Hundreds of people will come together to salute the winter sun with the sand between their toes, as prominent Yogi Madonna Williams hosts a mass yoga class on the oceanfront amphitheatre of Surfers Paradise beach.

The Surfers Paradise Alliance has joined Big Blue Sky and Ms Williams, of Zen Soul Life, to present the unique event on Sunday, June 19 from 8am – 10am, in celebration of World Yoga Day.

More than 500 people of all-ages are expected to take part in the collective practice – a charity event raising awareness and much-needed funds for Bravehearts and Paddle Against Child Abuse (Damien Rider Foundation) – and those wishing to take part are asked to bring a $10 donation.

Themed ‘Connect for Compassion – Stretch to Celebrate’, the family-friendly class is a special way for locals and visitors to de-stress, re-energise and reconnect.
