Discover a calm start to the morning with Falun Dafa gentle exercises and meditation at Auburn Park. This outdoor mind-body practice blends simple physical movements and a quiet sitting meditation to help restore energy, reduce stress and sharpen mental clarity for busy families. It is welcoming to beginners and suitable for all ages, making it an easy addition to school morning routines and weekend wellness plans.
You'll be guided through five gentle Falun Dafa exercises designed to be accessible to people of all fitness levels, including parents juggling school runs and work. Expect a peaceful, community-focused atmosphere where participants move slowly and mindfully, focusing on breath and posture to promote relaxation and mental clarity.
Practices include four standing exercises and one seated meditation, offering both physical movement and restorative stillness. The session is ideal for improving flexibility, reducing tension and cultivating a calm mindset you can carry into the day.
Sessions are family-friendly and relaxed; you can bring school-age children who may enjoy gentle movement and a quiet moment before the day begins. The emphasis is on wellbeing, simple routine and developing a consistent practice rather than intense physical effort.
Classes run fortnightly from 25 January to 22 February 2026, taking place on Sunday mornings. Each class meets from 07:20am to 08:50am; the practice itself includes a short period of instruction followed by guided exercises and meditation to help build confidence and routine.

The class is free and no prior experience is required, so parents can drop in without booking if they prefer. It is a great introduction to mindfulness, meditation and gentle exercise for families who want low-cost, outdoor wellness activities in Auburn.
Meet at Auburn Park, close to the Auburn Girls High School side on Hutchinson Street and Macquarie Road, Auburn. The park is an open, easy-to-find outdoor space with lawn areas suitable for light exercise and meditation, and a short walk from local bus stops and residential areas.
There is basic park access for families, and parents will find nearby street parking and public transport options in the Auburn precinct. The location is child-friendly and suitable for strollers and prams if you need to bring younger children.
If you arrive early, there is space to warm up and settle in before the class begins, and instructors typically position the group so everyone can see and follow along easily. Being outdoors means sessions may be adjusted for extreme weather; check local updates if storms are forecast.
This is a community-run Falun Dafa class organised by the Falun Dafa Association of Australia and led by volunteer instructors, so please be respectful of the shared space and other participants. The practice focuses on mindful movement and meditation, and is not a high-intensity workout, making it suitable for parents and children who prefer gentle exercise.
Bring a yoga mat or towel for seated meditation and a light layer in cooler months; wear comfortable clothing that allows gentle movement. If you or your child have specific health concerns, consider consulting a health professional before participating, and inform the instructor of any limitations.
Sessions are free but may be weather dependent; if rain or extreme heat is expected classes might be cancelled or moved. For questions about accessibility or special needs, contact the event organiser ahead of time to discuss arrangements.
There is no fee for these Falun Dafa classes — they are offered free to the community and welcome participants of all ages. No formal registration is required, so families can drop in on any listed date and try a session at no cost.
While booking is not mandatory, contacting the organiser can be helpful if you are bringing a group or need information about weather-related changes. For more information, use the contact details on the Cumberland City Council event page or call the council number provided for assistance.
If you enjoy the class, you can return on subsequent dates to continue the practice; the fortnightly format makes it easy to fit into busy family schedules and supports building a regular mindfulness and exercise habit at no expense.
