UPDATE: Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to:

Fully fund 2 places on a 10 week Trauma Centred Trauma Informed Yoga course (£150 each)

Fully fund 3 places on our Pain Workshop (£30 each)

And we will be able to provide yoga sessions to the people in community alcohol detox over at CGL for at least the next two rounds, meaning many people will benefit from yoga during a critical turning point in their lives.

THANK YOU!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The Secret Space has been supporting people's health and well-being in Hertford for 11 years (as of September 7th 2024). So far this year we have provided around 400 free class spaces, 350 hours of free/subsidised holistic treatment and 50 course places to those in need.

We want to expand what we offer and who we can help, and so members of our staff team, as well as some of our amazing beneficiaries are taking on challenges through September to raise money for The Secret Space in Hertford. (You may notice each challenge is somehow linked to the number 11 due to The Secret Space turning 11 this month!)

What your donations will fund:

£15

buys 1 x class pass for someone in need

£120 pays for a place on the NHS approved 10 week Yoga4Health course for people living with chronic health risks/challenges

£150 buys a space on our 10 week TCTSY Trauma Sensitive Yoga course for those living with C-PTSD

Every little helps and will go directly to providing services to the local community to support their health and well-being.

Challenges being done:

Claire Sangster: 11 x 11 miles of cycling plus 111 Sun Salutations Challenge

Stewart McCarthy: 22 miles of swimming (English Channel Challenge)

Feedback from previous TCTSY participant:

"For me , who has been so detached from my body for so many years it has helped hugely with the reconnection and the joy of feeling sensations, stretches and moving again.

The feeling of safety within those 4 walls was amazing , I felt completed safe and unjudged and free.

I am now getting so much more from movement and I am noticing how it feels far more than I did and I am finding this to be a fabulous thing  .

The techniques I learned in this course will be part of my every day from now on."

Yoga4Health Feedback:

"I really enjoyed the little community that built up in the group. So supportive and friendly."

"The breathing techniques have helped with anxiety."

"Improved my movement and breathing."
