Yoga for Stiff People has come to Frankley Park on Tuesdays!

Joanna from Oakura Coastal

Do you ever feel like you’re just not flexible enough for yoga? Or that you would like to do yoga, or feel it would be good for you, but that you don't feel like you would 'fit in' to a regular class? If so, this is the class for you!

We'll move at a slower pace, and guide you through detailed instruction on how to move and feel in each pose, helping you find more ease and comfort in your body. We can adapt poses, so that the class is accessible for all bodies wanting to move a little more freely.


This class is also a lovely choice if you are returning to yoga, or simply looking for a slower-paced class.

You are welcome to bring your own mat, or let me know if you would like me to bring one for you. All other equipment is provided. The class is at McGiven Drive, Frankley Park, at 6pm on Tuesdays.

If you're not sure if this class is for you, just get in contact with me, Jo, and I can help you to decide.

Council Meeting for older adults & people with disabilities

Kevin from Glen Avon - Waiwhakaiho

The mayor and a slim majority of the newly elected NPDC councillors are keen to see the, “Age and Accessibility Working Party”, a long-standing Council committee, scrapped.
This is not to save the minimal cost of having such a committee. But simply put; it means these councillors believe that older adults and all those with disabilities in our community do not warrant being recognised, respected or treated as people whose voice is important, to them.
On Thursday 18 December (that is, this coming Thursday) at 10am, in the Council Debating Chamber, the full council will have an opportunity to vote, “to Re-establish an Age and accessibility Working Party”.

But we need your help to get it passed. We need you at the meeting to show your support for this committee. This committee is important for the voice of the older person or people who have accessibility or challenges in our community, to be heard.
We have many in examples of what happens when council fails to listen to people with disabilities, resulting in remedial work costing tens of thousands of dollars.
Let’s support those councillors who do support the reinstatement of this committee.
Please consider joining the myriad of organisations supporting older adults and those with disabilities.
If you cannot come to the Council chambers, email the Mayor and inform him what you think. His email is; max.brough@npdc.govt.org.nz.
I hope that we will see you there.
There is parking for just $1 per hour at the YMCA opposite the Council in Liardet Street.
