New Spin class at Biggar Sports Centre starting Thursday 21st August 7.15pm till 8pm with Aileen Walker

All bookings through Biggar Sports Centre .

You don’t have to be especially fit, skinny (or willing to
shoehorn yourself into lycra) to benefit from these classes! All that’s needed
is an openness to different ways of working with the breath, body and mind. We
explore mantra, philosophy, breathwork, meditation and mindful movement –
finishing up with a deep relaxation or yoga nidra. The aim here is not to “nail
poses”, but to find kind and supportive ways to ease into a connected relationship
with your own body, spirit and mind. As a curious side effect, maybe you’ll become
stronger, better balanced or more flexible along the way!
