Move, Breathe & Belong: Empowering women through movement, wellbeing and belonging.
Move, Breathe and Belong is a proposed 12-month community movement programme from Embody & Connect CIC, designed to help inactive women across North London become more active, improve their wellbeing and build meaningful social connections.
Created in response to conversations with women in our community, the programme addresses the barriers that often prevent women from being active, including cost, caring responsibilities, low confidence, poor mental wellbeing and concerns about exercising alone.
Through weekly inclusive dance, gentle yoga and breathwork sessions, monthly guided walks in local green spaces and a supportive peer community, participants will be encouraged to rediscover the joy of movement in a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment.
Every participant will also receive a home activity pack to help them stay active between sessions, while our WhatsApp community and volunteer-led walking groups will provide ongoing encouragement and connection beyond the programme.
Our vision is simple: to empower women to move more, feel stronger, improve their physical and mental wellbeing, and develop lasting friendships that support healthier, more active lives.
We are currently seeking funding to deliver Move, Breathe and Belong and look forward to bringing this programme to women across North London.
