Cold weather making you feel stiff as a board? I have an idea for you.

Jo from Oakura Coastal

It's so easy to stay at home on winter evenings, when it's dark outside, and feels like it's mostly been raining! Keeping your body moving though, and giving yourself some time to move, breathe and stretch, is just as important now as at any other time of year.

At Yoga for Stiff People we move at a nice, slow pace. I'll guide you through detailed instruction on how to move and what you may feel in each pose, helping you find more ease and comfort in your body. The vibe is good-humoured and supportive, and you don't need to know anything about yoga, or even be able to bend very much at all!

Join me at-

- the Ōakura Hall Supper Room, 9am Sundays
- Waimanu Studio, McGiven Drive, New Plymouth, on Tuesdays at 6pm

Book your spot at www.shineyoga.co.nz... or get in touch if you have any questions at hello@shineyoga.co.nz. I'd love to hear from you!

What's your best cost-saving tip?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Just when we thought the cost of living couldn't climb any higher...it does. While things like fuel prices are out of our control, many of us are looking for small, practical ways to stretch our dollars a bit further. So let’s put our heads together!

Over the next little while, we’ll be sharing tips to help you save money — and we’d love to hear yours too. What’s working for you right now?

Here are a few ideas to get started:
🎉 Plan ahead for the year (birthdays, events, travel) to avoid surprise costs
🪙 Check out $2 shops for everyday items like stationery, baking paper, foil, and cling wrap - often much cheaper than the supermarket
🐖 Bring back the piggy bank and save your loose change
🔨 DIY where you can - like mowing the lawn instead of paying someone
💵 Set a daily budget before heading out and stick to it (cash can help!)
🧴 Stretch household products by diluting things like shampoo or dishwashing liquid
