                                            🧘♀️ Last night, I started a new term of the Yoga for Wellbeing group class at Heatherside Community Centre. 🧘♀️
I asked my regular students (this term, no new students!) to write down at least one reason why they keep coming back. Their answers often combine physical, mental, and social benefits:
🧘♀️ Consistency & Routine – Classes provide structure that helps maintain a regular practice.
🧘♀️ Motivation – Attending a class helps those who struggle to practice consistently at home.
🧘♀️ Physical Benefits – Yoga improves flexibility, balance, strength, and overall fitness.
🧘♀️ Mental Wellbeing – The relaxed, focused environment helps reduce stress, increase mindfulness, and boost mood.
🧘♀️ Community & Support – Practicing with friendly participants creates a sense of belonging.
🧘♀️ Clear Guidance – Skilled teachers give clear instructions, making practice easier and more effective.
🧘♀️ Enjoyment & Love of Yoga – Simply enjoying the practice and the atmosphere keeps people returning.
💛 It’s wonderful to see how yoga supports not just the body, but the mind and community too! 
💛 What is our reason for coming back to a yoga class?
