FREE YOGA at the Auckland Botanic Gardens

Angeli from Manurewa

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! :)

Step by step for a great cause!

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Our amazing Hillary Hikers from Edmund Hillary Village showed their support for Bowel Cancer New Zealand's Move Your Butt campaign this month!

Sporting the bright purple and orange campaign shirts, these wonderful walkers hit the Auckland waterfront and marched from Mission Bay to Kohimarama, raising awareness for bowel cancer and the importance of early detection along the way.
