Yoga4Health 10-week course with Nikki

Tuesday evenings 17:30-19:00

Venue: Place House Hall in Ware

• Are you living with stress, anxiety or mild to moderate depression?

• Do you suffer from social isolation and loneliness?

• Or perhaps you feel like you want to gain more control over your own health and wellbeing?

We are very excited to be able to bring this course to you. The Yoga4Health evidence-based programme was commissioned by the NHS and created by the Yoga in Healthcare Alliance. It fuses the wisdom of ancient practices with modern medical science. The programme’s benefits have been validated by Westminster University.

Yoga4Health classes are inclusive and secular and do not promote any religious position.

The Yoga4Health on Prescription 10-week programme supports you to gain self-care skills by learning yoga postures and breathing, relaxation and mindfulness techniques. No prior experience or knowledge is needed, and the gentle stretching and strengthening yoga postures can be done in a chair or on a yoga mat.

This is an inclusive class where people with additional needs (this could be a disability, illness, injury etc.) are very welcome.

Each one of the 10 hour and a half sessions is led by an expert Yoga4Health teacher and all sessions include the following:

• Opening and closing group discussion

• Breathing practices

• Accessible yoga postures

• Meditation and mindfulness

• Relaxation

There will be handouts to take home with you for in between sessions that you can do at home – this can then be discussed as a group if you wish to share at the beginning of a session. These can be a good addition for you own self-care toolbox and continued self-practice at home prior to the course finishing.

The 10-week programme will take place on the same day and time every week at the beautiful Place House Hall in Ware - a warm and welcoming environment to everyone .

Please bring a blanket and your own mat, block and belt if you have one. However if you are unable to, please let us know in advance and The Secret Space can make arrangements for you.

Much of the course is seated and chairs are provided so all you need to do is bring yourself (and your mat if you have one) to get started.
