We all know that solid dose of 'the good feels' you get after you've done something nice for yourself/your body (like exercise). And from Monday, March 4–Saturday, June 1, you can expect those feelings to increase two-fold.
Thanks to the return of Brisbane's Feel Good Program for autumn, the city will welcome a series of outdoor fitness classes — and, unlike that fancy new yoga studio in your neighbourhood that smells like acai berries and only serves charcoal tea, these classes are all entirely free.
Ranging from sessions to get your blood pumping (Zumba, body combat, body attack) to classes to get your zen flowing freely (yoga, pilates), the Feel Good Program is an initiative designed to suit any and all fitness levels. Also, most classes will bathe you in neon.
Sessions are held around South Bank Parklands, at either Flowstate (for most classes) or the Boat Pool (for aqua classes, which are only taking place in March and April ). BYO water bottle, towel and, where required, a yoga mat.
Classes happen every day except Fridays and Sundays, and they all run for 45 minutes. Times vary depending on the day, but your options include getting started early on a weekend with an 7.30am yoga session, hitting the pool mid-morning on a Saturday, or finishing up your working day with dancing at 5.30pm or a body balance class at 6.30pm.
Whichever you choose, it'll have you embracing the warm outdoors and feeling good — check out the timetable online.
