The Mornington Peninsula population has risen exponentially in the past years with many older people moving to the area. Taking care of ourselves, can be a costly exercise. I have been practising Hatha yoga for 30 years and teaching for 6 years. It is a restful, gentle and restorative form of yoga which can improve energy, vitality, reduce tension and stress with breathing techniques to improve circulation; it also provides ways to calm the mind, body and emotions. My project is to offer two Hatha Yoga classes to our senior citizens of 60 years plus, helping to enhance their wellbeing.
With health issues, depression and loneliness on the rise in society, providing the opportunity for people to get together in a safe and caring environment and to take time to look after themselves, is vital. Yoga with Deepa would provide the opportunity for the over 60’s to come together in classes twice weekly and learn not only how to look after themselves, both mentally and physically, but also provide them with the opportunity of getting to know other people in their local community.
This grant would allow me to provide my services at a local venue along with free equipment.

Great venue and an important activity, especially for older people so that they retain flexibility and suppleness in their movements.

A very worthy project acknowledging the importance of seniors staying healthy (mentally and physically) and connecting to one-another and the greater community.

As a local estate agent, I meet people in the over 60 age group wishing to downsize from their homes. Yoga sessions for this age group will be valuable to ensure people are exercising as well as keeping connected with their community
