Tēnā koe.
Welcome to IMLA - the Institute
for Māori Lifestyle Advancement.

IMLA is a new initiative in Māori Wellbeing at Te Wānanga o Raukawa, Otaki, Aotearoa.
Specifically, we are committed to enhancing outcomes for whānau, hapū and iwi in te taha tinana or physical wellbeing through the provision of: 

• Specialist academic programmes
• Research and exploration
• A purpose-built Wellbeing Facility

The fundamental basis of all activity within IMLA is centred around the exploration and creation of new tikanga and kawa in relation to te taha tinana.

This approach also forms the rationale of our flagship academic programme, Poutuarongo Kawa Oranga – an NZQA-accredited Bachelor-level degree programme in Māori Lifestyle Advancement.
We hope that you’ll make yourself at home here at our new website and take time to explore all of the information and features that are part of this new and exciting initiative in Māori Wellbeing.

Keep coming back to us as this site will be updated on a regular basis with news, articles and features to keep you and ultimately your whānau inspired and motivated towards achieving your goals and aspirations for enhanced wellbeing.

Mauriora!
