Stretch out for the week ahead

Head along to Yoga with Clare. Clare’s classes are for all abilities. Why not sneak off after dinner and join for Monday evening Yoga at the Vintage Car Club.

If you’re looking for a different kind of workout of body and mind, why not learn a new skill too, with Self Defense classes.

Te Whare Koa Marae is hosting this amazing community initiative, run by Mr Mak.

“This is not Fight Club. This is Escape Club. The goal is to get out of trouble with the least physical and mental damage.”

Feeling sporty?

I’m not known for my sporting abilities but I am sure we can all appreciate the time our local sporting coaches take in supporting our diverse range of Waitaki sports teams.

If you are a coach or are about to dip your toes in, clear your Tuesday night.

Sport Otago’s Coach Development Workshop series is back for Phase 3.

Levelling up for 2026 winter sport, starting the summer season strong or taking your first steps in coaching – wherever you're at, and whatever your sport, these workshops are for you.

After all that hard work it’s time for a treat, don’t you agree?
