Pop In Place Movement to Music Classes
The classes will take a holistic approach to wellbeing. They are primarily designed
to promote physical health by helping people of all ages and abilities stay or get
more active, improve overall fitness, muscle strength and joint flexibility using a
combination of chair based exercises and dance/gentle aerobics based
ones. Over time I will be creating some simple routines for some of the exercises
as this can help with cognitive functioning. All the exercises will be to music to
promote mental health and well-being and where possible, movements can be
adapted, so that people with movement limitations can still join in. There is also no
pressure on anyone to do all the exercises and if anyone wants to sit out any of
them they will be very welcome. The classes will be in a friendly relaxed
atmosphere where everybody will be made very welcome.
The classes are 45 minutes in duration and will be held every Monday from 11am-
11:45 at the Village Hall.
