Ardha-Matsyendrasana or the sitting spinal twist.

Scout Hall Location in Cameron Park, Booval
PLEASE have a look at the picture below, for the exact location of the Scout Hall in Cameron Park (BLUE DOT). As street view and google maps might guide you to the wrong section of Cameron Park.
This is where we have the Yoga classes on a Tuesday 6pm and Wednesday 5pm.
OM OM OM
It’s possible that the apple maps on the iPhone is correct. But more than once this year, new people in the yoga class, ended up at the old Swifts Sport Club.
I don’t want to know, how many gave up coming to class, because they were guided to a wrong location ?!?
Maybe if you put into google maps “Foote Street, Booval” you end up very close to the Scout Hall.
