Organisers have described the programme as an opportunity for participants to experience yoga in a vibrant community setting while embracing the principles of physical wellbeing, mindfulness and inner balance.
The gathering forms part of a broader series of activities being held across Australia ahead of International Day of Yoga on June 21, which this year is being observed under the theme “Yoga for Healthy Ageing.”
Participants will be invited to engage in yoga practices, breathing exercises and meditation sessions designed to promote health, relaxation and overall wellbeing.
