STRETCH & SHINE

Build strength, resilience and improve flexibility and balance. We start the class lying down with slow somatic movements to open and relax the body. We slowly move to kneeling and eventually come to stand where we explore more challenging standing poses and flow. Returning to the ground for final relaxation, this class provides an opportunity to focus on moving from within. It is suitable for those who are able to kneel, and get and down from the floor with ease.

MINDFUL MOVEMENT (Chair)
This fun and gentle slow-paced class is mainly chair-based with some standing and strengthening exercise. We start seated and move through a series of stretches to warm and open the body, before moving into some stronger standing based work to strengthen the body and gently challenge balance. Suitable for those with limited mobility and joint issues.

MINDFUL MOVEMENT (Ludlow)
A gentle slow-paced class suitable for seniors who can kneel and feel comfortable getting up and down from the floor. Generally we start lying down and slowly move towards standing for some dynamic movement with balancing work, and then return back to the ground for slower, stiller poses to rest and integrate.

Testimonials

"A class with a heart"

I began with a certain amount of apprehension. Was the atmosphere going to be intense, never mind the movement!? However here I am a year later, part of a lovely friendly group of ladies. Sophie is a sympathetic teacher with warmth and a sense of humour. This makes the class accessible to everyone. She explains why and how we can move our bodies. It is fun, it can be challenging, but there is always a way!! Finally time to relax and be quiet. I am completely sold. I look forward Friday morning. I enjoy the companionship, the exercise and the sense of wellbeing. Thank you Sophie. Gill R

Sophie makes quietening the mind, stretching the body and relaxing, FUN! Linda J

I really enjoy Sophie's class of full body gentle stretching, relaxation and mindfulness. The class is gentle (not aerobic) exercise targeting different parts of the body throughout the block of the six week sessions and allows you to become relaxed, refreshed, and ready for the day ahead and I would thoroughly recommend it.

It's difficult to write all the benefits of one hour on a Friday morning. It certainly gets all the "bits" one doesn't usually use, moving! It encourages the dwindling concentration and makes one think about oneself for a change! Each week the classes are different. Janet J

I do feel I benefit from the hour on Fridays, spent with a friendly group in a relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time helping myself to stay as supple and as mobile as I can be. Avril M

Sophie’s Mindful Movement classes focus on exercises which explore how our bodies move in a deliberate and thoughtful way – excellent for not only improving physical strength and mobility but also for relaxing the mind. Sophie combines a gentle manner with an infectious sense of humour, injecting her classes with an element of fun. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone wishing to improve both their physical fitness and also their general sense of wellbeing. Maggie D
