The Health & Exam Benefits of a Gong Siesta
A Gong Siesta is a powerful alternative to the pharmaceutical approach to treating stress, insomnia, low energy, fatigue, poor focus, jet lag, and other sleep-related issues. Not getting enough sleep or having poor quality sleep directly impacts mental and physical health. During sleep, inflammation and waste products are filtered and reduced from the body and brain, which boosts healing, repair, regeneration, mood, energy, and health. Osteopath Jarvia Foxter will be available.

Yogalates
Yogalates combines the gentle stretch of yoga with its asanas (postures) and mindfulness, along with the core-building strength and posture awareness of Pilates. The practice begins like a traditional yoga class, including warm-ups, joint stretches, short meditation, and breathing exercises.
As the session progresses, the movements gradually increase to almost the pace of Pilates. Yogalates aims to improve flexibility, tone the body, enhance posture, and develop coordination while stimulating blood circulation.
Suitable for all levels.
Please wear something comfortable that you can move in. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat or mats will be provided on the day.
