Wellington's first certified SpinPoi instructor taking classes now

Deb from Kilbirnie

SpinPoi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted by Dr Kate Riegle van West to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination. For more information on SpinPoi, and to see people playing with poi, go to www.spinpoi.com...

I am currently taking a class on Zoom on Wednesday afternoons, but am looking into more Zoom classes and possibly a class at the Kilbirnie Community Centre (KCC) when we go back to Level 1.

I also take a seated exercise class on a Monday that's suitable for people with arthritis or anyone who can't exercise standing up. This class is endorsed by Arthrtis NZ as suitable for people with arthritis, and by Live Stronger for Longer as an entry level Strength and Balance class for seniors.

At the moment, I'm putting out feelers to get an idea of who might be interested in taking a class, and what times would be suitable.

Current class times (both about 50 minutes):
o Monday, KCC, 10.30 - seated exercise class (during lockdown, later time on Zoom)
o Wednesday, Zoom, 2pm - SpinPoi class (seated or standing)

Other possible times for SpinPoi:
o Tuesday - Zoom, 2pm or 6pm OR KCC, 2pm
o Thursday - Zoom, 2pm or 6pm OR KCC, start any time between 2pm and 5pm

I am also open to using other venues or to combining poi with other seated exercises. Tell me what you need!

If you think you might be interested, or want more information, either reply here or message me.

Hope to hear from some of you. Playing with poi is a lot of fun!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
