🌳 This Sunday is our final Park Yoga session of the season! 🧘‍♀️

I can’t quite believe how quickly time has gone by! We have spent an incredible summer breathing, stretching, and connecting. It would mean the absolute world to me to see as many of your lovely faces as possible for one last big celebration!

Showing up matters - this space only exists because of YOU. Every single time you unroll your mat, you breathe life into our community

You can help support our future - Park Yoga is a charity, and while the sessions are 100% free to attend, we rely entirely on kind donations to keep the sessions running and returning year after year. Thank you ever so much if you have been donating. If you have loved our Sunday mornings together, we would be deeply grateful for even a small, donation at the end of the session on Sunday or via this link 》 https://parkyoga.co/calne/

A few options to help which won't cost a penny - leave a review here on our page, invite your friends to follow the page & take a minute to complete our annual participant survey 》https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ParkYoga2026

See you for our final session of 2026 this Sunday!

💚 9:30 – 10:30AM

A huge thank you to Calne Town Council, WASP (Wiltshire & Swindon Sport) and Yogi Tea for helping make this all possible

Training to become a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter is such a worthwhile thing to do! I have learned so much and met so many incredible families along the way

We really need your support in the local community groups as well as on the hospital wards - whichever works best for you. Once qualified, a weekly support commitment is desired but you can absolutely work around the needs of yourself and your little ones. I began the training when my baby was around 6 months old

My suggestion to anyone thinking about becoming a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter is - Just go for it! 💗

🍂 Could you make a difference for local families? 🍂

We're looking for volunteers to train as Breastfeeding Peer Support Volunteers.

✅ Free 12-week online course
✅ Learn from home at a time that suits you
✅ Support new parents with your lived experience

💙 Your experience could help give another parent the confidence and support they need.

If you've breastfed or breastmilk fed for at least 6 months and can spare around 2 hours a week to support families on the wards, we'd love to hear from you.

📧 If you're interested, please contact your local maternity service:

• RUH Bath: [email protected]
• GWH: [email protected]
• SFT: [email protected]
