Rainy Day Picks This Weekend

11–12 July Near Hallow

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Hallow, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

healthy hips + pelvic floor awareness7

healthy hips + pelvic floor awareness

at Yahra

our hips are central to how we move, stand, sit and carry ourselves through daily life. they support our posture, connect the upper and lower body, and influence the way we experience balance, stability and freedom of movement. when the hips become restricted or disconnected, the effects can be felt throughout the body, from the lower back, groins and legs, to the spine. this workshop offers a practical and mindful approach to improving hip mobility, building stability, and developing a deeper awareness of the pelvis. we will also explore the pelvic floor as an important part of the hip and pelvic system. rather than focusing only on strengthening, you will learn how to sense, soften and engage the pelvic floor with more awareness. this can support better posture, breath, core connection and nervous system balance. we will spend the first hour exploring basic anatomy and gentle self-assessment, followed by a 90-minute guided yoga practice. you will learn how to release tension, improve your range of movement, and create a more balanced relationship between the hips, pelvis and whole body. this workshop is suitable for anyone who would like to move with more ease, feel more connected to their hips and pelvis, and better understand how this important area supports the whole body.
