Tai Chi at St Hilda's
Hi everyone. The Hapai Hall may be closed, but it's not the only Tai Chi venue in Upper Hutt. Did you know that the hall at St Hilda's, Cruickshank Road has one of the best surfaces I've found in my 10 years as a Tai Chi Instructor? It's padded, and so gives great support to the joints while we practice the gentle, controlled movement and breathing that makes Tai Chi so enjoyable. Whether you work 9-5 or are retired, our class has something for your strength, balance, coordination and mindfulness needs. Beginners or experienced, you are welcome to join us every Tuesday evening, from 7pm - 8pm at St Hilda's, Cruickshank Road. There is plenty of parking too! Hope you see you there

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
