A safe space to move, feel well and escape.
We offer help to members of the community that have a physical and/or mental difficulty and/or those feeling isolated, that prevents them from leading an active life. Most individuals participating in our projects will live in Hayle and the surrounding areas. Participants can self refer or be sign posted to the projects through support groups of the Community sector, Social prescribers and wellbeing coaches from the local GP surgeries, and those individuals that have been identified to me through my personal training and wellness coaching business and general discussions with members of the community as those who would benefit from such services.
Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on our mental health. It can help relieve stress, improve memory, help aid better sleep and boosts your overall mood. Focusing on physical training as a potential tool and coping strategy, to help improve both physical and mental health.

therapeutic movement, breathwork & relaxation
This 5-week course is facilitation by Lauren and offers movement, mindfulness and meditation resources and practices to support mind and body to find strength and balance.
With principles anchored in yoga philosophy, we approach movement gently and slowly in order to cultivate a nourishing and therapeutic practice. Breath awareness underpins movement which supports a more innate and authentic way of moving and all sessions end with a guided relaxation.
11.15am or 1.30pm Fridays, from Laurens lovely small group yoga studio situated in the Hayle Towans. £60 for 5 weeks, with accountability coaching with myself in between sessions.

PAST Project title ‘PAC, physical activity community’
PAC4MEN, Wednesday. Outdoor group training sessions for men with long term physical and/or mental health conditions. Bringing people together who are on a similar journey, to connect and work alongside each other, while being given permission to spend some time on their physical and emotional wellbeing. Using body weight exercises, resistance bands and light equipment, the participants can build a good strong relationship with their bodies as a tool to support their emotional health.
SOULRUN. Monday. Mixed gender running group, offering both beginner and progressive groups. Running with no pressure of time, pace or position. A good run or workout after a tough day can help quieten the internal dialogue and reduce feelings of despair, which in turn can make us more productive to use exercise as a coping strategy in times of increased stress.
CHAIR FITNESS. Group exercise class using resistance bands and body weight for those with limited mobility.
PACWALK. Walking group for those with limited mobility, addressing communication, movement and confidence.
These sessions offer a safe space to explore ’emotional release and connection through physical activity’.
