Start the week with Peace

Koha Sunrise Monday Morning Class

Can we begin each week without conflict?
Each Monday morning, we offer a special Sunrise class, where you have an opportunity to enjoy movement & stillness, infused with mindfulness. This class is shared in the spirit of generosity ~ koha ~ dana. This means that you can book freely (via this website or Mindbody) and then share an amount of money that you choose. Each week all the money is sent to Women’s Refuge. (You may pay by eftpos or cash. If you have a membership then simply book in as you normally would and that’s covered by us.) Thank you
