HEART FOUNDATION

The Heart Foundation’s Big Heart Appeal is happening on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 February 2018 and we need your help!

The success of our Big Heart Appeal street collection depends on generous people like you, who give 90 minutes or more of their time to collect much-needed funds for the Heart Foundation.

Why 90 minutes?  Because every 90 minutes, another New Zealander dies from heart disease. With your help to shake a collection bucket, we can make more life-saving research into heart disease possible. We need thousands of collectors to shake a bucket and collect donations in our communities. Make it a team effort by getting a group of friends and family together!

Please sign-up to collect for 90 minutes or more at the Big Heart Appeal street collection on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 February 2018 atheartfoundation.org.nz/volunteer or call Annette on 04 472 2780

KIDS & TEENS YOGA

New Year, New Habits!  Kids and Teen Yoga classes for Term 1 begin in February in 3 locations - Lower Hutt, Johnsonville, and Eastbourne. Come to one of our ‘Taster’ classes and give it a go!

Yoga is a form of movement that can be gentle or athletic and is non-competitive. It builds strength of body and mind, balance and flexibility. The yoga teachings include principles of compassion for self and others, discipline and self-study. Kula Kids Yoga classes are playful, imaginative and weave games, song, and story into the practice of the poses.  Yoga for older students fosters positive self-awareness and teaches tools to safely manage stress.  Contact Jeanne of Kula Kids Yoga with questions or to book.
