FREE YOGA at the Auckland Botanic Gardens
Dear neighbours,
Yoga is coming to South Auckland and it's official! It will be for FREE!
I am on a mission to make this beautiful ancient practice available to everyone who always wanted to try it out, but hesitated for various reasons.
Feel free to join now. We will practice together every Saturday morning at 9am. Meet-up is at 8:45am next to the main entrance by the water and will walk to a nice shady spot from there.
If you are a beginner, new to yoga and want to move your body, this practice is for you!
This is the link to the event to let me know you are coming: yogandthegarden.eventbrite.co.nz...
Otherwise feel free to join without RSVP, but remember to put it into your calendar and to tell all your friends and family about it! :)
So looking forward to practicing with you!
With love,
Angeli
PS: BYO mat and an open heart and mind! :)
Also any ages are welcome. Please let me know if you have any previous injuries I need to be aware of. I always offer modifications.
Who am I?
Hi, I am Angeli, a Yoga Teacher and a mum of my one year old son. I live in South Auckland with my family, however I am originally from Germany with Indian background. What I am most passionate about is to inspire and support everyone who surrounds me to live a healthier, happier and more joyful life. I live and breath for self-development and am always curious to find out ways to get to know myself more. I am here to bring Yoga close to everyone who needs it and I believe that a little bit of Yoga for everybody could actually change the world to the better. I am on a mission! :)
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
