Buggy Buddies is a programme for expectant and new mothers who are over 6 weeks post-natal. Gentle exercises are done in a safe and controlled manner enabling participants to enjoy getting back into exercise while also having their baby with them. It is a mixture of exercises and walking with your baby. It also gives participants a chance to talk to other new mothers while exercising!

Fitsticks involve walking with activator / nordic poles which promote aerobic fitness, mobility, strength, and balance for people with different abilities and fitness levels. Use of the poles means upper body muscles are used as well as legs. The poles help to propel the walker along meaning you work harder than usual yet the support given by the poles makes it feel easier. Benefits include: better posture, strengthening of the core muscles and enhanced mobility of neck & shoulders.
The poles & yoga sessions are suited for all levels and abilities.
