Two former nurses from North Tyneside are bending over backwards to promote the importance of wellbeing to the local community by offering a night out with a difference!
Yoga Hens based in West Allotment has launched North Tyneside’s first Wellbeing 4 All Conference, giving attendees the chance to meet and hear inspirational speakers sharing innovative ideas, thought provoking activities and personal stories to inspire.
Yoga Hens’ ethos is inclusion for ALL Bodies and founders Stacey and Angela have already created a storm within the local community with their ‘real yoga for real bodies’ sessions. The nursing duo are now aiming for new heights with their alternative Saturday ‘night out’!
Hoping to change perspectives on what it means to be well, how to overcome illness against all odds and to encourage us to reconnect as a community in order to stay well; the Yoga Hens will also deliver a taster of their popular therapeutic coaching, yoga and mindfulness activities on the night.
The wellbeing consultancy business, which runs yoga and mindfulness wellbeing sessions from its studio in West Allotment has lined up speakers from various backgrounds including the very entertaining author ‘Psycho Syd’, who’s incredible story displays that even Stage 4 cancer can be overcome with the right mindset.
The sessions which are delivered by Yoga Hens founders, former nurses Stacey Richardson and Angela Yildiz, have been designed to encourage the community to participate in physical activity whilst teaching them mindfulness and breathing techniques to help them learn to relax and connect with their own bodies and minds.
In a world full of chaos, stress & information overload Yoga Hens aim to offer an original multi-sensory wellbeing experience, which is specifically designed to challenge & change perceptions.
Stacey explains ”In wellbeing we find common ground, a universal experience where we can connect. Yoga Hens Ltd was founded after as nurses we encountered our own physical and mental health difficulties and sought more yoga to reduce stress and aid wellbeing. During this we discovered the magic and power of yoga in the journey to recovery. Consequently, we decided to develop our understanding by training as yoga instructors so that we could pass the healing power of yoga on to others.”
Yoga is just one of the tools Stacey and Angela use to encourage businesses and individuals to become more aware of their mental health and general wellbeing. As well as delivering yoga, mindfulness and retreats to the general public, Yoga Hens have also worked with a range of organisations including the NHS, Asda and Women’s Aid to deliver bespoke sessions to improve the wellbeing of employees.
The qualified nursing duo have an extensive background in therapeutic intervention for mental health and general wellbeing and are fully equipped to deliver sessions which support those with additional needs, disabilities and mental health issues. The fun thought provoking sessions delivered by Yoga Hens are known to invigorate team away days and encourage staff to invest in themselves whilst supporting their colleagues. As explained by Angela ”We decided to offer nurseled wellbeing support to businesses to reduce workrelated stress/absences, improve staff retention and to increase productivity whilst improving team relations and morale. Our passion is in supporting others and our aim is to create accessible wellbeing support for All”.
Yoga Hens Ltd combines nursing skills with yoga, mindfulness & therapeutic coaching…to deliver unique holistic wellbeing support. There is a specific focus on ‘Wellbeing for ALL Bodies’ with a particular emphasis on bolstering mental health, reducing stress & developing resilience.
The Yoga Hens Wellbeing 4 All Conference takes place on Saturday 19th October 6:30pm at St Mary The Virgin Monkseaton and tickets can be booked via Yoga Hens.
