Mat Pilates - 4 Week Course
Alpine Natural Health
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Alpine Multi Skill Group in conjunction with Mountain Pilates invites you to a 4-week Mat Pilates series. Move better, feel stronger and create space for both body and mind. Each class blends strength, mobility, posture, flexibility, breathwork and mindfulness to improve the way you move while helping ease tension and build resilience. Whether you’re new to Pilates or have experience, every exercise includes options so you can work at a level that suits you. We often use small equipment such as bands, balls and foam rollers to keep classes engaging and effective. Participants should be comfortable getting to and from the floor. Classes are recommended for those who are injury-free and are not suitable during pregnancy. Each session builds on the skills and practices explored the week before, so participants are asked to commit to attending the full four-week course. Date: 14 October - 4 November (Wednesdays) Time: 6pm - 7pm Venue: Alpine Natural Health, 104C Gavan Street, Bright Places are limited to 8 participants for the four-week course. --------------------------- PLEASE NOTE All participants must complete the Mountain Pilates Registration Form via: https://momence.com/l/wyhwmjnB This allows you to sign your participant waiver and provides Mountain Pilates with the details they need to facilitate the class.

Mount Buffalo Snowshoe
Eurobin Creek Picnic Area
12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Come explore the trails of Mount Buffalo with us! We’re heading up to Mount Buffalo for a chilled winter adventure — 5km of fresh alpine air & stunning scenery. Never tried snowshoeing? Perfect. Love a relaxed hike? Also perfect. We’ll keep the pace cruisy so there’s time to soak it all in (and stop for snacks, obviously). Meet us at the Eurobin Creek Picnic Area at 12pm — we’ll wrap up around 3pm. Snowshoes are available to hire from Porepunkah Ski Hire (5 Nicholson St, Porepunkah). We’ll update you closer to the day on snow conditions, and if it’s looking light, we’ll swap the snowshoes for a scenic hike instead.  Everyone’s welcome — layer up, grab your beanie, and get ready for a fun afternoon in the mountains. As always, alpine weather can be unpredictable, so if conditions turn and we need to make any changes, we’ll keep everyone updated closer to the date. But for now, pop it in your diary!

Are you planning a trip to the snow this winter but want to make sure you can safely fit chains and confidently navigate alpine driving conditions? This hands-on workshop is designed to give you the skills and knowledge to enjoy your next winter adventure.   We'll start indoors in the warmth, where you'll have the opportunity to practice fitting chains on a demonstration wheel mounted on a stand. We'll also discuss safe driving practices in snowy and icy conditions, including when chains are required, how to drive with chains fitted, and other tips to help keep you safe on the mountain.   If weather conditions permit, we'll finish the session outside with the opportunity to fit chains to your own vehicle, with guidance and support from experienced helpers. If you already own a set of chains, please bring them along so you can practice with the equipment you'll be using on the mountain. If you're looking to purchase chains, the team at Bright Chalet can help you select the correct size for your vehicle. Whether you're completely new to alpine driving or simply looking for a refresher, this workshop is a great way to build confidence before the winter season.   A big thank you to Bright Chalet for generously hosting this event. Participants attending on the night will also receive:   • 10% off new retail items • An additional 10% off already discounted items • 10% off servicing   Come along and gain the confidence to enjoy all that the snow season has to offer.   This event is part of our Micro Skills series which run on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
