About Women’s Health Week

Women’s Health Week is Australia’s biggest week dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of women, girls and gender-diverse people. Held annually in the first week of September, it’s a nationwide initiative led by Jean Hailes for Women’s Health.

The week is all about encouraging women to prioritise their health, get informed, and take positive action

To celebrate the week, we’re offering two free community events that focus on movement, mindfulness, and connection.

Yoga / Mindfulness + Morning Tea (with Sasha)

A gentle yoga and mindfulness practice to support physical and mental wellbeing, followed by a social morning tea.

Step into a space of calm and renewal during Women’s Health Week with our special Stretch & Destress Yin Yoga class. This gentle, restorative practice invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and release tension stored in the body and mind. Perfect for all levels, this session focuses on long, supported stretches that nourish the nervous system and promote deep relaxation.

Come as you are—whether you're craving stillness, soothing movement, or simply a moment to reconnect with yourself.
