Location: Harcourt Park (we’ll gather near the paddling pool)

Let’s start the long weekend right and make the best use of Waitangi day holiday.

Suburban Fitness is calling the community to come and join Vijay, our in-house yoga trainer, for a rejuvenating session of Yoga & Mindfulness.

In this outdoor yoga session, you’ll get to:

• Start with a warm-up to get your body ready
• Flow through yoga poses (vinyasa flow) to rejuvenate and flex
• Practice breathing exercises to connect with your inner self
• End with mindfulness and meditation for a zen connection in an open space

What to bring:

• Your positive spirit and enthusiasm!
• Cash for entry by Koha (donation-based)
• Comfortable yoga attire
• Yoga mat (there will be some available on-site)
• Hand towel & water bottle

Accessibility & Inclusivity:

We welcome everyone! 

Our “Yoga in the Park” session is designed to be inclusive and accessible to all ages, genders, and experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just starting out, come as you are, and let’s connect in nature.

What Yoga Is:

1. A practice for body, mind, and spirit
2. A way to reduce stress and increase flexibility
3. A tool for improving balance and focus
4. A journey of self-discovery and growth
5. For everyone, regardless of age, size, or fitness level

What Yoga Is Not:

1. Just a physical exercise (it’s so much more!)
2. Only for flexible people (yoga is for every body)
3. A competition (it’s about your own journey)
4. Limited to one style (there are many styles to explore)
5. Just for women (yoga is for everyone, regardless of gender)

Let’s breathe, stretch, and grow together!

To register, please fill out the form here and show up on the day. We can’t wait to practice yoga with you in the park!

** Note: If weather is not suitable to be outdoors, the session will move to Suburban Fitness gym, Main Street, Upper Hutt.
