I would want to visit Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, both very nice seaside towns. I would love to walk on the old cobbles, explore different corners of the village. They are difficult to reach by public transport thus I haven't had a chance to visit. I wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity to visit this place!!’ 🏝 🌊 ? ?

Hello Yogis, we have an important update regarding our GIAG sessions - the Ashtanga class scheduled for tomorrow at 6:30 will NO LONGER be running meaning our classes for semester 1 have now come to an end. Firstly, we want to thank our amazing teachers for helping us all get through these very stressful times and being so patient with the change in format. Not to forget the amazing Give it a Go who worked so hard to make these classes and other events possible not only for us but all the other societies! We finally want to thank all of YOU amazing people who make our society possible and have stuck by us throughout this weird year that was 2020. The committee wish you all a very merry Christmas and even happier new year; full of positive vibes and feelings of calm. We wish you the best of luck with work BUT also want to remind you to take care of your bodies and your minds above all else. Keep your eyes peeled for future classes starting in semester 2! # # #
