CELEBRATING movement, mindfulness and meditation, the Bendigo Yoga Festival is set for next weekend, featuring thirty classes from twenty instructors.<\/p>\n

Organiser Rosie Richards said the event is in its fourth year, changing every time, but always giving people an opportunity to explore a variety of styles of yoga.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstructors come into Bendigo, so for locals, they can try something that\u2019s a bit different to what their local studios and instructors offer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKundalini gong yoga, forest yoga, Zenthai flow, laughter yoga, a martial art cross, and in-depth workshops are available. We\u2019re offering something for any age, whether a beginner or seasoned yogi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also an opportunity for local instructors to connect with a wider community, offering their practice. It\u2019s an exciting program showcasing whoever\u2019s available and wants to share.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Richards hopes people will walk away from the weekend not only feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and revitalised, but knowing they\u2019ve had fun in the company of new people, while building their own itinerary<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best feedback we can get is knowing someone\u2019s had a great time, or a phenomenal experience, or they met someone likeminded. That coming together of community delights me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of last year being what it was, we\u2019ve got more meditation and mental health stuff on offer; mindfulness. We\u2019ve really considered that this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage people to talk about their experience with a friend, extending that lineage of yoga, and what excites them about it, whether it\u2019s the exercise, mental clarity, a feeling of inner peace, the feeling of home, breath or stillness, or even intense movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Ms Richards, yoga is a joyous lifestyle, and not just a practice every now and then.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love yoga. I can connect with people, and it\u2019s a way you can be in the world; compassionate and kind.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started, it extended into my own wellbeing, and then I wanted to get it into other people\u2019s lives. That\u2019s why we\u2019re putting on this event,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
