After 18 busy years of establishing, growing and nurturing Active Launceston, our founder Lucy Byrne and the Healthy Tasmania team have made the tough decision to step back from managing our beloved program.
We’re thrilled to share that the City of Launceston has taken on full ownership and day-to-day stewardship of this much-loved community initiative. Lucy will put the Council team through the full Active Launceston 101, ensuring everyone’s up to speed and the program continues with minimal disruption.
We’ve no doubt Lucy and the team will never be too far away, cheering us on from the sidelines or joining us in a tree pose in City Park!
Stay tuned for more updates and details about the upcoming season, exciting times ahead for Active Launceston and our amazing community.

🌅 One Last Stretch Before We Say Goodbye... (for now) 🧘♀️
As the summer light begins to fade and our Active Launceston sessions wrap up, we’ve got one more Yoga session left in the tank. Do you?
Join the wonderful Kinga from Satsang Yoga Sanctuary for a final free Yoga session this Tuesday at 6pm in beautiful City Park.
Expect movement, mindfulness, and maybe a few autumn breezes—so don’t forget to dress in layers 🧥🧘♂️
Let’s end the season the way we started it—calm, connected, and just a little bit stretchy 💛 thank you of Launceston Official

☀️ Last Chance to Stretch and Flow! 🧘♂️🪑🌳
It’s almost time to roll up the mats, pack up the armchairs (figuratively, of course!) and wave goodbye to Active Launceston sessions as we wrap up Summer 2025.
That’s right—there’s only ONE more session to go for:
🧘 Yoga in the Park
🌿 Tai Chi under the trees
🪑 Active Armchairs for low-impact movement
Maybe you’ve come every week, maybe you’ve just been thinking about it—either way, this is your moment to show up and finish the season strong!
A big thanks to City of Launceston Official for making this feel-good, move-more program possible.
Let’s end on a high note. See you there?

🌸 There’s something extra special about Tai Chi on a Sunday🌿
As our participants practiced last Sunday in City Park, they were surrounded by these fabulous colours! 🌺🌼
If you needed a sign to slow down, breathe deeply, and move mindfully, this is it! Join us on Sundays at 3.30 pm and soak up the beauty while you stretch, balance, and restore.
As we move into Autumn, the park will keep changing, and we’ll be here to soak it all in—one peaceful breath at a time. 🌳✨ of Launceston Official
