Chair Yoga

Yesterday we wrapped up our final chair yoga session for the year with the amazing Lisa. We had so much fun trying out different poses like the rock, tree, and mountain, plus many more. To test our coordination, we passed a squashie toy to each other using only our feet, which had us all giggling!

We ended the session with a soothing stretch, played relaxing music, and focused on some calming northern lights on the ceiling to wind down. These six sessions have been fantastic, and we’ve loved learning new things with Lisa. See you in the New Year, Lisa, and thank you for everything.

Halloween Yoga

Yesterday our members and volunteers had a Halloween-themed yoga session that was full of thrills and chills! We each took turns pulling a Trick or Treat from the bag, challenging us to spooky poses like:

Spider, witch on her broom, bat, ghost, and crow.

We ended this spooktacular session with a calming focus on a flickering candle, paired with relaxing music. Not only did we get a good stretch and laugh, but we also found some zen. Thank you, Lisa, for such a fun session; can’t wait for next week!

Yoga With Lisa

We had a wonderful afternoon at our yoga session yesterday! We stretched, relaxed, and even used tennis balls to give our muscles a gentle massage! The benefits of yoga are endless — improved flexibility, stress relief, and a stronger mind-body connection! Big thank you to Lisa for guiding us through a fab session! We’re already excited to see you next week to try out some new poses. Can’t wait to stretch it out again!

Chair Yoga with Lisa

Yesterday afternoon was our second session of chair yoga with the lovely Lisa Harwood, funded by the Gwent Regional Partnership Regional Integration Fund. This week, we focused on stretching exercises and used blocks to test our posture and balance. Everyone enjoyed the session and felt super relaxed afterwards. We look forward to seeing you all next week!

Chair Yoga Sessions

Yesterday afternoon, Caerphilly People First members and volunteers took part in our first chair yoga session! We practiced tree pose stretches, the cat and cow, and listened to relaxing music. We also did some stretching using chiffon scarves, making it a soothing and fun experience for everyone. Thanks, Lisa! See you next week. Everyone enjoyed the session and felt so relaxed afterward!
