💙 Moving through Blue Monday 💙

We're not letting Blue Monday get us down today! 💪

Moving your body releases endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline and seratonin which act as the body's natural painkillers and mood elevators. In other words, getting your body moving makes you feel good! 🚀

You can get your body moving in so many ways, including a dip in the pool, lifting weights, dancing in your kitchen, walking your dog, and even cleaning your home. However you choose to move, choose to move today. 🕺

How do you love to get your body moving? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🌿 Breathe, move, flow with Hatha Yoga. 🌿

Hatha Yoga is a relaxing and gentle class that helps align body and mind. Through mindful movement and breath awareness we release tension, improve suppleness and restore balance.

Each class includes energising and calming yoga postures, at first lying on the mat and then standing. All abilities are welcome. You can bring a blanket for the guided relaxation at the end of the class.

✨ If you love this style of mindful movement, you may also enjoy our Yoga Wellness Day — a full-day retreat focused on rest, reflection, breathwork, and gentle movement, designed to help you reset and flourish.

🧘‍♀️ Join us on the mat, slow things down, and give yourself the time your body and mind deserve.

📞 Speak to the team in centre or visit our website to find class times and book your space.
