Term 3 2024 Yoga - Lane Cove Uniting Church

Lyn Brackell took up yoga 15 years ago to keep active but more importantly to find an inner strength to help her deal with the challenges of life. Now in her senior years, she has found that she is more resilient and have gained not only better health, but a freshness of mind with a brighter outlook on life.

The flowing yoga she teaches is a gentle but powerful way to relieve stress, build inner strength and condition your body. Based on fluid movements and controlled breathing, it rebalances as it exercises and energises. It is one of the most effective antidotes for modern day living and suits any age or fitness level.

The yoga classes are held at the Lane Cove Uniting Church on Figtree Street in Lane Cove.
