Opera House launches first winter yoga series
Following the sell-out success of its Sunrise on the Steps morning yoga classes, the Opera House has launched a new indoor yoga series to help Sydneysiders and tourists beat the winter blues and see the UNESCO World Heritage-listed masterpiece in a new light.
Sunrise at the House will be held in the architecturally striking surrounds of the Concert Hall Northern Foyer, boasting stunning Sydney Harbour views with every bend and stretch. Yogis can salute the winter sun as it warmly radiates through the glass foyer each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning from 4 July to 31 August.
Sunrise at the House spokesperson Miriam O’Rourke, says: “We’re constantly looking at new ways for visitors to experience our nation’s icon, whether it’s bringing Ice Cube to rap in the Concert Hall or giving our beloved seal visitor ‘Benny’ a voice in a messenger chatbot.
“Held in one of the most picturesque locations in the Opera House, Sunrise at the House classes will fill visitors with energy for the day and gratitude for this beautiful city we call home. Our first ever Saturday classes are not to be missed as the perfect pre-brunch activity.”
Crawf Weir, founder of Barefoot Yoga will lead the nine-week program of hour-long yoga classes. His instructing style caters to all fitness levels, blending strength and softness to create a challenging and fun environment that brings mindfulness to the morning.
Classes are conveniently located in the CBD with $10 parking available to attendees at the Sydney Opera House Wilson Carpark. Blankets will be provided to keep yogis warm during meditation.
