A relaxing way to exercise and mould your bodies without the need for a strenuous work out. classes last about 1 hour. Bring a mat if you have one [Ali does have a few spare if not]. You may also like to bring some water to drink. You only need to do what you are capable of, harder positions will become easier in time.

An exercise routine aimed at older people and those with mobility issues. If you don't like the idea of lying on a mat on the floor, then Chair Yoga is a good alternative. Same exercises, stretches, balance, and relaxation but seated on a chair. As always you work to your own ability. If it hurts then you are going too far. All movements must be within your capacity. Everyone will be working at different levels so don't think you're not doing it right because your moves are different to others. everyone is on a different path. please do the exercises mindfully and it will soon become natural. Enjoy the work out and the relaxation at the end. You will feel energised.

Throughout winter starting Weds1st October 2025 we will be opening the Parish Centre from 1pm until 3 pm on each Wednesday. This is part of our deal with Wigan Council. It has been really nice sitting talking with others and keeping them company so that they are not at home, alone in a cold environment. We make tea, coffee, toast, teacakes, cheese & ham toasties, cuppa soup and some of our attendees also bring cakes and biscuits to share. We colour pictures, sometimes craft, one lady paints. We do all this while chatting to each other. We may be coming to an end once April is over and we've really enjoyed meeting up, but we will be back next winter. There are only two of us organising this event and we do need to break for summer. It will be warm then and everyone will want to go out themselves.
