🧘 Wellbeing Tent Schedule

1:10-1:40

Tina Short (Pilates)

Hi, I’m Tina of Sportina! I help 40+ females & males to move their body in a way that helps them feel more mobile, stronger and supports them with everyday activities of daily living. I have helped dozens of people improve their mobility, body awareness, strength, balance and general knowledge of how the body works. I love the way the Pilates & Yoga compliment each other and as an added bonus they help the student perform ‘other’ types of exercise more mindfully & safely.

1:50-2:10

Vicki McCordall (Breathwork)

Vicki is a qualified breath coach and yoga teacher, trained in Oxygen Advantage techniques. She works with clients of all ages to improve wellbeing, reduce stress, and boost performance through breathing.

2:30-3:00

Grace Anson - yoga

I’m Grace Anson For me, becoming a Vinyassa yoga practitioner is a way of life and teaching is a vocation over a job or occupation. Vinyasa yoga is is meditation in motion. A flowing, fluid style of yoga where each pose is linked to the pose before and after, synchroning with the breath and releasing energy from the body which does not serve us in a positive manner. It can help improve flexibility and mobility, reduce stress and strengthen muscles.

3:10-3:40

Nikki (Bonsai Chi – Family Class)

A low-impact, whole body, gentle flowing exercise to refresh and calm the mind and body. The movements in Bonsai Chi are predominately based on the traditional karate style of Wado Ryu, and are practised as slow flowing movements. You will learn different drills, standing still, moving forwards, backwards and sideways. Our sessions are designed to help you improve your mindfulness and mental well-being. Gentle breathing exercises and continuous flowing motions allow you to develop an inner ‘chi’ and relax your mind, whilst re-energising your body.

3:50-4:10

Kelly Horton (Nutrition Talk)

Nutritionist & Lifestyle Therapist with a background as a dental hygienist "Having spent the last 25 years as a Dental Hygienist, I developed an interest in nutrition, specifically its impact on gum disease and oral health. This prompted me to gain a Master's Degree in Nutritional & Lifestyle Therapy. I’m far from perfect and understand the challenges of juggling work, family and social commitments whilst trying to follow a healthy lifestyle. But small changes can reap big rewards, contributing towards a happier, more content life ahead.
