Over-55s Invited to Get Active at free Seated Yoga Class in Moray
Moray’s over 55’s are invited to attend a fun, free, and gentle Seated Yoga class at Spey Bay Hall on Tuesday September 9 at 2pm.
The free class is part of First Time for Everything,a community health and well-being programmedesigned by Royal Voluntary Service. First Time for Everything is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and gives people opportunities to try something new for free, to socialise and be active, particularly those that might be older or less mobile.
The class will be taught by local dance and yoga instructor, Sarah DaBell at Spey Bay Hall, Spey Road, Spey Bay, Fochabers, IV32 7PJ. There will also be some light refreshments afterwards. Participants are encouraged to please wear comfortable clothing and soft shoes.
Laura Chow, Head of Charities, People’s Postcode Lottery, said: “Being active, getting out and about and feeling part of the local community are important for health and wellbeing, no matter what our age, ability or circumstances. With generous support from players of People’s Postcode Lottery, 'First Time for Everything' brings local people together to try something new, to meet new people and have fun.”
To register for the Seated Yoga class or other First Time for Everything events, or for more information, contact Royal Voluntary Service activity coordinator, Sharon Finlay, by email: [email protected]. Booking for all events is essential as places are limited.
For those unable to get out and about to First Time for Everything activities in person, Royal Voluntary Service has designed the Virtual Village Hall. The Virtual Village Hall is a free, online activity hub and community that helps people stay physically and mentally active, socially connected and having fun. It helps people to better manage their health, including long-term health conditions. Supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, the Virtual Village Hall offers live online activity sessions every weekday on Facebook and YouTube, from exercise and dance, yoga and meditation to crafts, interesting speakers, creative writing and cooking. There’s an extensive archive on YouTube, too with more than 2,500 free activity sessions to try. It is free to join, and anyone can take part with no sign-in or subscription required. Where activities require equipment, ingredients or materials, these are low-cost and easy to source. To find and take part in the Virtual Village Hall, search @VirtualVillageHall.
