Mindful Movement
8-week yoga course in Plymouth
Are you looking for a gentle, supportive yoga practice, or want to explore mindful movement in a welcoming environment?
Following the success of our recent course, we are delighted to be launching a new date for our Mindful Movement 8-week yoga wellbeing course in Plymouth next month. Join us for a weekly moment to press pause and come back to yourself. The course is designed to help you reconnect with your body, deepen your breath, and create weekly space for calm and self-care.

Leave each session feeling lighter, calmer, and more energised

Course format:
Mindful Movement is an eight-week course consisting of 8 x 1.30-hour sessions (one per week). Each session will include 45-60 minutes of movement followed by an opportunity to have a drink and connect with others. This course is facilitated by a qualified yoga instructor and Recovery Practitioner. Participants are recommended to wear loose, comfortable clothing and to bring along a water bottle. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat to the session, or we will have some available for you to use.
Due to the anticipated demand, we are asking participants to commit to attending the 8 sessions. Registration and an upfront payment of £20 is required in order to join. This small fee helps support our continued sustainability in delivering services.
If you have attended our previous yoga course and would like to take part again, you are welcome to contact our office to request placement on the waiting list. Priority will initially be given to those attending the course for the first time.
Please note: You do not have to be of any particular level of fitness or yoga experience to engage in this course.
The sessions are designed to be gentle, inclusive, and adaptable to all bodies.
