 Berwick Healthcare is hosting a free Relaxation Yoga Class on site on 5 September from 6pm to 7pm.

Karen Oakley, an accredited Shanti Yoga Teacher from MY Yoga Therapy will be leading the class.

She is experienced and qualified with specialised skills and knowledge in the application of yoga in a therapeutic setting.

Ms Oakley is a keen Bicycle Riding Group (BUG) mentor with Berwick Healthcare.

There will be a free Woman’s Health Week bike ride session on 1 September from 9.30am which coincides with the first spring ride from Brentwood Park Community Centre.

“These local events for Women’s Health Week complement the skills and backgrounds of our Bicycle Riding Group (BUG) Mentors across Cardinia , Casey and Greater Dandenong,” health promotion practitioner Marlene Dalziel said.

“We have five neighbourhood houses supporting this initiative as a pilot where the mentors because of their training are very supportive of newer and inexperienced riders so that no one becomes disillusioned and drops out before their confidence, skills and fitness improve.”

To sign up please call Berwick Healthcare on 03 9796 1500. Be quick as there are limited spots.
