Yoga Classes

Going Rural Health, together with the University of Melbourne Rural Clinical School, are sponsoring FREE yoga classes for four weeks in September/October, to coincide with RUOK Day and Mental Health Week.

Classes will be led by Christina Gagnier, a yoga teacher with more than 3000 hours teaching experience. They will be run face to face in Ballarat at the University of Melbourne campus, and streamed via Zoom so all our rural health students can participate. DRH staff are also welcome to attend.

Registration essential. Zoom details will be provided after registration, for those wishing to join remotely. BYO yoga mat.

For more details contact Trish Thorpe at trish.thorpe@unimelb.edu.au
