Free Chair Yoga Starts This Monday! (Free Chair Yoga in Heston)
We’ve had a great response to the free chair yoga classes that Sefali is teaching for the Heston Wellness Centre.
Over 80 people have booked so far!
Classes begin on Monday 10th of March (12 PM – 1 PM) and will run until Thursday 17th of April.
We want this period to act as a trial run as this is our first attempt at running a non-profit organisation (it’s been a steep learning curve!). We’re already organising a second term due to the exceptionally high demand for the classes.
A big thank you to the Thriving Communities Fund for their grant of £1000 to help continue the classes. It looks like these classes could potentially be a regular ongoing thing!
If you want to join in, here are the details:
