    Introduction

    If you’d like to relax, de-stress and reset during the working week, why not join our free, weekly, staff yoga session? It’s a great way to stretch, recharge and support your flexibility, mobility and wellbeing.

    About the session

    Our weekly yoga session is available to all staff and suitable for all levels, including complete beginners.

    The session takes place every Wednesday lunchtime from 12noon to 12.45pm in the Ceremony Room at the Treasure House, Beverley.

    You need to book on to the session each week and are advised to arrive no later than 11.55am to allow time to find a space for your yoga mat and settle in. The door will be locked at 12noon to make sure there are no distractions and to maintain a calm environment.

    Equipment

    All you need for the session is a yoga mat and suitable clothing that allows for flexible movements. We recommend you bring your own yoga mat, but if you don’t have one, we have a limited number available to borrow.

    Borrow a yoga mat

    Yoga mats need to be reserved when you book on to a session and:

    • signed in and out by a member of the active communities team
    • returned immediately after the class.
    Please note

    If you do not return a borrowed yoga mat straight after your session, you may not be able to book on to future sessions.
