Community yoga class raises $200 for Coast Shelter

The next class will be held on March 18

Umina Beach Yoga’s first Community Yoga class celebrating World Pride 2023 was a great success, raising $201 for Coast Shelter.

The business is offering monthly yoga classes to build community and connection and to raise money for Coast Shelter, with the next to be held on Saturday, March 18, in celebration of International Women’s Day.

‘We want our beautiful yoga studio to be a space where community can come together and feel welcome, to support physical and mental health with a free yoga practise and to share tea and chat with friends,” manager Helen Macnair said.

“Students can donate whatever they can afford – that might be nothing or $20 – and all proceeds will be donated to Coast Shelter.

“We are hoping to easily reach our fund-raising goal of $1,000 by the end of the year.

“Each month the class will be led by one of a team of experienced, professional teachers and will highlight a national or international event to increase awareness, educate and help make the world a better place.

“These informal classes will be fun, relaxing and designed to make you feel nurtured and nourished.”

The March 18 session will be held from 4.30-5.45pm and followed by tea and a chat.
