Yoga Balance and Strength Workshop
18th of January 10am - 12 pm
Mill Cottage Hall

£16 pp

I will guide you step by step to many strength and balance yoga poses. 🫶

Strength supports good physical health, mental wellbeing and quality of life. Helps prevent injuries, strengthens bones, boosts mood and helps against chronic illness like diabetes and heart diseases.

Good balance helps prevent falls, improves cognitive function, strengthening core muscles, stabilises joints, trains the brain to coordinates movement.

The workshop will allow us the space and time to practice the postures from the beginning so we can learn and understand the principles and how they support our mind and body.

Coffee, tea and healthy fruit 🍇 smoothies available at the end of the practical session. Time for a natter and reflection.

Suitable for all levels as modifications are offered.

To book ping me a DM or call 07887991889

Thank you 🙏

Sometimes the simplest habits have the biggest impact. That’s the lesson from 102-year-old yoga instructor Charlotte Chopin, who still teaches three classes each week in her quiet French village 🤯

Chopin didn’t start yoga until she was 50, fell in love with it, and began teaching at 60. Over 40 years later, she continues her same simple sequence of postures, practiced with purpose and joy. No fancy equipment, no trendy programs just consistency and enjoyment.

Her secret isn’t only the exercise. It’s the community she shares it with. She cherishes her students, many decades younger, and the social bonds she nurtures keep her motivated, engaged, and physically active. Research confirms that meaningful relationships can improve longevity, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being.

Gratitude is another key. Chopin credits her longevity to appreciating her health, her children, and having an activity she loves. Studies show a grateful mindset can reduce stress, promote healthier behaviors, and even lower mortality risk.

Finally, her classes show the power of group movement. Moving together releases oxytocin, building connection and elevating mood. The shared joy of motion becomes a powerful emotional boost, far beyond physical fitness.

The lesson from Charlotte’s life is simple: show up daily in small, consistent, and joyful ways. Whether stretching for 10 minutes, walking with a friend, or dancing in your kitchen, it’s regular, enjoyable movement, community, purpose, and gratitude that truly sustain body and mind decades beyond what you might expect.

Consistency beats intensity. Joy sustains effort. And a small, meaningful routine can carry you further than any trend or hack.
