August 2026 Newsletter

Kia ora everyone,

As we move through winter, our classes have been embracing the spirit of Matariki through a special six-week themed series led by Ed and Jill. Matariki marks the Māori New Year and is a time to pause, reflect on the past, remember those who have gone before us, celebrate the present, and set intentions for the year ahead. We hope these themes have added another layer of meaning to your practice and encourage you to take a little of that reflection beyond the mat.

A little Matariki reflection: What is one intention you'd like to nurture over the coming year, both on and off the mat?

Ed will be heading home to South Africa for a few weeks at the end of August. During this time, Jill will be teaching the Wednesday Vinyasa classes on 26 August and 2 September, while a wonderful teacher named Eleonora will be covering the Thursday Yin classes on 27 August and 3 September. We're grateful to have such experienced teachers keeping everything flowing while Ed is away.

A friendly reminder to book your classes in advance whenever possible. Advance bookings really help us with planning and ensure classes run smoothly for everyone.

As always, we look forward to seeing you on the mat soon!

"Just as no constellation exists because of one star alone, this community is made richer because each of you is here.”

Namaste,

Jill & Ed
