Metafit is the ultimate heart-healthy exercise and is said to provide better protection against heart attacks compared to other slower, steady aerobic exercises such as jogging that are traditionally done for longer.

These classes are aimed especially for the over 60’s. Fully qualified instructors will go through exercise routines at a slower pace taking into account mobility, injury and health issues.

Professor Richard Wiseman has carried out a large amount of research into the psychology of humour, happiness and illusion. In this session he will describe his search for the world’s funniest joke, explore what makes us laugh, and uncover why humour is so important in our everyday lives.

Join Steve inside or outside to learn the practice of Forest-Therapy (Forest-Bathing). Which seeks to connect, or reconnect, people to natural environments in order to enhance overall wellbeing. It is a chance to take time-out, slow down, and feel refreshed and rejuvenated by using our whole senses to observe and appreciate things in nature. You just need sight of natural things e.g. garden, trees, plants, birds…there’s no need to bring anything.

The need for self-awareness, resilience and self-compassion is more prominent than ever. At Mindless Academy, we regularly incorporate journaling and meditation into our daily routines, as well as into our programmes. They are tools proven to have positive effects on our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

These classes are aimed especially for the over 60’s. Fully qualified instructors will go through exercise routines at a slower pace taking into account mobility, injury and health issues.
