Celebrate International Women’s Day with Elixr
International Women’s Day, which takes place on 8 March, holds a lot of significance for us at Elixr. We know it’s not always easy to find a balance between work, family and time for yourself. That’s why we’ve created Elixr to be a space where our members can re-energise and refocus, whether through Pilates, yoga, meditation or our general fitness classes.
There’s plenty happening at Elixr this month, to celebrate International Women’s Day, we’re holding a special twilight yoga class with Aimee Pederson and a live violinist. Bondi Rescue star, Harries Carroll will be hosting a Blackroll workshop and the performers of Blanc de Blanc Encore are leading a flexibility workshop – details of all events are below. We hope to see you there!
