Experience the Joy of Pasifika Movement and Culture
Tau Tupuna offers a unique fitness experience that celebrates Niuean heritage through movement and music. These classes provide more than just physical benefits—they're an opportunity to connect with Pacific Island traditions in a supportive community environment.
Participants can expect:
- Cultural immersion - learn movements that tell stories of Pacific heritage
- Improved fitness - build stamina, flexibility and strength through dance-inspired exercises

- Creative expression - engage with traditional Pasifika crafts

The bilingual nature of these classes makes them accessible to both Niuean speakers and those new to the language. Instructors adapt movements to suit different ability levels, ensuring everyone can participate comfortably while still feeling appropriately challenged.

No special equipment or previous experience is needed—just bring comfortable clothing, a water bottle, and an open mind ready to embrace the rhythms and movements of the Pacific!
