Yoga
Tuesday 3.30pm – 5.00pm in the village hall.
Exercise sessions, based around yoga principles.
- The sessions are all about helping everyone to explore and safely challenge and extend their individual range of movement. Forget yoga stereotypes – these sessions are not about tying yourself in knots in some ‘perfect’ posture! You should leave feeling freer, relaxed and rejuvenated.
- Wear warm, loose clothing, (layers are best), a water bottle and bring an exercise mat if you have one.
- Everyone welcome, no experience needed. Please come 15 mins early if you’re new to the session, so I can find out how best to accommodate your needs.
- Cost is the hall hire divided by number of people coming (min.£1, max £9). First, ‘taster’ session free.
- Current regular attendance of 6 people, so we’re a nice, friendly, informal, small class.
- The facilitator is an accredited and insured yoga teacher (Friends of Yoga training) and has been running the Rattery class since 2019.
- Any questions please email khoward@linebyline.co.uk
