About the course: Yoga has been used for centuries to improve physical and mental health. Gentle stretches and strengthening to release tightness, improve alignment and reinvigorate underused muscles. Focusing the mind on the body and breath takes it away from worries. Regular practise of relaxation has massive health benefits as it allows the body’s own healing systems to be more active

What shall I bring: Wear suitable loose comfortable clothing. Whilst most of the session will be done using the chair, if you would like to use the mat for some of the postures please feel free to bring it along as this course is tailored to what your body needs. Don’t forget a bottle of water
