South Hedland created a simple wellbeing activity by turning a local park into a welcoming outdoor yoga space. The event was designed to be low-cost, easy to join and suitable for all experience levels, helping reduce barriers for people who may not usually attend a yoga class.

Key steps included:

• Identified yoga as an accessible activity that could support community wellbeing, movement and connection.
• Used a local park to create a relaxed, open-air setting that felt informal and welcoming.
• Connected with a local yoga teacher who could guide participants safely and confidently.
• Shaped the class to be beginner-friendly so people of different ages and abilities could take part.
• Removed the need for expensive equipment by encouraging people to bring a mat, towel or simply wear comfortable clothing.
• Promoted the event locally so residents knew they were invited and felt encouraged to attend.
• Created a free community gathering that supported health, relaxation and social connection in a familiar public space."
