Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action. It is a holistic approach that is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.
The International Day of Yoga aims also to highlight the importance of individuals and populations making healthier choices and following lifestyle patterns that foster good health.
Physical inactivity is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.
There are many places to try Yoga in the South Burnett, do your body a favour and try it out 🧘

Around two-thirds of Aussie blokes don’t see a doctor straight away when they notice a problem, which can ultimately make it worse.
This Men's Health Week, we encourage you to go further than the armchair experts and book that GP appointment you’ve been putting off. A GP health check can focus on cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke) and metabolic diseases (obesity and type 2 diabetes), which are common, related, preventable and remain the leading cause of death in Australia.
