Movement and Meditation Sessions

Join Our Movement and Meditation Sessions!

This brand new class is specifically designed for individuals who are ready to embark on a journey towards enhanced physical and emotional wellbeing. Drawing upon more than 30 years of experience as an occupational therapist, I have supported people with a wide range of physical and emotional challenges. As someone living with a long-term condition myself, I fully appreciate how such challenges can impact wellbeing on multiple levels.

Inclusivity and Adaptation

The classes aim to be inclusive and accessible for people of all abilities. Your unique needs will be thoroughly understood, and each session can be adapted to suit your individual physical requirements. Whether you prefer to take part on a mat or seated in a chair, you can be confident that the class will be tailored for you.

What is Movement & Meditation?

Movement & Meditation is a practice that blends gentle physical movements with mindfulness and breath awareness. Unlike traditional seated meditation, this approach incorporates slow, intentional movements—such as stretching, yoga-inspired poses, or rhythmic exercises—combined with meditative breathing and focused attention. The aim is to foster a strong mind-body connection, helping you to feel grounded, calm, and physically mobile all at once.

Core Principles

• Mindful Movement: Each movement is performed deliberately and in sync with your breath.

• Breath Awareness: Deep, rhythmic breathing helps to calm the nervous system.

• Present-Moment Focus: Attention remains on sensations, posture, and movement flow rather than external distractions.

• Adaptability: The practice can be done on a mat or in a chair, making it suitable for all mobility levels.

How to Join

Your very first class is offered free of charge. If you enjoy the session, you are welcome to book a place or come along on the night. Please note that spaces are limited due to space.

Please still book your place ( even the free one) as I have limited space due to our Hall size.
