Pause & Breathe CIC

Join Yoga with Rona for gentle Yoga every Monday night (6.30-7.30pm) in our Bo'ness venue.

Rona’s teaching style is gentle, invitational, and rooted in the belief that yoga is for everyone. Whether you are new to yoga or have an established practice, you’ll find a space where you can move at your own pace and feel supported.

Fancy trying wild swimming? Get in the water before it gets too cold!!

On Friday morning there's an open invitation to join us for a wild swim - and then head for a cake and a warm up afterwards.

We'll be meeting at The Place to Pause & Breathe in Bonnybridge at 9.45am, to head over together. Book your space here (it's free to come along - but bring money for the cafe afterwards): https://bookinghawk.com/event/pause-breathe-cic/531/wild-swim-cake-friday-wellbeing/47300

Stepping out my comfort zone this Thursday morning and giving a presentation on my experiences starting up Pause & Breathe CIC -- wish me luck!

Have you booked your slot at our next FVSEN Networking meeting?

Focusing on lived experience and shared knowledge, join us on Thursday 2 October to hear from Bailliefields Community Hub and Pause & Breathe CIC about their Social Enterprise journeys — and share your own experiences with the group. The session will end with a networking lunch allowing you to connect with fellow attendees and continue your discussions.

Open to all social enterprises operating across Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire.

To attend, please book your place via the FVSEN Eventbrite webpage: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/forth-valley-social-enterprise-network-fv-sen-meeting-tickets-1116346786289?msockid=3ae167b6aff56df4295c738cae8c6c22

Happy Birthday to our Phil - who puts so much time and effort into Pause & Breathe, all on a voluntary basis.

Big love to him from us all 🎂♥🎉🥳

Coming up this week in our Bonnybridge & Bo'ness venues, and online - pics of our weekly timetable are attached.

All of our weekly sessions are on, except online Qi Gong with Phil tomorrow night - I thought I'd give him his birthday off! So we have a full timetable in both centres. Why not try a new yoga class, or come to Thai Boxing?

As well as our weekly sessions, we have:
Online Yoga Nidra - Welcoming Autumn on Tuesday 8.45-9.30pm

Wellbeing Walk round Bonnybridge Nature Reserve with Jonny on Thursday - meeting at the centre at 11am.

Lunch Club in Bonnybridge on Thursday - bring your lunch along, from 12.15pm onwards for a chat.

Our Friday Wellbeing session is a Wild Swim, followed by cake with Susie - are you brave enough to come along?

We've got the Hunter Moon Rest Circle Friday night in Bonnybridge with Susie.

Saturday sees the continuation of our Strength & Stretch group PT sessions with Andrew, and the start of our new Community Yoga classes - book in for a block of 6 to save money (both Bonnybridge).

What do you fancy coming to?

Different ways of enjoying this beautiful Autumnal weather. Our Gardening Group met this morning and got stuck in with some digging and planting.

I hosted a Mental Health Swim at Dumbrock Loch.

Both good ways of looking after both mental and physical health.

Get in contact if you're interested in either 🧡

Our gardening group are meeting tomorrow (Sunday) from 10.30am - we'd love it if you could come along and give a hand.

No expertise in gardening needed - just a willingness to lend a hand.

The Place to Pause & Breathe, 18 High Street, Bonnybridge - come along!
