Testimonials:

"I have been practising Yoga with Gemma for couple of years and in 2017 I had the pleasure of meeting Mahima at the Aio Wira Centre in the Waitakere Ranges, while on weekend retreat. Since then I have been following them in this life changing journey of ascension meditation, attending a variety of events organised by Gemma and Mahima, who keep surprising me with new ways of exploring yoga and meditation. With their guidance and support Ascension has changed my life. I have learnt that being free, and experiencing life with new found confidence and clarity anytime, anywhere is indeed possible. I am living a richer and happier life. I would never have thought that such a huge change is possible at my age and in such a short period of time. Aio Wira is a magical place, where meditation and yoga have been practised for almost 50 years. It definitely enhances my meditation practice and is why I keep going back. I can’t wait to see what Gemma and Mahima have got in store for us in 2019."

“It has brought a lot of peace and joy into my life, and introduced me to a community of like minded people... I am more grounded, more resilient, and more philosophical about events in my life.”

“This course brought me peace with my inner self, my mind, and the people around me. Just using these techniques really helps a lot and gets me through the day.”

“The main change I've noticed is a very welcome sense of peace... I sleep better, my relationships have improved, I love myself more. I'm choosing to eat better and exercise more and all with more enjoyment. I'm learning to notice, love, appreciate and be more grateful. A better, happier life is being led.”
