REGULATE COMMUNITY YOGA CLASSES
REGULATE COMMUNITY YOGA CLASSES LAND IN EXETER
Thanks to the support of the Exeter Chiefs Foundation across the 2022/2023 season we are able to launch REGULATE, which is our community initiative to run classes fully funded for Front Line Workers. Our first sessions launch in Exeter at ParkLife Heavitree.
* This program ran for 12 weeks and a wrap up event is now being planned to take feedback into future programs. Additional Programs are now being planned for late 2024 and 2025.

What is it and who is it for?
​
A free weekly class for Front Line Workers. Yoga for the Front Line (YFL) is host to these funded, job specific, inclusive classes, targeting the lived experience of stress for Front Line Workers.
These sessions introduce you to the movement of yoga and listening to your body so that you can manage:
How you recognise stress and tension in your body.
How you manage stress and tension in the body...
How you build resilience to the effects of stress to strengthen the body and the mind.
These tools can support you to listen and connect so that you can find space to breathe and let go of tension before it accumulates in ways that can be detrimental to your health and wellbeing.
We provide practical and effective tools you can take away that quickly release stress in the body, and that support you in your every day life.
