Haumia-Tiketike
HAUMIA TIKETIKE is the Māori God of the fern root (aruhe) provider of energy food source. The Māori Movement we focus on is the Manu Waewae (birds leg and feet movement)
Warm up
The warm up is common to all levels of programmes and prepares the body and mind for the exercises ahead.
Level 1
In Level 1 we mirror the movement of the pūkeko (the purple swamphen – Porphyrio porphyrio). The focus is on agility & flexibility
level 2
In Level 2 we mirror the movement of the ruru (the morepork – Ninox novaeseelandiae). The focus is on agility & flexibility.
level 3
In Level 3 we mirror the movement of the pūkeko (the purple swamphen – Porphyrio porphyrio) with a specific movement called “takawiri” which is when the pūkeko scrapes at the earth with its feet. The focus is on agility & flexibility.
level 3 advanced
In Level 3 ADVANCED we combine all the movements of all 3 levels. The focus is on agility & flexibility.
