Frequently asked questions

No. All classes are drop-in so just come along when you can. Although the teacher may build on some routines through the weeks, each class will be inclusive for new starters as well. All movements are explained and demonstrated verbally and physically, with options to adapt or develop if needed.

We recommend seeking advice from your GP before you take part in any new physical activity, but all movements and exercises can be adapted to suit your needs.

We are always looking to expand our staff wellbeing programmes to other NHS Trusts, get in touch to find out more.
