It's so easy to stay at home on winter evenings, when it's dark outside, and feels like it's mostly been raining! Keeping your body moving though, and giving yourself some time to move, breathe and stretch, is just as important now as at any other time of year.

At Yoga for Stiff People we move at a nice, slow pace. I'll guide you through detailed instruction on how to move and what you may feel in each pose, helping you find more ease and comfort in your body. The vibe is good-humoured and supportive, and you don't need to know anything about yoga, or even be able to bend very much at all!

Join me at-

- the Ōakura Hall Supper Room, 9am Sundays
- Waimanu Studio, McGiven Drive, New Plymouth, on Tuesdays at 6pm

Book your spot at www.shineyoga.co.nz... or get in touch if you have any questions at hello@shineyoga.co.nz. I'd love to hear from you!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The struggle is real; not enough energy, and no motivation to actually stick with your good intentions to look after yourself better.
Or worse: no idea where to start to support yourself naturally and spending a significant amount on 'quick-fixes' that just don't work for you.
A naturopathic consultation is holistic, specific to your exact needs, and can help you greatly to improve those aspects of your wellness you are struggling with, and more. Think exhaustion, burnout, hormonal imbalance, digestive issues, headaches, PMS, PMDD, per-menopause.
If you are looking for realistic and natural support,

VIOLIN, Case and Bow - Handcrafted in NP

The sound of factory violins can deter students from wanting to play. Rekindle the passion with an affordable, handcrafted instrument and bow direct from the artisan.

I make string instruments, and have this player package for sale.
The violin and bow are both to my own design.
VIOLIN:
Has deep arching for a mellow tone.
Maple backs, sides and neck, with spruce face. Fingerboards, tailpieces and chins for each instrument are cut from the same pieces of Rimu.
Strings are always Pirastro Tonica (is easier for me to compare tone between instruments).
Note that each instrument has a unique purfling design, and the back of each scroll is carved with a Kowhai motif.
Varnish is traditional shellac and rosin combination.
The construction history and details of each instrument can be found on my website
"violinsbyjoel.blogspot.com...

BOW: Also to my own design - a geniune J. Dodd bow, just not the London maker! I cut it from a piece of upcycled Rimu, and I used American white oak for the frog with real Mother of Pearl slider. The tip plate is bone.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding the sale. Prices are negotiable, but please be mindful that these are not knocked out in a factory - each is hand crafted by myself.

Negotiable
