For all our Christchurch girlies, get ready for the Ultimate Morning Pilates and Wellness Morning.

We are beyond delighted to be partnering with Bargain Chemist, to bring you this high end Pilates event. With goodie bags, good company, and delicious breakfast bowls it’s going to be a truly memorable morning!

Here at DC, we love partnering with brands focused on helping our communities, and Bargain Chemist is a brand whose mission; “Saving New Zealanders Everyday”, is more than just a slogan. It represents their ongoing commitment to making healthcare and wellbeing more accessible, relatable, and deeply rooted in community care. Beginning their journey in Christchurch in March 2018, their two founders, Atif Malkonyan and Peter Shenoda set out to demonstrate that pharmacies could be both affordable and professional. Starting with their first outlet store, Bargain Chemist has since grown into a successful national brand with over 27 stores across New Zealand, consistently upholding their policy of looking out for their fellow Kiwis. It is with the support of Bargain Chemist, we have created an event, for the women in our community to feel more empowered and inspired with their own wellness journeys.

Start your morning off right with a fantastic Pilates session led by Move with Alina founder Alina von Hahn. Alina originates from Vancouver, Canada, and has planted her roots in Christchurch, New Zealand. She teaches a modern style of Pilates that blends functional movement with traditional Pilates principles—focusing on core strength, form, breathwork, and precision. Each class begins with grounding, breathwork, stretching, and mobility, followed by low-impact strength exercises. Whether you’re new to Pilates or a fitness enthusiast, this class welcomes all levels, with modifications and challenges offered to suit everyone.

After a wellness talk all attendees will be able to enjoy a delicious breakfast bowls from the incredible Posh Porridge. There really is no better way to celebrate the start of Summer.
