PLAY
Rambling
The Lowveld Rambling Club does a hike every Saturday, with distances ranging from 6km to 12km. It’s fun, refreshing and gives you a great excuse to get out of the house. Take money for snacks.
Dancers offers Egyptian fusion classes from pre-teens to adults and Bakira Belly Dance Studio offers Egyptian cabaret, Middle Eastern dancing, Turkish modern and tribal fusion.
Nia Dancing
Through the incorporation of martial arts, dance and healing arts, Nia’s philosophy is to find health through movement. The barefoot, non-impact choreography encourages both men and women to connect their body, mind, spirit and emotions by engaging their senses and listening to their bodies. This dance form not only strengthens the body, it also improves cardiovascular health, memory, body awareness and it reduces stress.
Canoeing
Canoeing and kayaking are great low impact activities. Join the Lowveld Canoe Club and get full access to Longmere Dam, club boats, coaching, trips down the Elands and Crocodile Rivers and become part of a team that regularly achieves podium positions at national races. If you simply want to cruise down the river in your canoe, you can pay an entry fee at Lake Longmere’s gate and go at your own pace.
Yoga weekends
The beautiful Killarney Farm House, near the Sudwala Caves, hosts two yoga weekend retreats a year, in spring and autumn. There are two daily yoga classes in the lovely gardens. Meditation walks, creative movement classes and art activities are all offered. Your hosts are Denise, a Sivananda yoga teacher; Kerri, a Kundalini teacher and Sanna, an acupuncturist and TRE practitioner.
The next retreat is May 22, 2015.
