At Counselling Matters Bexley, we believe that mental and physical health go hand-in-hand. Our low-cost yoga sessions are designed to be more than just an exercise class; they are a weekly opportunity to hit the pause button, breathe, and reconnect with yourself in a supportive environment.
Our sessions are lead by Marie Roast and focus on gentle, mindful movement. You don’t need to be flexible or have any prior experience.
A Slow Pace: We focus on foundational poses that build strength and mobility without pressure.
Stress Relief: Each class incorporates breathing techniques designed to calm the nervous system.
Mindful Relaxation: We always end with a quiet period of relaxation (Savasana) to help you leave feeling refreshed and balanced.
We want you to feel as comfortable as possible. You don't need "pro" gear to join us!
Clothing: Wear stretchy, comfortable clothes (leggings, joggers, or a t-shirt).
Layers: We recommend bringing a hoodie or warm socks for the relaxation at the end of class.
Footwear: Yoga is usually done barefoot, but you are welcome to wear grip socks if you prefer.
Equipment: Please bring a yoga mat and a bottle of water.
