Support Local: Move, Connect & Stretch Together

Stretchy Yoga.
Think of Stretchy Yoga as your weekly yoga run club—just with more stretching and less sweating. Each Friday morning, we gather at Bayfield Primary School to move mindfully, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with ourselves and each other.

Every session features a different style of yoga, offering variety and balance to your week. After practice, the connection continues over what we call “Social Stretching”—coffee, matcha, scones, and good chats at .

Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned stretcher, every body is welcome. Come for the movement, stay for the magic. We promise it’ll be the highlight of your week.

🚴‍♂️ Neighbourhood Spotlight: Precision Bike Fit at Cyco, Kingsland
⁠
Looking to ride stronger, faster, and more comfortably? We visited the team at Cyco to learn how their Precision Fit can transform your time in the saddle. ⁠
⁠
🗣️ It starts with an interview — Your fit begins with a one-on-one chat to learn about you as a rider: your goals, injuries, riding style, and where you feel discomfort.⁠
⁠
🚲 Then, the on-bike assessment — From cleat position to saddle height and handlebar reach, everything is analysed and tailored to your body for peak efficiency and comfort.⁠
⁠
🪑 Saddle pressure mapping — Ever wondered how you’re sitting? The GebioMized pressure mapping system removes the guesswork, helping match you to the perfect saddle and position.⁠
⁠
🔧 Ongoing support — After your fit, you’ll feel the difference. But if something’s not quite right, Cyco offers a follow-up to fine-tune the setup until it’s just right.⁠
⁠
👉 Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just getting started, a Precision Fit can make all the difference. ⁠
⁠
📍Check them out in Kingsland – we love having expert neighbours like this in our community!⁠
