The Australian School of Meditation and Yoga (Gold Coast and Brisbane) are each offering a whole day of free Yoga, Relaxation and Meditation to everyone.
The Australian School of Meditation & Yoga (ASMY) and the GCCC will again be having a whole day of free classes and workshops to promote the wonderful benefits of yoga. The event was so successful in 2008 and 2009 that in 2010 we are again holding the day at Albert Waterways Community Centre, a large community hall behind Pacific Fair.
This Free Yoga Day gives the community an opportunity to enjoy some gentle stretching, breathing and relaxing, whilst accessing the many benefits of Yoga for the mind, body and soul. This is a chance for many in the community to try Yoga for the first time, for others to return to Yoga and for regular practitioners to try a different style of Yoga.
