Changes at Warrior Wellness

Beata Zielinska and Stephen Bunney.

The Warrior Wellness yoga studio on Hillcrest will be changing its name and ownership from 1 February 2026, writes Brian Byrne. It is to become Mountain Flow Yoga & Coaching, operated by Beata Zielinska of No1 Fitness. 

Stephen Bunney, who established Warrior Wellness, is stepping back from the operation due to family commitments and work reasons. Beata, who will continue her work at No1 Fitness, which she founded with Mariusz Oleniczak, says the transition is happening with deep respect for everything Stephen has created. 

"Most of the teachers are staying, the community remains, and yoga continues with some new elements I’ll gently introduce over time," she says, adding that everything at No1 Fitness also stays exactly the same, including all classes and the yoga practice. 

Beata has been attending classes at Warrior Wellness recently, getting to know the teachers and the community. "I feel truly grateful and honoured to step into this role and to care for such a special place and community. I’m really looking forward to growing, learning and sharing this next chapter."
