Text/phone me on 0274667123 if you'd like to improve musculo-skeletal function, i.e. posture, coordination, breathing, etc.
Feldenkrais lessons use movement and thinking (not stretching and strengthening) to bring attention to, and change, your movement patterns. Release the tense habits which interfere with comfortable, efficient movement.

Many of those who died were woman and children, as their lifeboats capsized in the wild sea.
Although the Captain was heavily criticised, it is still not clear what the ship hit nor where, as the wreck of the Penguin has never been located.
The tragedy stunned Wellington and a day of mourning was called for 16 February. The city came to a standstill as many of those who died were brought up to Karori Cemetery for burial in a long procession of cabs and lorries.
To commemorate this tragedy the Friends will be undertaking a guided tour of most of the Penguin graves on Sunday 12 February. This is our first attempt by the Friends to widen the knowledge of this tragedy.
The tour will commence at 2.00 at the Shelter which is located in the center of Karori Cemetery and will run for up to two hours starting with a short presentation. The tour covers some uneven ground and sustained uphill stints and so may not be suitable for everyone.
This is a free tour and bookings are required. Bookings can be made by following this link:

Hannah is a fine artist, illustrator and designer who will be resident in the Treehouse between 1 Feb to 1 April 10.30—3pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
She says, “I am interested in the meanings humans read into images. My paintings - whether still life or figurative - play with a make-believe mythology. Memories, objects, and stories handed down from parents and grandparents — or handed up from my children — feature alongside woven and collected natural materials foraged during half-remembered summer holidays”.
The sights and smells of nature during summer and autumn always make her creative sap rise. She says “What a treat to be working in the Gardens amongst such a well of inspiration at this time of year!"
Hannah is looking forward to meeting you at the Treehouse. All art work is for sale with a portion of the sale going towards various Friends projects.
Art classes will also be available – watch this space for further details
Hi Neighbours,
Am I going crazy or has anyone else been hearing a persistent low-frequency hum/rumble (like an idling engine or generator) in the Wilton/Wadestown/Northland area? It’s not loud in terms of decibels but it is very penetrating, seems to be present 24/7 though especially … View moreHi Neighbours,
Am I going crazy or has anyone else been hearing a persistent low-frequency hum/rumble (like an idling engine or generator) in the Wilton/Wadestown/Northland area? It’s not loud in terms of decibels but it is very penetrating, seems to be present 24/7 though especially noticeable in the quiet of night time, and is interfering with sleep. I experience it almost as much as a kind of vibration in my ears as an audible sound. It’s less noticeable outside or when there is other ambient noise (TV, wind/rain etc.) but is definitely coming from outside, at some distance away. I’m at the upper end of Cecil Rd., so I’m wondering if it could be coming from the port? I first noticed it for a couple of weeks over Christmas/new year, then it went away for a few days but has been back again for the past week or so.
I would sure like to know I’m not the only one hearing it! Would also love to know where it’s actually coming from and if it’s something that is likely to stop eventually.
Thanks for any ideas or insights!
