Who are these 8 week class series suitable for?
If you are experiencing muscle tension, stiffness and/or pain (back, hip, neck, shoulders) then these class series are for you. They will help you learn how to move freely without pain, allowing greater co-ordination and suppleness throughout the entire body. These gentle, relaxing movements are wonderful to help you to continue to do all the things you love (yoga, pilates, gardening, walking) with greater ease and fluidity. Throughout the classes you will gain confidence to develop a daily 15 minute practice to maintain and build upon the changes you experience in the class. This class will be limited to 8 participants. Open to all, no experience necessary. You are warmly invited to attend.
Each class series will have its own theme but will always include the essential, basic movements as the foundation to build upon.
What do I need to bring?
A yoga mat (or you are welcome to rent one for £1), comfortable clothing you can move and breathe in.
