We want to hear your stories!
Here at Park Yoga, we love learning about how our weekly sessions have helped our participants.
We’ve previously chatted to some participants across England, who shared their experiences of what Park Yoga means to them.
Bob, 70, who lives with incurable blood cancer, said: “I do Park Yoga for my mental health; yes, physically I find it demanding, getting into some of the positions, but mentally, for that hour, you’re focused on the sounds, the blue skies, and our instructor’s soothing voice and all those good things and you can try to forget all that other stuff that’s going on in your life. So mentally it helps me.”
When searching for ways to support both her physical and mental wellbeing, Sarah, 40, turned to Park Yoga, which she has been attending for the past four years. Sarah credits yoga as “a vital coping tool” for her when dealing with pain from MALS.
She said, “Two years ago, when I was writing my MSc dissertation, my pain levels were so severe I had to lie on the floor in Sphinx pose just to read academic papers. Yoga helped me get through that.”
You can find the full stories of Bob, Sarah and many more on the Our Stories webpage.
