Yoga Aid Challenge 2009

Namaste



This years Yoga Aid Challenge was held in the picturesque riverside park in downtown Brisbane on Sunday November 15


About 120 people greeted the morning with 108 Sun Salutations.

The day was just beautiful. Sheltered by a huge fig tree and cooled by a soothing breeze which swept in from the river Brisbanites and Gold Coasters got together to celebrate yoga and raise money for refugees, cancer sufferers and children in need.


Salutes came in many variations from the different yoga leaders and the whole event had a peaceful community feel.


After about two hours of exercise everyone felt they had earned a really good rest

But the best part was saved till the end when everyone opened their hearts to yoga meditation

Here's what some of our teachers thought after the event:

"I felt great and so energised afterwards, I really must have needed that!" Mrna lini

"Ooh my hamstrings are telling me they got a good work out yesterday!" Andrew

"It was fun!" Amara

"Looking forward to next year!" Candace

We're all looking forward to the event next year, maybe you'd like to join us!

Namaste
