One modern phenomenon these days is that everyone's life is so busy. It's important to put aside some time to yourself - whether that is clearing a block of time to do nothing, or something that you enjoy. We have one-off workshops for people who are too busy to commit to a term class, and we offer health and wellbeing classes such as mindfulness and tai chi classes. See below for more details.
