ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Hey Mums & Dads,

Are your kids getting too much screen time?
Are they developing a hunched posture?
Do they have problems with low energy, headaches, anxiety, or being constantly distracted?

A regular yoga practice leads to increased focus, creativity, resilience, compassion, and a healthy self-image. It also decreases anxiety & negative behaviours.

We're launching a yoga class for 5 to 8 year olds, at Yoga Collective, Paremata (In Paremata Boating Club)

Running Tuesdays 3:30 to 4:15pm. Starts 31 July. $108 for term 3.

Bookings are essential.

To reserve space for your child, click the following link:

Please share with parents who have kids, who might be interested.

Cheers, Lauren McKee
