Health, Wellbeing & Spirituality at The Monastery

Imagine a place where you change the moment you walk through the door. Instead of checking in your coat, you hang up your troubles and let go of everyday concerns. A place to learn how to live. A place to find yourself. It’s a special place for ordinary people.

This former Franciscan church and friary has been deconsecrated but its sacred atmosphere still remains. The peaceful healing energy and the beauty of this space now welcomes everyone from all backgrounds, faiths and beliefs.

Visitors remark that every space in The Monastery appears to be blessed with a feeling of well-being. It’s so real, you think you can touch it.

Similarly, every event and every programme of participation and learning adopts the same high principles of well-being. Whoever you are, whatever you do, we extend a warm invitation to find yourself at the Monastery soon.

Yoga For Everyone Every Sunday at the Monastery

We are delighted to be working with Manchester Yoga Social Enterprise Society and their qualified yoga teachers to offer this weekly class to all of our visitors.

Dru yoga is a way of moving which is based on soft, flowing movements, controlled breathing and visualisation. It is both a graceful form of exercise and a potent means of stress relief. With its foundations firmly set in ancient yogic tradition, Dru is a style that has been passed down through the generations. It works on both the body and the mind, rejuvenating the soul, strengthening core stability and building a heightened sense feeling of positivity and empowerment.

The class will include some gentle activation, an energy block release sequence,some posture work and a guided relaxation. Bring your own mat or use one of ours. We use adaptations of our movements so they are suitable for beginners, children, older people and those with disabilities. Less active participants can take part in chair yoga.

This class at the Monastery is also suitable for experienced yogis - come and try something different.

As of 8th August class will start at 12:00noon until 1:00pm.

Sundays
1:00pm to 2:00pm*

*From August 8th
