You’re invited to join us for a day long Backyard Yoga Festival in Matua, Tauranga to say ta ta to summer and to usher in Autumn with all her splendour.
This is a family friendly event.
Whilst Yoga and Sacred Song classes sit beneath the cherry tree children and adults can come and go mindfully from the classes to rock paint, face paint, chalk the wall mural, eat, frolick and play.
As day glides into night a Vegetarian bring-a-plate long-tabled Banquet and a Variety Show wrap up the festival and farewell you with blessings into Autumn.
The day’s Programme:
10.30am – 12pm Kundalini Yoga with Mari Hall
12.45pm – 1.30pm Laughter Yoga with Erika Van Oirschot
1.30pm – 3.00pm Sacred Song / Kirtan with Premratna & Fiona
3.30pm – 5.00pm Vinyasa Flow from Yang to Yin with Stella Wright
5.30pm – 6.15pm Vegetarian bring-a-plate Banquet
6.30pm – 7.30pm Variety Show (Open Stage Night for young and older people)

Performers:
Do you know a young person or an older person who enjoys sharing their ‘art’? From 6.30pm-7.30pm (after our Vegetarian Banquet) we will have an ‘Open Stage’ within Backyard Yoga Festival.
Suggestions: Yoga Demos, Singing A Capella, Guitar, Poetry, Ukelele, Magic Tricks, Performance Art, A Fascinating thing you can do (perhaps with your body).
To introduce the acts on the night, i need your name and art-form. Comment below OR if you wish to keep it a surprise email: emily@wildandgrace.co.nz
Feel free to share this performance hour widely, to potential performers AND participants. This part of our whanau friendly festival is FREE.
The idea is for our tamariki to see the Arts Come Alive in a Garden. We are the model. When our kids see us valuing the arts, when they see us courageous and willing to ‘risk’ they in turn may be brave, open-hearted and creative.
What would you like to share with us in our Jemily Jardin?
Volunteers:
We need volunteers for set up, pack down and to operate the ticketing booth. Message us here, if you’d like to exchange a 2 hour ‘shift’ for a day pass.

Hi there, just wondering how we get tickets after paying via internet banking? 🙂
Great question. There will be a list of names (as they have appeared on the bank account) at the entrance. i will generate a FAQ with this info sometime tonight (once the kids are asleep). If you need confirmation in writing feel free to email or facebook message me: emily@wildandgrace.co.nz or at http://www.facebook.com/wildandgrace
Hey, Emily so wild and graceful, with up to a hundred people or more coming, where is a good place to park my intercity space ship ? Perhaps a local school ? Maybe in the Manuwai Drive cul de sac and walk through the park ? Cheers, William.
Yes amble through Kings Ave Park if you will, to set your mood. Looking forward to laughing, singing and what-not with you.
