Happy Bank Holiday Monday to you!
Reminder that we have no CHAIR YOGA class today, but you can join us from next week if you wish - newcomers always welcome!

🪑 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮?
We know there's lots of people who would love to try yoga, or get back into it, but floor yoga is not for them.

Chair Yoga means no getting up and down off the floor - and instead uses the chair as the base for seated poses, as well as for support in standing/balancing poses.

It's a great way to support you to move more, in your way - and to help you relax, unwind and take some time for yourself.

🪑 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 & 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲
Mondays 1.45-2.30pm
at Penkhull Village Hall
Complimentary brews from 1.15

🪑 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
£4 per class (cash on the door), no need to pre-book

🪑 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿

Last night we hosted a 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 with our fabulous Carnival Drum band, and it was AMAZING ⭐️

Well done to everyone who took part - the newbies playing for the first time, the returnees who came back for more, and our band members who support everyone and help to create layers of drummy goodness.

Drumming together feels absolutely BRILLIANT - it's a great workout for the brain, helps improve our focus, reduces stress and gives our mood and energy a massive boost 💥

We'll be sharing details of our next drum workshop soon but in the meantime you can join our waitlist to get first dibs on booking your place here
