We hold Yoga Sessions for parents and carers
Who are the Sessions for?
Appeer Yoga Sessions are for autistic girls attending our Monthly Teen Group and/or their parents/carers. The Sessions are also for autistic women.
What will happen in each Session and how long will the Sessions be?
The Sessions will be a gentle introduction to yoga for those who are beginners. Our Yoga Sessions are suitable for all abilities. Yoga postures focus on gentle stretches and moving with our breath to allow the body and mind to shift into the restful part of the nervous system. The Session will end with relaxation and breathing techniques to help us feel calm and rested. The purpose of yoga is to support the body and mind, the intention is to do only what makes you feel comfortable. Any body shape and fitness level can access yoga and qigong - it is about nurturing our well being and stilling our mind.
Where will the Sessions be held?
This Session will run alongside, but separate from our Appeer Teen Group, which is held each month at a school in Woking. The Yoga may take place in a separate building to the Teen Group. You will be sent joining instructions after you have booked.
