Ngā Wāhanga o te Wānanga
Each section opens like water - one at a time.
Wāhanga 01 - Foundations
Tinana refers to the physical body, yet within Te Ao Māori it is understood as far more than structure or anatomy. Tinana holds lived experience, memory and response. In Pou Tinana, the body is treated as an intelligent participant rather than an object being worked on.
Wāhanga 02 - Breath and Alignment
The mahi hā is based on the karakia Ka takina te kawa. It supports alignment through breath by moving awareness through key states of origin, connection, growth, grounding, learning, and integration.
Wāhanga 03 - The Body Map
Te Papa o te Tinana and Te Takarangi o te Tinana. Upper head and crown. At the crown, awareness descends. Soles of the feet. At the soles, grounding is complete.
Wāhanga 04 - Feet and Legs
Ngā Rekereke - Ankles and Feet and Ngā Waewae - Thighs and Knees. Bring awareness to ngā rekereke (soles of the feet). Acknowledge and feel the mauri gathering at the centre of the rekereke (heel).
Wāhanga 05 - Spine Base and Hips
Te Tara - Sacrum and Lower Spine and Te Hope, Ngā Hope - Hips and Pelvis. Bring awareness to te tara (sacrum). Acknowledge and feel the mauri gathering at the base of the tuarā (spine).
Wāhanga 06 - Belly and Heart
Te Puku - Belly and Solar Plexus and Te Ngākau Heart Centre. Bring awareness to te pito (navel). Acknowledge and feel the mauri gathering here as the breath expands and contracts.
Wāhanga 07 - Chest and Throat
Te Poho - Upper Chest and Te Korokoro Throat. Bring awareness to te poho me te paemanu (upper chest and collarbone). Acknowledge and feel the mauri gathering as it lifts gently into this space.

Heoi anō, ka tuku atu ahau i te tino aroha me te whakamānawa ki ōku mātua, ki a Pani rāua ko Carol, me ōku kuia, ngā puna aroha, arā ko Nanny Sissiel rāua ko Nanny Makareta. Ki tōku Koro Hira (Hila), taku poumanawa, taku matapihi ki te ao tawhito, tēnei taku mihi aroha e kore e mimiti.
Nā ā rātou wairua, ā rātou whakaakoranga, me tō rātou aroha mutunga kore i whakatakoto te tūāpapa o tēnei mahi whakahirahira e takoto nei i mua i a tātou i tēnei rā. Ko tā rātou mātauranga te rama e kawe nei i ahau i runga i tēnei ara.
Ka tika, me tuku anō he mihi hōhonu ki ngā akoranga hirahira a Pāpa Hōhepa Delamere me ngā tohutohu whakaaweawe a Dr Turumakina rāua ko Ifyrefini Duley, Pāpa Mark rāua ko Dr Diana Kopua, Ruatau Perez, Rikki Solomon me Te Waitere Jason Paahi. Nā ā rātou noho, ā rātou whanaungatanga me te piri tata o te hoa i hiki tonu ai tēnei haerenga ki tua atu i ngā kupu, ki te wāhi e rangona ai te mauri, e kitea ai te wairua.
He mihi nui tēnei ki a rātou katoa nā rātou te mauri motuhake i tāpiri ki te huarahi kua arahina mai ai tātou ki konei.
Mauri tū, mauri ora, mauri aroha.
