Yoga for 2016
Happy New Year! Yoga’s back on from Monday 11 Jan, 7:15 to 8:15 pm. No planned outages this month. I hope you all had a great Christmas and Hogmanay.

Yoga for Christmas: make a meal of it
Some people get excited about presents, or Love Actually, or going home to see the cat. Some get super excited about twinkly things and things in red and green and white. Some people look forward to seeing old friends, some even look forward to family. Everybody loves a bit of mulled wine. Most of all,Continue reading “Yoga for Christmas: make a meal of it”
