Activity Details
Sessions run on Fridays during the school term from 11:30 to 12:30 and are ideal for anyone seeking low-impact fitness, improved balance and relaxation. The focus is on safe, repeatable movements rather than high-intensity exercise.
What the class includes:
- Seated stretches and range-of-motion exercises
- Light balance and stability work
- Breathing and relaxation techniques to reduce stress
The activity is suitable for older adults and anyone with limited mobility. No previous yoga experience is required, and participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.
Location and Access
The session takes place at Padstow Library and Knowledge Centre, Padstow NSW 2211, a community-focused venue with accessible facilities. The library provides an inclusive environment and is easy to reach by car or public transport.
Accessibility features include accessible toilets and nearby parking, and the seated format removes the need to get down to the floor. This makes it a practical option for carers and family members supporting older relatives.
Maps and directions are available from the library information desk, and the venue is well-suited for local families organising weekly routines around school drop-off and pick-up times.
