Movement for Wellbeing
Free online classes for people under 25!
Thanks to funding from Gloucester Cathedral.
At the start of COVID-19 isolation we had free online yoga classes funded by SportEngland, these ran for three months and were a great success. From that Gloucester Cathedral have generously funded another 8 week course running 13th Oct – 3rd Dec.

Extra Information
What will we be doing?
Hour long movement classes on zoom, combination of faster based ‘flowing’ movements and slower paced exercises to work on strength, building confidence, energy and motivation and stretching deeply, releasing muscular tension. We will also be doing some playful challenging postures to improve balance and have some fun.
No previous experience is needed, the classes will be adaptable for everyone with different stages of postures depending on if you want a challenge or if you want to take it easy.

Robin is a fantastic teacher and never fails to make me feel happy and relaxed during her classes. Her yoga classes are perfect if you are looking for a way to unwind after a stressful day at work or just a fun evening activity. Robin is always patient and makes you feel welcome regardless of your ability. Her classes are made extra special by her glowing personality and warm energy.
Thank you so much for the lovely yoga sessions, my family and I have been doing them before bed to relax. You’re a really great teacher!
Yoga helps me feel happy and stress free and is improving my flexibility. (My cat has also been enjoying these lessons as she sleeps through most of them on the back of the sofa!)
We loved it and slept very well after the session :-)
