Ōrewa yoga instructor Sophie Rado has put together a fundraiser for Red Cross disaster relief. Her husband, comedian Nick, will run the raffle.

Yoga House studio owner Sophie Rado has put together a yoga class and raffle event to raise funds for disaster relief in NZ following the recent devastating floods and cyclone.

The fundraiser includes a one hour outdoor yoga class taken by Sophie, at Arundel Reserve in Ōrewa, and a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses. All proceeds – a koha for the class, and raffle sales – will go to the Red Cross fund.

Sophie’s husband, radio host and comedian Nick Rado, will run the raffle, which will be drawn after the class.

Raffle prizes so far include aromatherapy goodie bags worth $150, a one hour massage, Paint and Sip double pass from Studio Rūma, and vouchers for local restaurants and eateries including Ōrewa Beach House Eatery and The Coffee Club. 

The fundraiser is on Saturday, March 25, from 9am-10am. You can book online, or just turn up on the day to take part.
