Thank you to everyone who came and took part and supported us at the weekend with our treasure hunt. So far we have raised £375.45. Some of you asked for a link to the donation page. Please see below the link for Unicef who are doing great work to support the families in danger and or displaced by the war in Ukraine.

You can help us reach more children affected by the crisis in Ukraine. Please donate today and help keep children safe in Ukraine.

Happy International Women's Day. This year let's think about all the women who are just surviving in the various war torn countries, doing their best to get through each day, keep their families safe, and can only hope for better times.

We have been discussing with a few of our members the benefits of stretching!! Where would we be in relation to our goals if we made the time to stretch daily?!?

Where could we be as a society if we all made time for the practice?!?

Which stretches are useful in helping you feel fit, manage injuries or prepare for performance!!

FIGURE 4 STRETCH

• Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor.
• Cross your right ankle over your left knee and keep your right foot flexed.
• Bring your left knee toward your chest. Reach your right hand through your legs and interlace your fingers just below the crease of your left knee.
• Using your arms, pull your left knee toward your chest, pausing when you feel a stretch in your right glute and hip.
• Hold there for at least five breaths (though you can hold the stretch for up to two minutes) then release and repeat on your left side.


90/90 STRETCH
• Sit on the floor and bend one leg in front of your body with your hip rotated out. Position it so your lower leg and knee are resting on the ground. Your leg should form a 90-degree angle, and your ankle should be neutral so your foot is pointing straight.
• Position your other leg beside you with your hip rotated inward and your shin and ankle on the ground. Bend your knee so your leg forms a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should be in line with your hip, and your ankle should be neutral.
• Try to keep your back straight and resist the urge to bend to one side. Think about sitting into both hips equally and easing the lifted hip straight down toward the ground.


BUTTERFLY STRETCH

• Sit on the floor with the soles of your feet pressing into each other.
• To deepen the intensity, move your feet closer in toward your hips.
• Elongate and straighten your spine, tucking your chin in toward your chest.
• With each inhale, lengthen your spine and feel the line of energy extending out through the top of your head.
•With each exhale, fall heavy into the floor and relax or sink a bit more deeply into the stretch.
•Hold this position for the recommended time.

Keep Flexinggg!!!

Happy hump day!! Be kind to yourself, and someone else (if they deserve it) but also to your body!

How are you going to look after your physical health the 2nd half of the week??
It might be a class (new timetable is up now on our website) a workout, or a session of loosening up with some stretches!

Whatever you choose your body will likely thank you for this after!
