Yin Yoga Class at Golden Yogi with Monika Merriman // Project Sunrise Mental Health Awareness Week

Evening Yin Yoga class at Golden Yogi

A meditative slow-paced class that explores long, deep stretching to enhance joint mobility, improve flexibility, and healing to the body’s connective tissues. This class is for people who want deep relaxation in their day. You will enjoy a deep stretch, especially through the hips, pelvis and spine. A perfect antidote to stressful busy lifestyles, runner’s stiffness, and cluttered minds.

ALL LEVELS - A gentle class that is suitable for anyone any age.

Golden Yogi is supporting this Project Sunrise event, so tickets to this class are FREE.

This event forms part of Project Sunrise's Mental Health Awareness Week activity. Check out what else is happening over MHAW 2025 by visiting Project Sunrise's Humanitix page or following us on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn.
