This is one of the easiest ways for me to practise my reo.

During reading time we use pākehā seek-and-find books, but instead of asking “Where’s the bowls?” we asked:
Kei whea ngā oko?

A simple formula:
Kei whea = Where is/Where are
te = singular (“the”)
ngā = plural (“the”)
noun = the thing you’re looking for

Examples:

• Kei whea ngā panana? Where are the bananas?
• Kei whea ngā hū? Where are the shoes?
• Kei whea te whāriki? Where is the mat?

Whether you use whea or hea comes down to dialectal differences.

This will be so basic for some, but for me having to look up any kupu I don’t know it’s actually a really valuable learning opportunity.

Really it’s a win win - story time for my boys, study time for me 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

Things yoga has taught me off my mat:

🌱Rest is often the most productive thing you can do to see the most progress.
🌱Progress isn’t a straight line. There are seasons where things feel easy and seasons where it feels like you’re moving backwards. Both are important. Sometimes how we react to the backwards is the most important part of it all.
🌱Strength and softness aren’t opposites. In fact, the more strength I build, the more freedom I find in my movement. The more resilience we have, the more softness we can find.
🌱Sometimes a “good enough” practice is exactly what you need. Showing up for the sake of moving your body will always beat waiting for the perfect workout, the perfect mood, or the perfect amount of motivation.
Just show up.
🌱Yoga has a way of holding up a mirror. How you respond when things get hard on the mat often isn’t that different from how you respond when things get hard in life.

The older I get, the more yoga becomes a practice in perspective ➿

If you’ve been meaning to start, or start again, this is your reminder that you don’t need to be flexible, fit, motivated, or “good at yoga.

Just start where you are. Join us for in person Cambridge classes or on After Bedtime Yoga on YouTube 🤍

Always so much to learn in Te Reo Māori but 5 per week makes it feel so much more manageable for me.

It’s been two weeks since I actually posted what I’m learning so Āku whakapāha, been surviving not thriving 😂

mōkarakara - to be savoury, appetising
mākihakiha - to be bland
kini - to be bitter
āwenewene - to be sickly sweet
makue - tasty

Mōrena e kare mā,

Today is the last day to book for yoga for June, I have two spaces left for the entire month. Classes for the month start tonight.

An opportunity to move your body, build strength & resilience, find deep breath & softness, stretch & join the most beautiful community. We really are very lucky! It’s also great motivation in the winter months when you know you have committed to something for yourself!

Ānei e hoa mā.

These are some of the recommendations for waiata to learn from our hoa on TikTok & Instagram (ngā mihi nui ki a koutou ❤️) & also ones from the Aotearoa songbook on Spotify.

I’ve only learnt 3 so far. As you can hear from the audio on this of our nightly routine - I’m not a singer at all 😂 but every night before moe (as you can hear EVEN WHEN IM MĀUIUI AS) I will practice on my tamariki.

They get a waiata (or the same waiata x20 😂) at bedtime & I get to tuhia ki tōku rae - engrain it in my memory.

NEVER AGAIN SHALL I BE CAUGHT OUT NOT KNOWING WAIATA MĀORI. Āmene ❤️

Also don’t @ me for whether these are suitable or not for waiata Tautoko - i trusted you guys & guess I will figure that out as I go and get the translations for them & understand their meanings 😘 & lets be honest there is probably a typo or two in this document but I’m just sharing what I’m going off at the moment x

He aha tāu? 🦋

My two year old just asked me he aha tāu bae? When I asked him where we had just been 😂😂 the most chaotic bilingual sentence I’ve ever heard and I couldn’t stop laughing.

He aha tāu kōrero is the full form (what did you say?)
But in real life, in fast conversation, we clip it in down to just he aha tāu?

Apparently when you grow up hearing Te Reo AND your pāpā’s slang, you land somewhere in between 😂😂

The fact he knows as well that I won’t like being called bae but adds it in anyway & laughs 🙃 you’re your pāpā’s tama alright 🫠

But a good phrase to use nonetheless e te whānau, maybe just leave the bae off it though 😂

My Kupu hou this week 🖤❤️🤍

I made a typo in my TikTok for buttocks that’s why it is also a different font 😂 rushing woman syndrome over here which I’m trying to get better at slowing down.

My partner says I never properly finish anything but that’s because I start so many things & want to do everything & have the attention span of a goldfish 😂😂😂

Kia pai te wiki x
