Zoom online exercise

Regular members of our Movement for the Mind and other community groups are being invited to join in at home via the magic of Zoom online sessions. It's lots of fun, a great way to keep up exercising together - and to see some familiar friendly faces. The sessions are held at the same time of the week that the group would normally meet. 

Weekly sessions 

If you normally come to one of our groups and would like an invitation to join us via Zoom please email Sarah Marriott (Don't worry if you haven't used Zoom before - we can help you get started).
