Waimate Event Centre

Volunteering can be a rewarding way to give to others and to learn some new skills. But it's also important to look after yourself. To celebrate National Volunteer Week 2023, we are offering t﻿his event to all volunteers and volunteer managers of NFP organisations on 22 June with Leigh Marsden to show us how some breathwork and relaxation stretches for mental wellbeing. S﻿cientific studies have shown that controlling your breath can help to manage stress and stress-related conditions. Many people use their breathing to help promote relaxation and reduce stress. L﻿eigh is a Mum of 2 girls, aged 9 and 11. They have done homeschool together for the past 4 years. She's the author of 10 novels, 2 of which were published by Penguin Random House NZ/Australia, and 7 by a US based e-book company. She's also a speech and language therapist, specializing in Adult neurological disorders. She's been practicing yoga for 20 years. She started teaching yoga 7 years ago, after some friends asked her to help them with yoga for their sore backs. She's now taught thousands of classes, including silent yoga and meditation retreats, chair yoga or seniors, children's yoga and relaxation yoga with the NZ fire service, Women's Refuge and St John's. She's very happy to share a small session in celebration of National Volunteer Week.
