The Big Slow: Free Online Yoga
Public · Hosted by Denby Sheather
Saturday, 4 April 2020 from 16:00-18:00
Avalon, New South Wales
As promised, FREE PUBLIC ONLINE Restorative Yoga sessions to support your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health.
All you need do is log on at the time via ZOOM, have your yoga gear set up and ready, and we'll share 90 minutes of my delicious signature restorative practice, focusing on the lungs, colon and heart to align us with Autumn (in southern hemisphere now). This seasonal energy governs the lungs and colon and this virus is affecting the respiratory tract as well as our fluid body. Hence, this practice will work to cleanse and strengthen these channels. Using my healing skills I will simultaneously activate the metal and water elements within your genetic structure as you practice.
You will feel delicious afterwards, rested and calm and ready for life!
What you'll need:
- Yoga mat
- Bolster
- Block
- Strap
- Eye bag
- Blanket
- Warm socks
- Sage smudge
- Water bottle
I look forward to seeing many familiar faces as well as some new ones!
This practice will be gentle and accessible for all levels of students. However, it is not suitable for pregnancy or anyone nursing recent injuries. Please exercise personal responsibility.

Take Away If You Cannot Dine In
Most local events have been cancelled or postponed until at least late May - June, or later in the year - we will publish any updates as they become available. For those still listed we recommend you check with the vendors to ensure they are going ahead or to discuss bookings.
A number of local Hospitality Industry based businesses/restaurants are working on providing Take Away versions of their menus due to 4 square metre per person ratios.
Please check with your favourite eatery on what they have on offer and support local businesses so they can re-employ staff past the events currently unfolding, many of whom who have been laid off this week.
In that spirit, Pittwater Online News will run a full list in our Food page next Issue of those doing their utmost to stay open and keep going. Fees will be waived for your listing.
An example:

Northern Beaches Jive is a social dance group. Our Modern Jive classes are held every Wednesday at 7.30pm at Narrabeen RSL.
Modern Jive is an easy partner dance with an emphasis on having fun and is great for all ages. Our experienced teachers always make the lesson interesting and fun.
You can come along to class any time as we cater for new beginners every week. You don't have to sign up for a course - just come along when it suits you. First timers are only $10 for the first two weeks in total!! You can even just come and watch for free to see if you think you'll like it.
There’s no need to bring a partner as we rotate you around to different partners during the class.
We start with a beginner class at 7:30pm for 45 minutes, followed by social dancing. At 9pm we have an Intermediate /advanced class for 45 minutes, and a concurrent 'refresher' class for the beginners, then social dancing until 10:30pm. That’s right beginners get 2 classes every night.
Casual entry is $15 per night. Students and seniors are only $12 per night. We also have discounted prices, for all groups, if you buy a 5 class pass. Great value for learning and dancing up to 3 hours per night.
If you're keen and would like to go to a class more than once a week, or go to a dance party in the weekend then check out www.ceroc.com.au where you'll find more classes and weekly dance parties.
