Hello lovely people

I am excited to tell you that the Pilot Course of Yoga for Chronic Pain that I have been running in Uplyme has proved a success. This was carried out in collaboration with the Primary Care Network Teams of the NHS in both Dorset and East Devon.  With positive feedback from the participants such as finding their perception of pain reduced;  improved sleep patterns and feeing more relaxed generally, it has been decided that these classes will continue to be offered both through the NHS (Social Prescribing Teams) and privately by myself. As a result, these invaluable sessions are now open to everyone to attend.

These in-person classes offer, not only breathing practices to help you feel better, sleep well and bring about the relaxation response throughout your whole being,  but also the opportunity to build strength and flexibility in your body and mind, followed by a chat over a cup of tea/coffee/herbal drink.

Each class includes breathwork, a tool to support your wellbeing and growth,  movement, deep guided relaxation plus some home practices to take away with you so you can continue to develop between classes.

The sessions are open to complete beginners and can be done on a chair or a mat.  (If you have your own mat please bring it along.)

The details are as follows:

• DATES:        Tuesdays 8th September – 13th October – 6 weeks
• PLACE:        The Scout Hut (our Uplyme Oasis!!) , Rhode Lane, Uplyme
• TIME:           1.45pm – 3pm followed by a chat over a warm drink and biscuits (ending around 3.15/3.30pm)
• COST: (to include class, drink & snack)

~Drop In (pay on the day): £12.00

~Pay in Advance online: (ie pay before the day of the class): £10.00

~Pay for a block of 6 sessions in advance: £48.00 (ie £8.00 a class)

(I would like to stress that whilst there is a Drop-In option for the sessions (because we all lead very busy lives and sometimes just cannot commit), the full benefit will only be achieved by a commitment to your health and well being by regular and consistent attendance… the course is planned so that each session builds on the previous one and therefore the progress and changes to your mental & physical health is cumulative over the weeks.   I can assure you that if you commit to yourself regularly you will definitely notice the difference in so many aspects of your life)

• Who are the classes for?:   Anyone & everyone who wishes to reduce pain and discomfort in their body, to reduce stress and anxiety or who wishes to get a better night’s sleep; or who would like to increase the strength and flexibility in their body and overall wellbeing. Beginners are always welcome.

Please share this with your friends …. If you bring someone along who has not been before then your class will be free!
