Park Yoga has officially ended for the season, after between 60 and 70 people gathered in the King George V Park each Sunday morning this summer to enjoy an hour of stretching, movement and relaxation together.
The free weekly sessions ran from 4th May until the final session on Sunday 14th September.
Yoga instructor Hannah Blueitt said, “It’s been really busy this year and the weather was on our side. I had some lovely feedback and the sessions have built a really nice community together.”
This year’s sessions followed the first successful season last year. Hannah said, “It was nice to see lots of familiar faces this year but we’ve also had so many new people join this year too. There have been people who started it and have been there every week; there were a few people who had only missed one session, it was really nice.”
Park Yoga is a charity with over 50 venues across the country. “The donations this year were also great,” said Hannah. “A lot of work goes on behind the scenes in the Park Yoga charity, so the donations make a huge difference. I think only about three people run it.”
With only two sessions affected by rain, Hannah said, “The second to last session we had to call off because the heavens just opened. We have had some warm weekends; there’s not much shade in our park but we were able to move to the side of the park where people could in the shade if they wanted to be.”
Melksham’s Park Yoga is organised by Melksham Town Council and Wiltshire and Swindon Sport (WASP).
