🚴‍♀️ New Bike Racks are Here! 🧘‍♂️

Skip the traffic, forget the parking struggle, and sneak in a little pre-class warm-up! The council has just installed brand-new bike racks right outside our front doors.

Now you can cruise straight to class stress-free.

Two quick things to note:
🔒 Lock it up: Don't forget to bring a decent, sturdy bike lock to keep your ride secure.
🧘 Mat dilemmas? If you want to ride but aren't sure how to wrangle your yoga mat on two wheels, don't sweat it. Drop us an email at admin@yogacorner.co.nz and we can chat about some easy options!

See you on the mat (and the bike path) soon! ✨

Today, we hold space for all the incredible women in our Yoga Corner community. 🌸✨

Motherhood wears many different faces, and today we honour them all. Whether you are a mother, a grandmother, an aunty, a sister, or a daughter—your nurturing energy is what binds our community together.

Today, we celebrate:
✨ The Mums-to-be waiting with hope and anticipation.
✨ The Fur Mums and their unconditional love.
✨ The Mums who have lost, holding space for what is no longer in their arms but forever in their hearts.
✨ The Mother figures who lead with love and wisdom.

💖 A special note for our Studio Mum, Maria:
We want to take a moment to specially honour Maria. She has mothered this entire community and our teacher trainees with so much grace, all while being a devoted mother and grandmother to her own beautiful family. We love you, Maria!

Experience the magic of Maria's teaching:
Don't forget to join her today from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM for a special 90-minute Mother's Day Yin + Nidra. It is pure bliss, and remember—you can bring your mother or daughter for free!

We see you, we honour you, and we celebrate the strength and grace you bring to our studio every day.

Wishing you a day of peace, reflection, and perhaps a little extra stillness on your mat. Happy Mother’s Day to you all. 💖

✨ A Special Evening: Sound Healing with Claudio Escutia ✨

Lower Hutt, we are so excited to welcome renowned multi-instrumentalist Claudio Escutia to Yoga Corner for the first time!

Step away from the rush of daily life and join us for a transformative two-hour journey. Using a blend of Gongs, Crystal Singing Bowls, Tibetan Bowls, and traditional instruments like the Sitar and Native American Flute, Claudio creates a landscape of sound designed to help your nervous system recalibrate and your mind find true stillness. 🌿🎶

📍 Where: Yoga Corner Lower Hutt
🗓️ When: Saturday, May 23rd
⏰ Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
💰 Investment: $45

This is a stationary practice of deep rest. As the "thinking mind" softens, you'll find a connection to *citta*—the heart-mind—where silence arises naturally through sound.

✨ Open to Everyone: No yoga or meditation experience is required. Just bring an open heart and a desire for rest.

🧤 What to Bring:
To stay cosy as your body temperature drops during deep relaxation, please bring:
* Your yoga mat
* A thick, warm blanket
* Small pillows and an eye pillow

Spaces for this special event are limited. Don’t miss this rare blend of technical mastery and ancient healing power right here in our studio.

FYI for those travelling to our studio this week.

Here’s a list of all the major work happening in Lower Hutt from 13 April to 17 April that’s likely to affect your travel.

If you’re travelling into or out of Lower Hutt at peak times, State Highway 2 is still the more efficient way to travel this week.

There's still ongoing delays with long-term closures on Queens Drive, High Street, and Pharazyn Street as part of the State Highway 2 Melling Transport Improvements project.

You can expect delays in the city centre as Wellington Electricity continue with the relocation of underground cable across the city.

On Andrews Avenue/Daly Street roundabout, there will be traffic management from April 13.

There's overnight closures on Rutherford Street for northbound traffic from Melling Link Bridge between 7pm to 5am and on Connolly Street for southbound traffic from Mills Street between 7pm to 5am. There'll be stop/go and traffic signals in place during the day on Connolly Street. Make sure you follow the signposted detours.

This work is part of the wider Te Awa Kairangi - Delivering RiverLink project. Follow our page if you aren’t already to get the latest updates on work happening in the city, and on our progress building the new Melling interchange on SH2.

On the rest of State Highway 2 through the Hutt Valley, a southbound road closure will be in place on Thursday night (16 April) between Fergusson Drive and Totara Park for water and wastewater works.

The southbound off-ramp at Ngauranga is also closing Monday-Thursday (13-18 April) nights from 9pm for various works.

Travel safely, and have a great week ahead.
