From January 2025, the Yoga in Healthcare Alliance and St John’s Centre will be offering a free 10-week Yoga course to Trafford residents who either:
- are at risk of Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular (heart or lung) disease;
- have stress, anxiety or mild/moderate depression; or
- are suffering from social isolation.
This 10-week programme will include:
- breathing practices
- Simple yoga postures
- meditation and mindfulness
- relaxation
- group discussion
No experience is needed, and the gentle stretching and strengthening exercises can be done standing, in a chair, or on a yoga mat. The course is open to both women and men.
If you or someone you know would like to join the course, you can either discuss it with your GP or Social Prescribing Link Worker, or self-refer by contacting Jane Bartholomew on 07519 642 684 or [email protected] to find out more and book a place.
