Yoga at Upper Lansdowne
Azaar Simmons is in the process of organising yoga at the Upper Lansdowne Hall.
There have been a number of people interested, but it is not possible to set up a time that meets the needs for everyone. At this stage she is aiming for a Wednesday evening in the first instance and then if there are enough people interested, she will also look at setting up a daytime class or similar.
