Women’s Federation for World Peace NZ
Report on the meeting held Saturday 31st August 2019 at the Parnell Peace Embassy, from 2pm to 4.30pm.
Theme: The connection between Yoga and Stress Management.
Many young people attended the meeting and for some it was the first time to attend a WFWP meeting. Mrs Felicity Cairns President WFWP NZ gave a brief introduction of WFWP’s vision, mission and local activities.
Hanna Cleaver kindly offered to conduct a forty minute yoga session for us after her talk on stress management on a previous occasion. The young people participated on the mats and senior members of WFWP sat on chairs at the back of the room. Fortunately, Uma Chopra joined WFWP as a new member that day and she is also a yoga instructor. She volunteered to show the ladies on the chairs the movements they could do, while Hanna instructed the young people. Beautiful music played to relax our minds while our bodies moved in tune.
Afterwards we talked over tea and coffee. We look forward to meeting each other again at the next occasion.
We would like to thank Hannah and Uma for making this a very enjoyable and relaxing session.
