Through gentle stretches, breathing techniques and mindful movement, you'll improve flexibility, balance and mobility while taking time to relax and connect with others in a welcoming environment.
Whether you're returning to exercise, looking for a gentler way to stay active or simply want to enjoy moving your body, Chair Yoga offers a supportive space where everyone is welcome.

This class takes place at The Range at Thoulstone Park.
When you arrive and enter the car park, you’ll see The Range, the L-shape building on your right next to Racquet Garden — it’s the old golf clubhouse for those who remember.
If you’re visiting The Bat Barn, continue up the road alongside The Range and you’ll find it on the left.
A calm and welcoming setting designed for movement, wellbeing, and connection. Surrounded by nature to help you fully switch off and focus on your practice.
