Weekly Hatha Yoga Classes
Regular Yoga classes are a great way to learn the fundamentals of Yoga, build fitness and strength, lower stress, and to meet like-minded people. It is a little bit of time just for you to explore Yoga and your re-connection to your body, mind and breath. The integration of these aspects of ourselves allows us to connect to our inner, deeper wisdom and to be peaceful in the world around us.
But this type of work when done on our own, takes effort, consistency and commitment. It is a great start to attend a regular class, where the group’s energy and dynamics can support and motivate your own personal practice. We invite you to join us on this journey!
In our classes, we will work though the foundation postures (asana) and simple breathing practices (pranayama) plus some basic philosophy to help get a feel for what Yoga is all about. There is a big emphasis on how to work with your particular body, rather than you trying to fit into a particular postural shape. You don't need to be flexible, coordinated or strong, these are some of the great benefits of practicing, not prerequisites. Our goal as facilitators is to support you in being able to remember the principles of the class off the mat and begin to apply them to everyday life.
When: Mondays, 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Where: The Art of Living Centre, 93 Lansford Cres, Avondale
Cost: Casual Classes: $10 & 10x Class Pass: $90

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

Why make picking up reserved library books harder? What do you think? Challenge: Write the last stanza for the first poem attached below.
Once books are reserved in Auckland Libraries books, when they are available no longer go alphabetically by customer but instead go into a Holds pickup shelf number based presumably somehow on when each book needs to be picked up by.
I had two books reserved that arrived on two different days in the Blockhouse Bay Library and hence each book has a different shelf number. Hard to find unless you knew the shelf number in the notification email. Even if you knew the shelf number I found myself three books by the same author on the two shelf numbers.
More recently yesterday a book I reserved was on a different shelf number than was specified in my notification email (see image below).
Sadly it is clear from library staff that a numerical system for reserves is here to stay.
I suggest that so that all books for each person has the same shelf number, the shelf number becomes the last digit of a person's library card (0-9).
Within each shelf number a book is found under the day the reserve arrives in the library (01 to 31, hopefully the same date the email is sent).
Since a customer appears to have 10 days to pick up a book, ten days of the month would appear to be required at any time (for each digit 0-9).
Once there are 10 days used the next day's reserves could go back at the beginning of the shelf number after any remaining books not collected (hopefully none) are removed (along with the old day number and the new day number (01 to 31) inserted) after the last day available and future days' books remaining moved forward to make room.
Each day number (01-31) would appear once for each shelf number (0-9) before the first book on that day- perhaps cover an old withdrawn book with paper with each day number on the spine?
When a reserved book arrives in the library the last digit of the library card could be placed on a piece of paper in the book to be removed when it is put on the shelf, to be recycled the next day.
What do you think?
