Stretching in the Park - FREE

What do you get when Yoga, Pilates and Massage all get together and have a baby? **Stretch Therapy**. Stretch class is the most fun of all the class types, as its not long muscular holds, not burning the muscles to exhaustion - it's you against you, feeling all of the fun sensations at your own pace, guided by the group to maximise mindfulness, breathing and execution of stretches. You will walk away feeling like you're floating after unlocking your body's natural tightness. All you need to bring is a yoga mat. About me? I'm obsessed with stretch therapy. Being consistent with stretch therapy results in my body being nearly always limber and full of energy. My sleep is the deepest it has ever been and unlike the gym, I can stretch anywhere resetting myself to baseline. Stretch therapy also improves your posture, balance and pain threshold. So come join my obsession: Stretching in the Park! We stretch every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning at 8am for 45 minutes in Hyde Park diagonally across from St Mary's Cathedral on the Park Street side. **How much does Stretch Therapy class cost?** Your first two classes are free! That's how much I believe in stretch therapy. Your first class is for information, your second class is for transformation - by the end of this class you will be hooked on how good your body feels after. So make sure you are accurate with your RSVP **What time should I arrive?** Between 7:45-7:55am. Class starts at 8am sharp. Give yourself some time and grace to set up your yoga mat. **What should I bring?** All you need is a yoga mat. Loose clothes or active wear are ideal, but not essential. **How flexible do I need to be?** That's the great thing about stretch therapy - you don't need to be flexible at all! Anyone can stretch and improve their base flexibility with a little consistency. It's never too late to start. **How do I find you?** Look for the yoga mats diagonally opposite St Marys Cathedral in Hyde Park on the large grassy section.

Short Morning Walks Are Back for Summer

Malabar Headland Walk

**Let's explore the Malabar Headland** Malabar Headland lies between Maroubra and Malabar beaches and offers spectacular coastal views, interesting rare flora and fauna, rocky sandstone outcrops and several historic military ruins. It is a great exploration for some easy and relaxed walking. The headland has two separate walks. The Western Escarpment walk cuts through the headland and the Boora Point walking track runs along the eastern coastline. We will do both walks. We'll meet on the southern corner of Mons Ave and Marine Parade in Maroubra Beach and make our way south through Arthur Byrne Reserve to start with the coastal part. The walk is approximately 7 km long and we will do it in a relaxed pace. Please bring along sturdy footwear, some parts of the walk are over rocky terrain. Also as always, a hat, sunscreen, drinking water and maybe some snacks as we may have a rest on the headland to enjoy the amazing ocean views. The walk starts and ends in Maroubra Beach, buses back to the city leave frequently from Marine Parade. GRATUITY: There will be a $2 gratuity for this walk in cash. Your health and safety is priority as is minimizing risks to avoid accidents and injuries during this walk. However event hosts assume no responsibility for anyone attending any group event and will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurring as a result of any group event or in connection with travel to such event, however caused.
