Yoga, Relaxation & Meditation Classes

As an additional enhancement and for something a little bit different, Peregrinate have hired the services of Paula Morgan who is the owner of Hatha Hands Yoga, Relaxation & Meditation Classes. Learners attended their first classes with a bit of trepidation as it was clearly a step into the unknown for most. Paula quickly had the students at ease and enjoying some gentle Yoga exercises with a relaxing meditation session at the start and at the end of each session. Learners were amazed at how relaxed and ‘chilled’ they all felt after each lesson. Peregrinate have agreed to employ Paula on a weekly basis and we are sure our learners will benefit greatly not just by increasing physical and mental health and strength but by the periods of relaxation and meditation.
