The next session follows a break and will be a high-intensity interval or HITT session, known as “yoga sculpt”, which also gets hearts pumping and muscles working.
Lunch is provided by Cleadon bistro Luci’s. The day is rounded off with a meditation and breathing session which will finish about 3pm.
There will be a 1980s soundtrack and participants are encouraged to come dressed in the fluorescent gym gear, leg warmers and tutus so beloved of the decade.

The Foundation of Light helps communities across the area.
Jemma Dowson, the foundation’s head of events said: “Every penny of fundraising helps us deliver our programmes.
“For instance, £2.50 a month can help us provide a safe, warm place, a hot drink and something to eat for those struggling to heat their homes, or £5 a month can help us support an adult to attend a week of activities to keep them warm and socially and physically active.
“Health and wellbeing have always been a priority of the Foundation, so Reds’ yoga day ties in nicely with one of our key aims.”
