- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.

Yoga for our "golden oldies"

Happiest of days to you all. Hope y'all are well.

Posting this here for those that of you that err toward the golden years, or maybe you know a "golden oldie" that might like to join...?

Yoga for the older bodz and budz. 🙂 Influenced by somatics, these mindful movement and breath practices stimulate flow within in the body, regulate the nervous system, aid in one's balance and mobility.

Plus, they're a good time. I make these classes fun and playful, and it's also an opportunity for "old friends" to make "new" friends! 🥳

Whether one is a "golden-oldie yogi" or a "golden-novice" curious to start their yogic journey (for it's never too late to 😉) these classes will suit all levels.

Thursday mornings 9am
@ The Old Folks Association
Gundry St (just off K' Road near Ponsonby

$15 casual, $70 x5 pass, $110 x10 pass

If coming to a class is not favourable, I also do one-on-one/private sessions. Happy to discuss what your needs are. Likewise, if finances are tight, please reach out.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility. Find out more

Mothers ring

The hall is dimly lit for yoga and I forgot that I had taken it off so I didn’t see it when I was leaving. The choir used the hall straight after with the lights on and I’m hoping somebody found it when they were putting the chairs out for choir or putting them away. It is a gold ring with 2 diamonds on either side of an emerald. It was my late mothers engagement ring so not only is it valuable it is irreplaceable in our family. If you are in the choir and you have any information please pm me.

"Intro to compassion" - Saturday May 20th

Admin from Nyima Tashi Kagyu Buddhist Centre

Generally when we think of compassion, we think of a spontaneous feeling of sympathy or empathy and perhaps even a sense of pity for others, but it is not as simplistic as that--from a Buddhist perspective compassion covers all aspects of positive emotions, which is why compassion is also seen as a transformative emotion rather than seeing compassion as only sharing in the pain and unhappiness of others.
