This is a 9 week course led by Yoga Therapist Sally Roach of Yoga is for Life. 

Sally brings her considerable experience and study of therapeutic and trauma-informed yoga, as well as her personal experience of having and recovering from Chronic Fatigue.

‘Gentle Yoga’ is about creating the conditions for our body to gradually heal by soothing and balancing the nervous system through breathing, gentle movement and relaxation practices that can be done seated or lying down. 

There will be mini-rests between movements and there’s al-ways the choice to drop into the compassionate act of resting.

We begin with creating more ‘functional breathing’, releasing tight muscles that perpetuate a ‘stressed’ breathing pattern. 

Creating healthier patterns that can regulate our nervous system and help to increase the energy production in our cells. 

We progress towards cultivating a friendlier relationship with our mind, body and breath.

This course is paced for people with lower energy who want to explore their breathing patterns and improve their breathing function for greater well-being"

Tai Chi is a mind-body exercise system that is low-impact and suitable for all levels of fitness and capability. 

It consists of a series of gentle postures and movements performed in a slow, graceful manner, some of which are ‘dance-like’ with continuous flow while others are more static and repetitive. 

This course will give you an introduction to Tai Chi. The benefits accrue as the course progresses, enhanced by practice home.
