I Can Move More

✨ Mid‑life and beyond can be a powerful chapter - full of reinvention, reflection, and renewed purpose...

But it’s also a time when wellbeing can slip down the priority list.

Over the next few days, we're sharing the Five Ways to Wellbeing, adapted for adults navigating this rich and complex stage of life.

Small shifts can make a big difference. Let’s explore them together!

🌿 Our Yoga for Wellbeing course with Naomi from Doda Yoga starts this month - and there’s still time to join us!

This safe, supportive 12‑week programme is for small, closed groups and led by an experienced yoga therapist. Each session offers a chance to move, stretch, breathe and connect in a calm, welcoming space.

Regular practice can ease aches and pains, lift your mood, quieten racing thoughts and help you reconnect body and mind.

...And just like that, another 12‑week Yoga for Wellbeing journey has come to an end - though only for a moment.

Naomi really does say it all. It’s been a privilege, as always, to witness our participants grow, reconnect, and transform over the weeks. The energy in the room has been something special.

The good news is you won’t have to wait long for the next round! Our new course begins on 14th April at King Arthur’s Hall - and we can’t wait to welcome the next group.

Spaces are limited, so if you’re feeling the pull to join us, now’s the perfect time to reserve your spot ⭐️

12 weeks.

12 weeks of showing up, of leaning in, of taking courageous steps towards understanding themselves a little more. 💛

Our latest Yoga for Wellbeing course has come to an end, and I feel incredibly proud of every single person in this photo, and also those not pictured here. Each of you arrived as you were, and each week chose to show up again and that’s where the real work happens.

No two groups are ever the same, and that’s what makes this journey so special and unique. It’s a joy to hold this space, to witness the growth, the honesty, and the quiet transformations that unfold over time.

I’m so grateful to facilitate these sessions alongside our wonderful volunteers, and with the continued support of Valley Leisure, and . A special thank you to for their space over the last 12 weeks.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, our next course begins on 14th April at King Arthur’s Hall, limited spaces remain.

With love,
Naomi ✨

Mix it up for a longer, healthier life!

A study tracking 110,000 people over 30 years found that doing a variety of exercises each week can have a huge impact on your health - active people who mixed their workouts were 19% less likely to die than those who stuck to just one activity 💪

That effect was even stronger than doing individual sports like walking, tennis, rowing, or jogging alone.

Want to find out more about why variety is the key to longevity?

Don't just focus on one activity - doing a variety every week gives you more health benefits, a study suggests.

😵‍💫 Feeling faint, light-headed or dizzy when you stand up?

Try using “the heart of the legs” ❤️🦵

When you get up, give your legs a little “pump” with some alternate heel raises – just like in the video 👇🏻

Why it works: pumping your legs contracts the muscles around the veins, pushing blood back up to your heart and brain. This helps your blood pressure stabilise, gets oxygen to your brain faster, and can ease that dizzy feeling.

Fun fact: our volunteer Chris came up with the term “the heart of the legs” at our recent I Can Get Up! workshop, where we shared tips for standing safely from a seated position.

⚠️ If feeling faint, dizzy, or light-headed is new, worsening, or persistent, please speak to your pharmacist or GP.
