Looking for new ways to keep active and fit this weekend? Here are five to check out, including some that are family friendly – from aerial yoga with kids, to a Sunday morning walk/talk/run, and hot Pilates. Get moving!

1. Parent-child anti-gravity yoga workshop

Turn your kids – and yourself – on your head at this special yoga class that will have you work in parent-child pairs on the mat – and in the hammock.

The 90-minute session includes meditation to help develop concentration, stretching to lower stress and improve flexibility, and inversion, going upside down, to build confidence. Children aged five to 11 are welcome at The Yoga Room, 3/F, 104 Jervois Street, Sheung Wan.

The class is on Saturday from 2.30-4pm.

The cost is HK$500 per pair, HK$200 per extra child. Click here for details and to book.

Immerse yourself in the Olympic spirit at the Hong Kong Sports Institute’s booth. Have your photo taken holding words of encouragement to add to the “cheering wall” in support of Hong Kong athletes who will be participating in the Paris Olympic Games.
