MyOTAS are delighted to offer yoga classes with Yoga Therapist Louise Anderson at Shotgate Community Hall, Wickford SS11 8QZ. There is a car park at the rear of the hall and on street parking outside.

The cost of each session is £6.50 for a joint mum/carer and daughter ticket. (If you are struggling financially please contact us, as there may be some free places available). 

Classes are limited to 8 young people plus a parent or carer. Joining in the sessions together can help you to both relax, bond and continue to practice the relaxation techniques together at home.

These are very relaxed, low pressure sessions, tailored to the needs of young people who are particularly struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation and may be feeling isolated from their peers. 

There is no need to wear any fancy yoga gear, leggings/joggers and a comfortable baggy top are perfectly fine. Whatever feels good for you. 

Mindfulness techniques help us to regulate breathing patterns, balance energy levels, remain calm, as well as relieving physical and emotional tension and giving a greater sense of control over the mind and body. 

Within 24 hours of booking your sessions we will email you a health questionnaire. Please check your email junk/spam folder and contact us if you do not receive it.

All equipment will be provided.

Please contact us, via email: info@myotas.org if you have any questions. Please add our email address to your contacts, to avoid our reply going into your spam/junk folder.
