GYC Info & Updates
Hi Yogis
There is a lot going on at the moment and we wanted to keep you all in the loop with the important changes.
Yoga Etiquette 🧘🏻♀️
We'd prefer not to start with a bugbear, but there have been a lot of yogis arriving late to classes and leaving early. We can not stress enough how disruptive this can be for the yogis already/still in their practice. Please consider your fellow yogis when deciding if you are going to be able to arrive on time and stay for the whole practice.
The doors will go back to being locked at 8:00am on Saturdays and 5:30pm on Wednesday evenings. This is for safety reasons as well as ensuring that the yogis who were able to make it on time do not have their practice disrupted.
If you know you won't make the class in time to arrive and set up before the start of class, or if you know ahead of time that you can't stay for the full class, we will see you next week. Thank you for your understanding 🙏🏻
Works at the Foreshore 🚧
Regarding Stow Gardens works and upgrades - you may have noticed that the City have created an accessibility pathway down the middle of the Sunrise Yoga grass area.
The GYC wasn’t aware of the additional accessibility pathway until we saw the final plan in May, at which point we contacted the City. Our liaison confirmed "... that the grass area will not only be retained for community use but is set to be extended, a great outcome based on community input."
Julie continues to be in contact with the CGG regarding our Saturday Sunrise Yoga space at Stow Gardens, so we will pass on new information as we have it.
In the meantime, we’ll continue holding our community yoga sessions at the QEII until the foreshore works are completed early 2027.
When are we moving outside? ☀️
We will move outdoors on Wednesday 4 November and use the grass area between the QEII and the QPT for outdoor classes. This is the same spot we’ve used in the past for our ‘Class on the Grass’ when the QEII was booked out. This will be the most convenient spot as we need an area that is close for the teachers to wheel our yoga trolley/PA system. It’s also great car parking and for those who ride their bikes.
Don't worry if you forget, we'll remind you closer to the date.
🙏🏻
