Benefits of Gentle Exercise for Wellbeing

Gentle exercise is an excellent way to maintain physical health without putting strain on your body. These carefully designed movement sequences provide numerous benefits:

  • Improved joint mobility - Helps reduce stiffness and discomfort
  • Enhanced balance and stability - Reduces fall risk
  • Maintained muscle strength - Prevents age-related muscle loss
  • Better circulation - Promotes heart health and oxygen delivery
  • Mental wellbeing - Releases endorphins and reduces stress

Located in the historic Avebury House, these sessions provide a supportive environment where you can exercise at your own pace. The class caters to different ability levels, making it accessible whether you're new to exercise or looking to maintain your fitness in a gentle way.

Regular gentle exercise can help maintain independence and quality of life as we age. Even small movements contribute to overall health, and the social aspect of group classes provides motivation and community connection - something particularly valuable for wellbeing.

No special equipment or prior experience is needed - just wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear. Our sessions focus on movements you can incorporate into daily life, helping you stay active between classes.
