YOGA Thursdays

Due to popular demand, the Wellbeing Team is excited to announce it will continue to deliver YOGA Thursdays at Lalor Secondary College for the eighth consecutive year. A fully qualified and registered Yoga teacher will continue to teach yoga to students and staff at the College; fostering happiness and healthier minds. Yoga is becoming increasingly popular in our communities, not only for health and fitness, but for sound mind and sense of confidence and wellbeing. Some of the physical benefits of Yoga include: balanced hormones, healthy metabolism, heart health, lower blood pressure, aiding the reduction of headaches and migraines, lower stress and healthy adrenaline levels, joint health, mobility and flexibility. 

YOGA Thursdays will be open to ALL students and ALL staff at the College, occurring [most] Thursdays in Term 1, 2 & 3 between 3:15pm – 4pm in the College Drama Centre. Yoga mats are NOT provided by the school due to hygiene practices and individuals are encouraged to bring their own mat/towel and drink bottle to each session. NO payment required! Signed consent by a parent / guardian / carer is essential for students. Consent forms can be obtained from the ‘General office’ or alternatively the ‘Welfare office’.
