Not writing. Not reading. This time. But dancing. I love these classes. Movement is medicine.

Btw Ian Waite & Natalie Lowe of Strictly fame & Mark Foster of swimming fame, started these classes all around the country.

Movement is medicine, not just for the body, but for the mind. 💃✨
This World Mental Health Day, we’re reminding ourselves that taking care of your mental wellbeing is just as important as staying physically fit. Dancing releases endorphins, shakes off stress, and brings us together in an amazing, supportive community.

Whether you’re stepping into class today to clear your head, lift your mood, or just have some fun, remember that you are doing something wonderful for your mind. 🧠❤️

How are you moving for your mind today? Let us know below!
