Yoga in the Sky

Overview

Flexibility and yoga go hand-in-hand; however this sky-high session takes that pairing to a new level. Actually, to several new levels — and around a revolving loop as well — courtesy of a free 12-minute class in one of the Wheel of Brisbane's gondolas.

For the first time, you'll peer down on Brisbane as you do your best downward dog pose, all under the guidance of TV presenter and health coach Rachael Finch. She'll guide you through a brisk stretching, breathing and meditation session as part of her role as a Westin Hotels ambassador, who are behind the free exercise classes. Consider it the chain's big hello before their The Westin Brisbane opens in Mary Street in November.

Sessions run from Monday, September 17 to Friday, September 21 — and all you have to do is show up at the Wheel of Brisbane ticket booth at South Bank, say the words "Westin let's rise", and then step into the hotel's gondola. And, while rising to such great heights usually attracts a fee, this spin won't cost you a cent.
