Umina Beach Yoga will offer monthly yoga classes beginning in February to build community and connection and raise money for Coast Shelter.
Entry to the sessions, to be held on the third Saturday of each month from 4.30-5.45pm, will be free or by donation.
“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 practice and to share tea and chat with friends,” manager Helen Macnair said.
“Yoga should be accessible to everyone who wants to practise, from all walks of life.
“Yoga is a way of living well, not just a physical practice.”
Macnair has managed Umina Beach Yoga for more than 12 years.
“Students can donate whatever they can afford (for the monthly class)- that might be nothing or $20 – and all proceeds will be donated to Coast Shelter,” she said.
“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 the 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.
The informal classes will begin on Saturday, February 18, with the first community class celebrating Sydney World Pride 2023.
They will be fun, relaxing and designed to make attendees feel nurtured and nourished.
