 FAQ: How do I pay? Can I pay by card?
There are three main payment options available for in-person classes:

Council-funded Active & Healthy classes take a break during the school holidays. So you might be wondering what you can do to keep your momentum going. Here are some options: I didn't know about sleep inertia; did you?
I'm listening to Mel Robbins' book "The 5 Second Rule" on Audible. Mel mentions the concept of sleep inertia - and it blew my mind! In essence, we sleep in 90 to 110 minute cycles, then about two hours before we wake up, our bodies start taking us out of this sleep cycle process in preparation for waking up. The problem is that when we hit snooze, we are essentially telling our body to go back into a sleep cycle. This is why we feel groggy (for up to FOUR HOURS) after eventually getting out of bed after hitting snooze. I found a video by Mel on YouTube which explains this: GO HERE De-zombie-fication
It's November already and it's heating up! That humidity is really starting to kick in. I tend to get into the Hydralyte when the humidity gets high, so I can replenish my electrolytes and get back to some level of normalcy (is that a word?), rather than my high-humidity "zombie mode"! I recommend you focus on whatever form of hydration and electrolytes work for you during these humid days! And you'll be pleased to know that all indoor classes are in AIR-CONDITIONED HALLS!

So, apparently tomorrow (Saturday 31 August) is forecasted to be 36 degrees Celsius. 36 degrees! We're technically still in Winter! WINTER!!! Please be mindful of the heat - drink plenty of water, wear cool clothing, wear a hat and sunglasses for outdoor classes and don't overexert yourself.  CAN KIDS COME TO ACTIVE & HEALTHY CLASSES?
I've recently been receiving a LOT of queries about whether kids can come to my Zumba Gold Fitness classes that are funded by Brisbane City Council under Council's Active & Healthy Program. All of my classes are for ADULTS OF ALL AGES. Teenagers are welcome to participate in the class alongside their parent/guardian, however, this class is not suitable for children 12 and under. In the current chapter of the Adventures of Olga...
