Experience Pacific-Inspired Wellness in Your Community 🌴

Matua Pasifika offers a unique approach to fitness and wellbeing by incorporating Pacific cultural elements into each session. This holistic programme recognises the importance of both physical health and cultural connection for older adults.

The physical activities are tailored for participants who have reasonable to good mobility.

These exercises can be adapted to suit your comfort level, making the class accessible for different fitness abilities.

Beyond exercise, Matua Pasifika creates a warm, supportive space where you can:

• Build relationships - Form meaningful connections with others in your community

The programme recognises that wellness encompasses more than physical health—it includes cultural identity, social connections, and mental wellbeing. By participating in Matua Pasifika, you're not just exercising your body; you're nurturing your whole self within a supportive community framework.

Whether you're of Pacific heritage or simply interested in experiencing Pacific culture, you'll find a warm welcome at these sessions. The inclusive atmosphere makes it easy to join in, regardless of your previous experience with Pacific traditions or exercise programmes.
