Book for Term 3 before 1 July and avoid any price rises
For the first time in over three years we are having to put up our fees for our city courses (Levels 1 to 4). But, if you book for your term 3 courses before 1 July, you can still pay on the old rates. You can book in by calling us on 8353 0000 or book online.
New Level 3 course starting in Term 3
We'll be adding a second Level 3 course from Term 3 onwards. It will be on Tuesdays at 5.45 pm, and will be lead by John Burston. The course will cover the same material as the Thursday classes, so you can swap classes from week to week if you need to. Click here for dates.

| Three meditation tips for winter. . . |
|
Practise some informal meditations through the winter, and as a bonus look after your health too. Some tips:
- Hello sunshine: if you can, get some time outdoors, take a walk at the beach or in the hills, even try a bike ride - anything that will get you moving outdoors. Exposure to sunshine has a significant effect in boosting feelings of wellbeing in winter time.
- Cool moments: take a moment to notice the feeling of the cool air on your skin - often we try to avoid any feeling of cold, but instead use it as a meditation
- Breathe fresh: rug up and try a short breathing meditation outside - breathe in the freshness of the cool air, listen for the bird calls, notice how your senses come alive when you are outside.

Sometimes having less things happening can be much better for getting things done, or for keeping your mind clear. Here's a short mp3 from
