Introduction to Gentle Hatha Yoga

Discover the foundations of calm and connection with our health & wellbeing short courses in Sydney!

If you’re curious about yoga but unsure where to begin, this free 90-minute workshop is a welcoming introduction to gentle Hatha Yoga — with a focus on movement, breath and deep rest.

Led by experienced yoga therapist and teacher Keri Hogarth, this slow-paced session is designed especially for over-50s and those with managed injuries or limited mobility. You’ll be guided through supported poses, calming breathwork, and an extended Yoga Nidra — a guided meditation that promotes deep physical and mental relaxation.

With a strong focus on accessibility and wellbeing, this workshop draws on tools from yoga therapy to help you feel more grounded, present and connected to your body.
