Movement in the Gardens is a programme of professionally facilitated, gentle, nature-based physical activity sessions for people aged 50+, inspired by Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Breathwork. Sessions are designed for people over 50 who experience barriers to accessing traditional fitness spaces, supporting movement, wellbeing, and connection in our intentionally cared-for sanctuary green space.
In wet weather, sessions will move indoors to our Boilerhouse space. Each session is followed by optional tea and light refreshments, with time to relax, chat, and connect. All equipment is provided, we only as that participants bring water and wear comfortable clothing suitable for gentle activity, with layers for both outdoor and indoor sessions.
This programme is open to all genders aged 50+ who find participating in conventional exercise spaces challenging. Due to the priorities of the funding for this programme, we will prioritise participants with a Glasgow City postcode.
The second block begins on Thursday 6th August and finishes on Thursday 25th September. The sessions run 11am-12noon, with refreshments and chat following 12-12.30pm.
These sessions are free, but places are extremely limited. Participants are asked to sign up for the full 8-week block (8 sessions).
Please complete the registration form and we will arrange an introductory phonecall with all participants.
If you are offered a place we will ask for further health and wellness information to ensure your safety.
Participation for the first block is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
