In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing challenges of the cost-of-living crisis, it became increasingly evident to the Garthamlock, Craigend, and Gartloch Community Council that addressing mental health concerns was of utmost importance. As a result, the council took a proactive step towards supporting residents by funding a series of mat-based yoga sessions. In collaboration with YoGlasgow, a local yoga provider, these sessions aimed to improve the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of the community members. Best of all, these sessions were offered free of charge over an 8-week period throughout May – July 2023.
