Leading beauty brand, AVEENO®, will host New Zealand’s first ever outdoor pilates day this Saturday (17 April). The AVEENO® Inspires Pilates Day will be attended by hundreds of women to celebrate the launch of its new Stress Relief range. AVEENO® hopes the event will encourage women to lead a balanced life for greater health and wellbeing.

 

Held in the tranquil surrounds of Western Springs Quarry, the pilates day will kick off at 10am with a record 300 women taking part in an inspiring mind and body workout conducted by expert pilates instructors from Peak Pilates.

 

The event will be hosted by Dr Libby Weaver, one of Australasia’s leading experts in stress reduction through lifestyle changes.

 

 “It’s no secret that when you are able to achieve a healthy life balance you will look and feel beautiful.

 

“The good health of your skin relies not only on choosing the right products to use on the outside, but how you treat it from the inside – good nutrition and exercise such as pilates to limit stress are just as important,” says Dr Weaver.

 

For  just $20, participants will receive entry to the event, a goodie bag containing an AVEENO® Pilates mat, a bottle of water, a protein bar, gorgeous AVEENO® skincare products and the latest Next magazine - all in a limited edition AVEENO® eco-conscious bag. Money from ticket sales will be donated to Habitat for Humanity New Zealand, AVEENO’s® chosen charity, to help them with the inspiring work they do helping Kiwi families to live in a home of their own.

 

Rachel Faulkner, brand manager for AVEENO® hopes this will become an annual event held across New Zealand every year.

 

 “AVEENO® Inspires is our global community initiative programme and Pilates Day is just the start of how we want to help make a difference while helping women discover their natural beauty,” she says.
