Darwin lunch yoga is a new, convenient way to get all the benefits of doable, basic yoga. The benefits of this Darwin CBD yoga are permanent, and increasingly powerful, if combined with sustained practice. Regular yoga practice delivers fitness, calmness and flexibility. In addition, it’s a source of illumination and inner strength, like a light or flame. That’s the idea from which Flametree takes its name. In other words, it also delivers deeper benefits of yoga beyond just physical exercise. Passes and free sessions available.

Wednesdays 12.05-12.50pm, 30 April ongoing
