Thanks to everyone for attending our August meeting. It was good to see everyone and to meet two new members who joined us.
Yoga:
Our guest speaker was Becky, who is also a member of the Group. Becky is a qualified yoga and meditation teacher. She is currently training to be a cancer exercise specialist. Her aim is to help others pre and post-surgery to keep fit. She holds a yoga group class every Monday at 7.30pm in Glatton village hall. She also does a sound bath and meditation evening once a month 6.30pm- 8pm. She also offers one-to-one classes.
There are many different styles of yoga. She recommends restorative yoga or yin yoga, these two styles are more gentle when recovering/rehabilitating. It’s important to stretch and strengthen the muscles and bones. Becky took the Group through some yoga moves and ended with a relaxing guided meditation.
Becky also spoke about the Penny Brohn Charity. She attended one of their retreats. The Charity is based near Bristol. The Charity offers free one and three day retreats for cancer patients. Their website is https://pennybrohn.org.uk
