NORTHUMBRIA UNI classes at Sports Central
A range of 45 min Yoga classes that work ideally as rescue from office/Uni stress and as warm up and cool down before/after other forms of exercise. As classes are short the pace is relatively quick. Breathing and relaxation practices are always included but are obviously short to create a well balanced Yoga class.
Non members welcome. Bookings can be made by phoning reception desk on 0191 2156575 More info. on how to book and how to get there: www.northumbria.ac.uk.
