Moving with Your Body

Body & Mind

We are wrapping up warm and heading outdoors this autumn and winter. Join with others to keep your spirits lifted and body in motion with guided gentle movement to music in the park.

Seated or Standing

You are welcome to bring a folding chair or join in standing up. These sessions will go ahead come rain or shine, and are crafted to support limited mobility, chronic pain conditions and anyone who would benefit from getting moving in the company of others.

What to expect

A warm welcome, a relaxing meditative start, uplifting music, enjoyable exercises and movement tools for daily use with a creative twist!

Feeling social? There will be the chance to have an informal chat after class.
