What? Yoga
Where? Active Living Room by Lorna Jane in Coolangatta
Why? The benefits of yoga are huge. Some of the benefits include : improving your flexibility and posture, building muscle strength, increasing your blood flow, draining your lymphs and boosting immunity.
I love the concept for the Active Living Rooms - small studios across Australia where you can practice yoga (or take another class), grab a green juice and shop - all in the one location. The studio and class embodies the essence of the Lorna Jane brand - which to my mind is strength, determination and self care.
The class I attended was led by the gorgeous, Jen, an experienced yogi. I loved the class and really appreciated Jen’s clear instructions and commentary about the benefits of various poses.
I’ve attended a lot of different yoga classes over the years, but a first for me, was the use of essential oils during the practice. Jen shared a little peppermint oil from her wrist to ours at the start of the practice (and before alternate nostril breathing) and at the conclusion, by massaging it into our temples during savasana. This beautifully simple idea meant I had the lovely scent and health benefits of peppermint, not only during the class, but for the rest of the day.
How much? $10.00 for 45 minutes. $4.00 for a green smoothie if you’ve attended a class.
