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.

Chair yoga is an effective, supportive and inclusive practice for those with a wide range of health conditions. The practice takes place in a chair and there may be some standing work too, if appropriate.

Here’s what you will learn:

How to co-ordinate breath and gentle movement

How to improve flexibility and balance

Breathing techniques to support lung function

Ways to lower blood pressure, ease anxiety and mild depression

Reduce racing thoughts

In recognition of differing incomes and circumstances, you may choose to pay either £6, £8 or £10 per class.
