BREATH: Big crowds turned out for the sunrise yoga sessions at New Brighton and Sumner beaches.<br />
Beaches become yoga studios<br />
A YOGA teacher with a specialist<br />
interest in women’s health and<br />
hormones is turning Sumner<br />
and New Brighton beaches into<br />
temporary sunrise yoga studios.<br />
Hundreds of people lined New<br />
Brighton beach from 6.30am on<br />
Sunday for Sunrise Yoga with<br />
Posh Porridge – and a swim.<br />
And on March 3 from 7am,<br />
Hillsborough resident Jess<br />
Campbell will be taking her<br />
Sunrise Yoga Club back to<br />
Sumner beach.<br />
The mum of three young girls<br />
and two stepchildren runs the<br />
online yoga studio She Blooms<br />
but teaches mainly from the<br />
O-Studio in the central city.<br />
She started the free beach<br />
classes at Sumner and New<br />
Brighton to help people and offer<br />
something different.<br />
“(We) finish off with an<br />
optional dip in the ocean,<br />
taking time to connect with the<br />
community.”<br />
Following the<br />
30-minute class,<br />
they meet up<br />
for a porridge<br />
breakfast.<br />
Said Jess:<br />
“You’ll also find<br />
me teaching<br />
Jess<br />
Campbell<br />
a community<br />
sunrise yoga class<br />
every second<br />
week here in<br />
Christchurch, these are such<br />
special events that have taken on<br />
a life of their own.<br />
“We move between New<br />
Brighton and Sumner beach,<br />
depending on tides, do a<br />
30-minute flow and then a dip in<br />
the water.<br />
“Sometimes we even<br />
have fabulous people come along<br />
and make food and coffee so<br />
we can chat and connect on the<br />
beach.”<br />
After going through her share<br />
of ups and downs with mental<br />
health and hormonal imbalance,<br />
Jess aims to help others in the<br />
community.<br />
“Having endometriosis since<br />
my teenage years and post-natal<br />
depression after my second child,<br />
it’s needless to say that yoga,<br />
mindfulness and horse riding has<br />
been an unwavering friend and<br />
tool through it all.”<br />

Association<br />
‘upset’ after<br />
tree vandals<br />
strike again<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A TREE in Beachville Reserve has<br />
been cut for the third time since<br />
2020, frustrating efforts to shade<br />
park benches.<br />
The Redcliffs Residents’<br />
Association is “upset and<br />
disappointed” the top half of a<br />
ngaio tree in the council-owned<br />
reserve has been cut off.<br />
The ngaio was planted by the<br />
city council in January 2023 as<br />
a replacement for the second<br />
tree cut in the small reserve in<br />
December 20<strong>22</strong>. The first tree was<br />
cut down to the stump in 2020.<br />
“People are going around,<br />
taking the law into their own<br />
hands, thinking that they’re<br />
entitled to cut down and damage<br />
trees in a public reserve,” said<br />
association secretary<br />
Pat McIntosh.<br />
The association believes the<br />
vandalism is likely a targeted act.<br />
City council community<br />
parks manager Al Hardy said<br />
the vandalism could “reduce<br />
the overall benefits the tree<br />
provides for current and future<br />
generations.”<br />
The health of the tree is<br />
being monitored by the city<br />
council before a replacement is<br />
determined to be necessary.<br />

Cameron Bailey of Harcourts gold is exceptionally good at what he does. Do not<br />
waste your time (and potential life savings) going with anyone else other than<br />
Harcourts gold in Christchurch and surrounding areas. Cam and his team sold<br />
our house in just 3 weeks and the efficiency and professionalism in which they<br />
achieved our desired result was very impressive. I had it on the market originally<br />
with another company for 3 months to no avail.<br />
Cam’s team was a real pleasure to deal with from day one and we knew our<br />
investment was in safe hands. Thanks again Cam, you are awesome.<br />
