**Hatha Yoga – Effort & Ease** ### **When & Where?** 🗓 **Saturday at 8:00am** ⏰ **45-minute session** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North - behind the Rotunda on the grass** (A pinned map location and image gallery will help you find us.) 🌧️ **Weather:** Because this class is outdoors, the event may be cancelled if rain is likely. Please check the event page before attending, Melbourne weather can be a little chaotic! *** **About the Session:Hatha Yoga - Effort & Ease** This is a gentle, beginner-friendly Hatha yoga class designed to help you move slowly, breathe with intention, and feel grounded in your body. **What is Hatha yoga -Effort & Ease** Hatha yoga is traditionally described as the union of two energies - the activating quality of heat and the calming quality of coolness. In this practice, we explore the space between effort and ease. We don’t push, and we don’t collapse. We move slowly enough to feel where the body naturally lands, and we use the breath to guide us into balance. Today is about learning how to meet each shape with steadiness and softness at the same time. The sequence will be slow, grounding, and supportive - ideal for beginners or anyone wanting a calm, clear start to the day. We’ll warm up gently, move through simple stabilising shapes, then finish with a short rest to integrate. No experience is needed. You’re welcome exactly as you are. ***What to Bring*** • A yoga mat • A blanket or warm layer • Comfortable clothes • Optional cushion for extra comfort (If you forget a mat, still come - I’ll have a couple of extras 😊) *** **Attending** Please Rsvp if you know you are coming. If you haven’t RSVP’d and want to join last minute, please feel welcome. The group is relaxed and friendly. **Starting Setup** We begin at 800am. Arriving a few minutes early helps you land, get settled, and start the morning slowly. *** **Running Late?** No stress at all. Just join quietly whenever you arrive - you won’t interrupt the class 😊. *** **I am also running a meditation session at 9am after Hatha yoga finishes.** If you would like to come to both please click attending in the meditation session too 🙏😊 **Looking forward to practicing with you 🌿✨** **Kathy** #

**Hatha Yoga - Breath & Grounding** **When & Where?** 🗓 **Saturday at 9:00am** ⏰ **45-minute session** 📍 **Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy North - behind the Rotunda on the grass** (Map pins + image gallery available on the event.) 🌧️ **Weather:** Outdoor sessions may be cancelled if rain is likely. Please check the event page beforehand. **About the Session: Hatha Yoga - Breath & Grounding** This second session focuses on slow, grounding movements and breath-led stability. It is completely beginner-friendly, with simple shapes and a calm pace that helps you connect inward. **Breath & Grounding** **One of the foundations of Hatha yoga is the understanding that breath shapes the state of the mind.** When the breath is slow, the mind becomes quiet; when the breath is steady, the body feels supported. **In this session, we focus on grounding - using breath and simple shapes to feel held by the earth beneath us.** This practice teaches us that steadiness isn’t something we force. It’s something we allow. We’ll move through slow, supportive postures that help the mind settle and the body drop into a steadier rhythm. This class is perfect for beginners or anyone wanting a soft reset for the nervous system. We finish with a brief rest to integrate the breath and grounding theme. **What to Bring** • Yoga mat • Warm layers • Comfortable clothing • Optional small cushion (I will have a few extra Mats. please try to bring your own, but Mats available if needed 😊) *** **Attending** if you havent RSVP’d and want to come last minute, you're more then Welcome. more the merrier 😆✨️. **Starting Setup** We begin at **8:00am**. Arriving early helps you settle, find your spot, and ease into the morning. **Running Late?** No problem at all. Join quietly when you arrive - you won’t disrupt anything 😊 **Meditation session after this hatha yoga class - session starts at 9am.** If you would like to come to both sessions please RSVP for both events. 😆🙏 **Excited to practice together** 🌾✨ **Kathy**

Join us as we celebrate **National Spaghetti Day** with this hearty dish! Though the origins of spaghetti are disputed—whether it was Marco Polo bringing back culinary invention from the East or a home-grown Sicilian treat dating back to the 12th Century—we can all agree that a cold day with a big bowl of noodle-y, saucy goodness is balm for the soul. # Carfagnas Spaghetti and Sauce *Everybody's favorite!* Our handmade egg spaghetti topped with our homemade marinara and served with two of our famous meatballs. There are other classic spaghetti dishes on the menu, too. **Where:** We'll have tables in their beautiful upscale bar at Carfagna's Ristorante; and you need to check out everything Italian this place has to offer under one roof!!

Session Abstract **Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric** Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem.

You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines. You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit. Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
