Overview
Shake off those autumn blues with a morning yoga session on the Sydney Opera House steps. There's surely no better way to start your day right than by saluting the sun as it shimmers over the harbour, with those legendary white sails as your backdrop. And then, of course, there's all that Instagramming potential — if you're being cheeky between poses.
If yoga ain't your thing, you can opt for high-intensity interval training (HIT) or functional fitness. All classes start at 7am and run for an hour, with HIT happening on Mondays, yoga on Tuesdays and Thursdays and functional fitness on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The genius behind this operation is the Sydney Opera House's CEO, Louise Herron AM, who's long been a fan of keeping fit. "There's something particularly special about the Opera House in the early hours of the morning," she said. "I couldn't think of a more inspiring place to revive and reconnect with yourself and others."
