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! Please bring your own mat, blanket and any pillows, cushions or eye bags you may need. These classes are run by South Lanarkshire Leisure. Places should be booked in advance via Biggar Sports Centre,  01899 222066 or via the web – see below for details.
