Yoga and Yoga Therapy for Well Being

Judith Davis Minded Yoga

Yoga for Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Restless Nights ….

As a background to my work, I am passionate about the power of yoga in not only keeping us balanced and healthy,  but also to help heal the whole self – mind and body.

Over two years ago I ran a pilot course lasting for 8 weeks:  Gentle Yoga, Breathwork, Mindfulness & Mediation for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain in Uplyme and it was a resounding success.  This was completed in collaboration with the Primary Care Network Teams of the NHS in both Dorset and East Devon. There was positive feedback from the participants such as finding their perception of pain reduced, improved sleep patterns and feeing more relaxed generally, it was decided to continue these classes through the NHS (Social Prescribing Teams) and privately. As a result, these invaluable sessions are now open to everyone to attend.

These in-person classes offer scientifically proven breathing practices to help support health and wellbeing, more nourishing sleep patterns and to bring about the relaxation response throughout the whole being. This is whilst offering the opportunity to build strength and flexibility in the body and mind.  The 70 minute class is followed by a chat over a warm drink and a biscuit or two, all to build a sense of community and a sense that you are not alone in your journey.

Each class includes mindfulness, breathwork, a tool to support your wellbeing and growth,  movement, deep guided relaxation plus some home practices to take away 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 2026 inclusive
  • PLACE:        The Scout Hut (our Uplyme Oasis) , Rhode Lane, Uplyme
  • TIME:           1.45pm – 3.30pm  includes a chat over a warm drink and biscuits
  • COST            for the class, drink & snack

~Pay in Advance online for one class: (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)

~Drop In (pay on the day): £12.00

(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 your commitment to your health and wellbeing 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 the symptoms of pain and discomfort in their body, to reduce stress and anxiety and change deepseated patterns of thinking and behavior,  or who wishes to get a better night’s sleep; or simply who would like to increase the strength and flexibility in their body and overall wellbeing.
  • Beginners are always welcome.
  • The classes can be done on a chair or a mat.
