This Women's Wellbeing Circle offers a calm weekly evening for women to pause, move and connect. The atmosphere is gentle and welcoming, perfect for busy parents seeking a midweek reset and time for self-care, with clear emphasis on women's wellbeing and community support.
The sessions blend simple yoga, mindful movement and social connection in a comfortable community setting. Expect a warm, inclusive environment where conversation, relaxation and small-group connection are encouraged, and where mental health and wellbeing are given gentle attention.
Sessions are designed to be accessible to all fitness levels and cultural backgrounds, with a particular welcome to women from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds. The circle provides a chance for mothers to recharge, learn wellbeing practices and make local connections in Springvale.
You can expect a relaxed two-hour gathering that combines breath work, light movement and space to share. The focus is on wellbeing rather than intense exercise, so moves will be easy to follow for school-aged parents returning from work or caring duties.
Most sessions include a short seated yoga or mindful movement segment, an informal chat about health topics such as stress management or sleep, and time to socialise over a cup of tea. Facilitators create space for cultural sensitivity and respectful conversation.
The circle encourages connection and informal peer support, so you might leave with practical tips for family life, better sleep routines, or simple mindfulness tools to use between school runs. It’s a practical, nurturing evening for those juggling parenting and life commitments.
Sessions run weekly on Thursdays from 17:00 to 19:00 between 29 January 2026 and 25 June 2026, excluding school holiday weeks. Each session is two hours and is free to attend, though places are limited and registration is required.
Wear comfortable clothing suitable for gentle movement and bring a water bottle; mats and seating are usually available but you’re welcome to bring your own yoga mat or cushion. The program is suitable for women of all abilities and no prior experience is necessary.
The group is facilitated by Mental Health and Wellbeing Local staff who prioritise safety and cultural respect. Activities may include yoga, mindful movement, simple dance elements and guided relaxation tailored for wellbeing and stress relief.
The circle takes place at Springvale Community Hub, Community Rooms 2 and 3, 5 Hillcrest Grove, Springvale. The hub is a short walk from local public transport and has accessible entry points for those with limited mobility.
There is local parking nearby and the community hub is familiar to families attending local school activities. If you need additional access support, the organisers can usually assist when you register your interest.
The community rooms provide a quiet, indoor space ideal for calm movement and conversation, and the setting feels homely and safe for women coming from diverse cultural backgrounds.
This is a women-only circle with an emphasis on inclusivity and safety; it is especially welcoming to women from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds. Please wear comfortable clothes and bring water to stay hydrated during movement sessions.
Sessions do not run during school holidays, so check dates before planning. Spots are limited, and registration is required to ensure capacity and support for attendees.
If you have specific health conditions, injuries or mobility concerns please mention these when registering so facilitators can adapt activities. The circle focuses on wellbeing, not clinical therapy, but signposting to local services can be provided if needed.
The sessions are free of charge for all participants and funded by local community services. To register your interest or reserve a place, call Mental Health and Wellbeing Local on 8908 1800 as places are limited.
Bookings are taken in advance and sessions fill quickly, so early registration is recommended especially for parents balancing school pickups and work. The organisers will confirm booking details and any access needs at time of registration.
There are no hidden costs, but participants are encouraged to bring their own mat if they prefer. All materials and tea are provided as part of the free community program in Springvale.
