit felt experience so we can connect into the unfolding that’s happening on the outside and in.
Lachlan teaches vinyasa and meditation, and you’ll see him in Heated Flow, Align, Yin and Meditation.
What does AWHI (support) mean to you?
To me, AWHI has the quality of embodiment. The surreal feeling of a warm, full-body hug with a loved one or with the earth. Being held, cradled, embraced and supported. A surrendering. A vibrational aligning. Our beautiful studio is a great manifestation of awhi.
