Mindful Movement

10-week yoga course in North Devon

We are delighted to be partnering with Elska Yoga to offer a brand-new wellbeing course in Bideford, starting in May. The beginner yoga course focuses on breathwork and movement and aims to help you let go of stress and tension, feel more settled in your body and mind, and support positive mental health and wellbeing.

 
 

Come along to find your calm, relax your mind and body with breathing and beautiful movement of the body. This beginner course is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in exploring yoga, looking for a new hobby to support their wellbeing, or wanting to meet new people and boost their confidence.

Course format:

Mindful Movement is a ten-week course consisting of 10 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. A member of the Devon Mind team will also be attending to offer additional support. Participants are recommended to wear loose comfortable clothing and to bring along a water bottle. Any equipment needed for the sessions will be provided. Each session costs £1 and registration and an upfront payment of £10 is required in order to join.

 

Please note: You do not have to be of any particular level of fitness to engage in this course. The floor-based sessions are aimed at beginners, will be low-impact and you will be encouraged to do what feels right for you.
