This Girl Can
Get active during This Girl Can Week.
Come along and get active at our free events as part of VicHealth’s This Girl Can Week held during 12–18 September 2022.
This Girl Can Week 2022 aims to encourage, motivate, and inspire more women to get active in their own way, on their own terms.
We’re hosting five activities during the week which are fun, feel-good, and suited to all women and girls who want to get active again or try something new.
This Girl Can Week is part of the This Girl Can – Victoria campaign that is all about celebrating women getting active – however, wherever and whenever they choose.
Check out the program below:
15 September, 5.30pm | Atrium
Join Vicious Cycle for a group spin class – open to all levels!
This RIDE experience will take you on a multi-sensory journey that is the ultimate full body workout but connects mind and body through the bike with the right balance of music, movement and motivation.
17 September, 11am | Meet outside Koorie Heritage Trust
With an experienced Koorie guide, you will learn how the land on which Melbourne is located has changed over time and about the significance of the Birrarung Wilam to the local Kulin peoples. You will gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of this incredible location: an important gathering place for the Kulin Nation and one of Melbourne’s most popular meeting hubs.
Appropriate clothing dependent on weather and good walking shoes. Reserve a spot here or show up on the day – we’ll keep some spaces available for those wanting to join last minute.
17 September, 2pm & 3pm | Main Stage
Guru Dudu’s Silent Disco Walking Tours feature spontaneous flash mobs, interpretative dance, group singing and lots of fun interaction with onlookers. It’s all about play, love and laughter.
You’ll wear headphones (provided), tuning in to a hilarious guided tour through a select playlist of uplifting dance favourites from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. For all ages!
Drop ins are more than welcome. Each session goes for 30 minutes.
18 September, 11am | Main Stage
Experience a one-of-a-kind immersive yoga experience accompanied by live cello – accessible for all yoga levels. In this gentle Vinyasa class accompanied by hypnotic soundscapes created on live cello, we will take our time moving through simple movements that will slowly open up the body, focusing on connecting breath to movement, and unlocking a sense of balance, space and stillness.
Hosted by cellist Conrad Hamill and yoga instructor Michelle Li.
Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes. Please bring along your own yoga mat.
18 September, 2pm-3pm | Main Stage
