For the time being our sessions are being delivered online. In this way, we are continuing to reach those in our community who need to connect and interact through movement.

Movement In Mind

Movement In Mind is our community programme

It offers a broad range of sessions for mental and physical wellbeing, but more than that it offers a sense of connection and support.

Participants are referred through social prescription link workers and community organisations.

our clients say:

Thank you for the event I attended this afternoon. It had all the right ingredients gentle movement, fun and laughter it was a great afternoon. I don’t think I have enjoyed myself so much in quite a while. I hope you are able to carry on because this has become such an important part of my life. It gets me out of isolation and offers company and stimulation while at the same time moving myself at such a gentle pace that the whole body is given the right level of movement and workout.

Tai Chi participant

Being with others in a similar situation is so important as we all have an understanding of each other and help each other in the dance therapy sessions.

Parkinson's Carer

It’s great to feel included in the class and yet at the same time feel that there is an approach which means that I feel I can achieve at my own level.

online Qi Gong Participant

.. it has really helped in balance, coordination, core strength ...

online Qi Gong participant

I was feeling down the other week from work stress and didn’t think that I wanted to go to my usual dance moves class. I am so glad that I did because I forgot all about work and was totally immersed in the dance, the music, the laughter and the camaraderie that exists in the group.

Dance & Movement participant

I have forged new friendships through this group and it has certainly boosted my self-confidence which had taken a battering through bereavement and stress

Dance & Movement Participant

For me, as a partner and carer, I get support, I don’t feel isolated and the sessions do me a lot of good as well.

Parkinson's Carer

Sometimes I go to a session feeling very weak and off-balance but by the end of the session I feel stronger and relaxed

Parkinson's participant

In a short space of time I feel that my core strength has improved and my arms and legs are stronger and more flexible at all the joints.

online Qi Gong participant

There is a noticeable difference in people with Parkinson’s after an hour of PD Moves. Balance, co-ordination and confidence is improved.

Parkinson's Carer

Before ‘attending’ my virtual class I wasn’t sure that Qi Gong was for me. I’ve discovered it’s actually for everyone. I take something different away from each session.

online Qi Gong participant

It gives me half an hour in the day to really focus, without any pressure or judgement.

online Qi Gong participant

I now have an understanding and affection for my body that I never had before.

DMP client

I’ve also noticed that having to think about my breath as well as the movements has improved my concentration and my balance.

online Qi Gong participant

I have been surprised at how quickly I have felt the benefits of Qi Gong. When doing the exercises I can feel my joints moving more completely and yet, because it’s gentle movement that’s under my control, I’m not anxious about injuring myself.

online Qi Gong participant

Not only does my dance/movement group help me physically by keeping me flexible, it also helps me feel better mentally

Dance & Movement Participant

I’m really enjoying the Qi Gong. I can’t believe how much my breathing has improved.

online Qi Gong participant

I’m a newcomer to Qi Gong, having only attended a few online classes. I’m 75 and staying mobile is very important to me for my physical, mental and emotional wellbeing – especially in the current circumstances.

online Qi Gong participant

The movements work with the breath and I can feel all the little muscles around and between my ribs being worked, as well as my diaphragm. That strengthening of my breathing muscles has to be particularly good whilst Covid-19 is around.

online Qi Gong participant

I used to rationalise my problems away, thinking I’d dealt with them, unaware that they were being stored as tension in my body. Now I know better and with DMP, I have a way of addressing them fully.
