Are you worried about this too?

04/12/2025

Day 4 of my advent.

It’s grief awareness week and there is always so much to say but this what I was getting through for today. I hope it’s meant for you. And I hope it lands with the love it was delivered. And if it is not for you, do keep reading, there will be something on this page that you need, soon.

Today, can you bring through a memory or tradition that they loved. Can you say their name and let them fill the room around you with their love? And if you cannot, that’s okay. They will meet you where you are and so will we all.

Gently does it. Grief is an unknown entity we are not taught how to survive through. But we will. Together.

Are you stiff or achy? Do you want to increase your mobility?
I'm running a chair-based exercise class on Tuesday afternoons from 2.30 to 3.30pm in the Methodist church hall at the top of Mill Street, Great Torrington - which is fully accessible.

Book your place by calling me on 07789 020668

Do come and join us if you have mobility issues or find getting up & down from the floor difficult. It might also suit you if you're having to work around an injury or recovering from an operation.
You can do the whole class sitting on the chair or standing, using the chair as a support if necessary.

This gentle but effective class is for people with limited movement or fatigue, chronic conditions such as arthritis, stiffness, MS, weight issues, long covid, insomnia or stress.

You can benefit from: an increased range of movement, slow building of strength, a sense of relaxation and calmness, better sleep, increased confidence, better vitality and a sense of deep rest.

The class includes gentle movements, breath awareness, stretching and strengthening and finishes with a relaxing guided visualisation.

If you are keen to have a more flexible and stronger body and a more peaceful mind but struggle with floor based classes then this class is for you!
Each class costs £9 and you can pay in cash or by bank transfer on the day of the class.
