Wanting to do your yoga teacher training so you can be a certified yoga teacher? Why not do it right here in Taupo!

Asia Pacific Yoga has been organising most of our trainings for the past 2 years in Taupo as we really love this part of New Zealand. We can't help it - your region is simply so stunningly beautiful!

Our immersive trainings are popular because we keep our groups small - no more than 9 people - for a comfortable and effective learning experience.

Our next 200 Hour Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training will be held from 26 Jul - 13 Aug in Acacia Bay. Details are on asiapacificyoga.com...

Non accommodation rates are available for Taupo locals who do not wish to stay on site.

NZTA licence renewal scam circulating

A new email scam impersonating the NZTA is being sent around telling vehicle owners their licences are due.

The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.

CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).

How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website

Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.
