Yoga to aid multiple sclerosis
More than 50 local residents are expected to take part in this year's Yoga Aid Challenge on the Peninsula on Sunday, November 15.
Peninsula Yoga Centre instructor Mr John Wilson said the event would raise money for the MS Society Australia.
Local yoga participants will join more than 1500 people from across the country in raising money for various charities while promoting the benefits of yoga.
Mr Wilson said: "Yoga enthusiasts from all over the Woy Woy area will unite to salute the sun on Sunday, November 15, by taking part in the 2009 Yoga Aid Challenge.
"Woy Woy is one of 17 locations across Australia where local communities will come together to raise money for charity and raise awareness of the benefits of yoga.
"This event will coincide with an open day at the Peninsula Yoga Centre where there will be demonstrations in yoga, qi gong and pilates.
"Numerous practitioners in natural therapies will be attending and offering mini treatments in their particular modality.
"There will also be organic food and an interactive children's area."
Mr Wilson encouraged local residents to take part as team members, sponsors or spectators for the not-for-profit community charity event.
