Pilates, pronounced “Puh-Lah-Tees”, takes its name from Joseph Pilates who was born in Germany in 1880.

Pilates believed mental and physical health were closely connected. His method was influenced by western forms of exercise, including gymnastics, boxing and Greco-Roman wrestling. He immigrated to the US in the 1920s and opened a studio in New York, where he taught his method – which he called Contrology – for several decades. Pilates mat-work classes are not only fun, they are designed to help you improve flexibility and strength. Small equipment such as bands, toning circles and balls are used during mat-work classes to help you achieve better movement patterns and provide you with more awareness of your body – and of course to challenge you! Our instructors cater to each individual, offering alternative movements if required so there is never a reason to feel worried about your ability.

Days and Times: Tuesday 12pm-12:45pm, Duration: 45 Minutes

Online Workshop and Group Descriptions

This workshop helps people to understand the cycle of anger and when certain types of anger become problematic.

During this workshop you will identify the causes of anger, the effects of anger on your health and your relationships and most importantly a variety of coping strategies to deal with anger. We help promote the use of self-awareness and self-reflection to aid anger management. Sometimes the simplest coping strategies are the most effective!

The workshop also promotes group participation and interaction with discussion points aimed to encourage participants to grasp a better understanding of the thoughts and patterns that surround anger.

This workshop is designed to explore and understand how autistic people experience the world, including the differences in perception, communication, and interaction compared to non-autistic individuals.

It will also provide insights into the challenges autistic people may face in a predominantly non-autistic society, as well as the strengths and unique perspectives they bring.

This workshop will run over a two-week period, split into two two-hour sessions. It will try to adjust your way of thinking about body-image and challenge the images of idealised bodies shown throughout the media that can negatively impact people’s perceptions of themselves.

The course aims to help you achieve:

  • An improved self-image
  • A more realistic approach to body-image

During the course we explore:

  • Body image and how it is affected
  • How external/internal factors influence how we think and feel
  • Body image in men and women
  • How to accept your body and not aspire to unrealistic ideals
  • How not everything in the media is as it seems
  • How body image affects mental health
  • Ways to overcome negative body image
  • How to build self-esteem and body positivity

This workshop aims to give you the ability to distinguish between helpful and unhelpful thinking patterns and how to manage negative emotions effectively. The hoped outcome is that you will become more self-aware, be able to regulate your emotions more effectively and to develop your social skills including empathy and understanding different perspectives.

Overall, the suggested tips and coping strategies should help you to start challenging your learnt behaviours; become more in tune with your emotions and in time build up your resilience.

This workshop promotes group participation and interaction with discussion points aimed to encourage participants to grasp a better understanding of emotional intelligence.

In this one-hour workshop, you will be given many ideas, inspirations, and encouragements to start living a more balanced lifestyle.

Achieving optimal health requires taking care of both your MIND and BODY.

We are going to look at what we should and shouldn’t be doing to bring BALANCE into our lives.

We all need to exercise, eat well, get enough sleep and practise self-care but to truly follow this way of life we must work out what methods suit us BEST.

This workshop looks at the key differences between low mood and depression and the psychological, physical, emotional, social and behavioural symptoms linked to both.

The main focus is looking at the many causes of depression and understanding them fully and the most effective coping strategies to help manage depression in daily life.

The workshop promotes group participation and interaction with discussion points aimed to encourage participants to grasp a better understanding of low mood and depression.

In this workshop, we explore the relationship between mental health and work, focusing on how to create a mentally healthy workplace and how to be supportive of colleagues while still looking after oneself.

This workshop is for those who would like to learn more about anxiety and panic.

We learn about different types of negative thinking patterns and share our own experiences of how we can relate to these.

We will explore different ideas on how we can turn negative reactions and thought patterns into positives by incorporating different healthy ways to wellbeing into our lives.

The Understanding Self-Harm Workshop is aimed at those wishing to increase their awareness of self harm and for those that wish to learn how to develop better coping strategies. The workshop looks at self harm facts and myths, how and why people may self harm and how to best manage and control urges.

The workshop promotes the use of cognitive coaching, self awareness and personal reflection. With discussion, participation in peer support group activities and exercises you will be able to explore how to incorporate what you learn into your daily life.

In this workshop you will discover what it is you want to work on in your life right now, then solidify it by setting intentions. We will also learn why affirmations work and practice them so you can use them in your daily routines.

This brand-new workshop will discuss what events, groups, and social activities are being run in our community, so we all have the knowledge to get out there and live our lives. Do come along to see what we have found and to also let others know where you have been or what you have heard is coming up.
