FREE outdoor yoga sessions are on offer at a Warwickshire country park during spring and summer.
Park Yoga sessions are taking place at Ryton Pools Country Park every Sunday from 9:30am to 10:30am until mid-September.
The instructor-led sessions are inclusive and suitable for all abilities. Everyone is invited, regardless of age, background or experience. Children are welcome when accompanied by a parent or carer.
The sessions have already generated a positive response locally.
One yoga enthusiast shared: “Beginning yoga was life-changing for me. I started practising for fun, thinking that I wouldn’t be flexible or calm enough, but quickly realised that you don’t need to be either.
“Yoga is the piece of the puzzle I didn’t know was missing. It supports not only my physical health, but my mental health too, and I’ve made connections that will stay with me for life.”
Another added: “Now that the weather is improving, I can’t think of anything more enriching than practising yoga in the beautiful local spaces we’re so lucky to have in Warwickshire, soaking up the sunshine and listening to the wildlife that surrounds us.”
Mark Ryder, Executive Director for Communities at Warwickshire County Council, said: “These free sessions are a fantastic way for people to enjoy the popular country park in a new way – supporting both physical and mental wellbeing while spending time outdoors.
“We hope they encourage even more people to visit, get active and connect with nature.”
No booking is required. Participants should bring a yoga mat or towel, along with sun cream, water, and a warm layer if required. Standard car parking charges apply.
