Cathy’s Chair Yoga at the Hub

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring some water.

This is a gentle form of yoga suitable for all abilities and particularly beneficial for anyone who has limited mobility. It can also be a great way to take your yoga practice into the workplace to keep you mobile and to help reduce aches and pains. Sessions are open to anyone - this is the only mixed class that I offer so dads, mums, grannies, grandads, brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, sons and daughters are all welcome.

Yoga stretches are done either sitting on an upright chair or standing and holding on to the back of the chair. Sometimes a scarf or cushion might be used as an additional aid.

The sessions start with breathing awareness, joint release (warm up), gentle stretches and a short relaxation to finish. Many postures will be repeated each week to give you confidence and build up the muscle memory to be able to practice between sessions if you wish to do so.

Chair Yoga can help promote mental and physical balance and a feeling of calm vitality. This could be the key to a stress free and healthy new you. Through its known effects on the neuroendocrine system yoga helps stabilise hormonal levels and creates new foundations for emotional stability in addition to physical benefits including improved blood circulation, postural alignment. muscle tone and balance. Practices are easy to follow and suitable for all ages, from beginners to the most experienced yoga practitioners. Recent research shows that anxiety and back pain respond well to simple yoga exercise programmes and as an experienced practitioner I am able to tailor these yoga practices to meet individual needs.

For women of all ages you might be interested in Well Woman Yoga either on a Monday evening 7.45pm-9.00pm or on a Friday morning from 9.15am-10.30am via Zoom or in person on a Tuesday morning 9.30am-10.45am or Wednesday evening 6.00pm-7.15pm - both in Bromham

Chair Yoga is also offered online via Zoom on a Friday morning at 11am so if you are unable to attend the in person class you can join us online instead.

JOHN CHANDLER - A CLOSER LOOK AT CHIPPENHAM

John has pursued a varied career in local history, including running the Hobnob Press, through which he has authored many books. Since 2011 he has also written and edited for the Victoria County History series in both Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Now that the Victoria History has completed and published its decade-long research into one of Wiltshire’s largest and most successful towns, John reflects on some of the more intriguing and unnoticed aspects of Chippenham’s layout, buildings and suburbs, and on the historian’s task of using the documentary record to encourage local residents to observe their familiar streetscapes with renewed interest and enthusiasm. 

SUZANNE KEENE – Oriel Cottage, Salisbury: Timber and Text

Suzanne is a Reader Emeritus at University College London. She has worked in archaeology and museums for 36 years, and thereafter in UCL directing Museum Studies. She has been the hon. chair of the Campaign to Protect Rural England South Wiltshire Group. Oriel Cottage really is a hidden treasure - the oldest part is about 1450-1475, but it’s invisible from Castle Street due to the Georgian rebuild of the frontage. “Since I became the current owner in 2022 I have been irresistibly drawn to learning about its history. Was the house a small open hall in its earliest form, as some structural evidence suggests? Not all experts concur with this. Now records in the translated Salisbury Domesday Books suggest some of the 15 th  century ownership. I’ll look forward to discussion and challenges”.

STEVE HOBBS – Westbury: Town and Borough

Steve is a retired archivist who divided his working life between Cornwall, Somerset, finally spending the last 30 years in Wiltshire. He has written and lectured on local history subjects and is the editor of two volumes for the Wiltshire Record Society. Resident in Westbury, Steve takes a special interest in the town, and his talk will take us through its history from the 16 th to the 19 th centuries, looking at both public and private buildings.

JAMES HOLDEN – Town Halls and Market Halls – a Fine Heritage

James has a long-term interest in building history. Since moving to Wiltshire in 2014 he has written three books for Wiltshire Buildings Record on gate lodges, non-conformist chapels, and public buildings. Town halls and market halls symbolise civic pride and are often amongst the most prominent and splendid of all town buildings, yet many struggle for purpose in the 21st century. James Holden describes their history and tells the often surprising stories of some of Wiltshire’s most intriguing examples, reflecting also on the challenges which now face them.

DOROTHY TREASURE - 1-3 Northgate St, Devizes – A tale of two fires

Dorothy is WBR’s principal buildings historian, with over 30 years’ experience in the study of vernacular buildings. She worked on National Trust’s Survey of Wessex estates and cut her teeth on farmsteads, mills and breweries in North Wilts. Earlier this year no.2 Northgate Street, Devizes was demolished after a disastrous fire. In watching this process we discovered some surprising evidence about the previous buildings on the site. A rare opportunity to also record the buildings on either side helped to complete this picture. This talk illustrates the fascinating discoveries made, and gives a closer look at these important town centre buildings.
