Join us at Oak Park Sports and Aquatic Centre on Saturday 4 May for our Urban Retreat, where we bring like-minded people together for a special yoga, relaxation and meditation session.

Our Urban Retreat is the perfect session for those in the pursuit of mindfulness and relaxation. The two-hour session is guided by our expert yoga teacher Shuddha, who also conducts retreats around Victoria and internationally.

The Urban Retreat will begin with yoga, followed by breathing, a lying down guided relaxation and meditation (chairs will be available). At the end of the session, you’re invited to enjoy a light vegetarian buffet.

There’s also the opportunity to make a gold coin donation to our charity, Open Doors, which supports people in the community who are experiencing disadvantage to access our centres across Active Merri-bek.

Plus, when you donate to the Y's charitable work, you’ll receive a raffle ticket to go into the draw for some amazing prizes – including an Aesop gift pack valued at $153!
