More than 100 yogis join free International Day of Yoga celebrations at QEII by MISC and Geraldton Yoga Club

Geraldton’s QEII Centre was full of energy, zen and tranquillity on Sunday, as more than 100 people took part in practising a variety of yoga styles in celebration of International Day of Yoga. The community came together to mark the fourth annual Geraldton yoga day event, organised by members of Midwest Indian Cultural Society (MISC) and Geraldton Yoga Club. Starting from 9am, the morning began with an opening meditation session, before yoga enthusiasts and newbies separated into their preferred yoga practises. Eight sessions were conducted between three rooms, demonstrating a variety of yoga styles to choose from, including vinyasa, hatha, shakti, yin, and even couples yoga. Guests could also opt to join breath work or meditation sessions. The event concluded with a sound meditation session, followed by the drawing of a raffle. More than 10 ticket holders received a prize, ranging from yoga mats to water bottles and gift vouchers for various local businesses. Before it was time to leave, yogis indulged in Annadhanam, a vegetarian Indian lunch, prepared by Indian chef Muthaiyan Murugadoss and donated by the Singh, Sah, Khanna, Vania and Madhura Indian families. The International Day of Yoga was on Friday, June 21.
