Hi all! A student reached out to us to help them with their research, please give it a read! 🩷

"Hi there, my name is Malley and I'm a student at Glasgow Caledonian University in my final year studying applied psychology! I am currently in the process of doing my final year dissertation and I'm currently looking for participants.

My study is exploring the perceptions how the practice of yoga can influence long-term emotional wellbeing amongst students at university in Scotland. Therefore, I'm looking for students in Scotland that are happy to take part in an interview to discuss the benefits of yoga and how it's made an impact in their life! It's all anonymous to allow the student to speak freely about their experiences with yoga.

Hi all! A student reached out to us to help them with their research, please give it a read! 🩷

"Hi, my name is Jess, and I’m conducting research as part of my Clinical Psychology Doctorate at University of Exeter, on how yoga supports the wellbeing of children and young people with physical health conditions or disabilities.

I’m looking to recruit participants for my study, to interview children or young people aged 9-25, and/or parents/carers of children 0-25 who have done at least one yoga session in the past 12 months. They would also need to be able to communicate in English via a Teams call. And there's a chance of winning a £100 shopping voucher!

Interested in Calisthenics but never had the chance to try? Then our collab with the is just for you! 💜

Calisthenics is a special form of working out, based on exercises that only use body weight and little or no equipment. Beginners welcome!

Free for our Society members this Thursday (14.11, 7:30-9pm) at MMA Room in Butchart Centre!

We are aware that this session clashes with our Thursday 8pm Yoga classes, but we still wanted to provide an opportunity to try out Calisthenics to see how you might like it.

Some 🐍, 🐊, 🦗 and 🐬 Cheers @charcoal.yoga for the awesome class! We practiced a lot of backbends today, to counteract the effects of sitting at a desk so many hours every day. We also worked on some drills to strengthen the shoulders and the core, so that we can get real strong for these arm balances and inversions 🤸🏻‍♀️ (can you spot Oliver's headstand in the mirror at the end of the video? so impressive!)
