We love how Stephen Fry describes bipolar disorder. “It’s not who you are, it’s the weather around you”. Have a listen. 👂
Wishing everyone a lovely bank holiday weekend! Please note that there is a balance class on Monday morning in Braunton, but all other sessions are cancelled on Monday while our instructors enjoy the break.
We may not be as responsive as usual, as Anita is spending the weekend camping in a field near Chepstow, with some people who are very special to her. Shame the heatwave is ending.
Enjoy your weekend, whatever you choose to do.
Hello May! It's Naturally Healthy Month; a great time to get outside and enjoy being active.
Join us for a completely free Wellbeing Walk every Monday (no bank holidays - sorry). We meet on Barnstaple Square, outside the museum for an amble in to Rock Park. Join us for a cuppa in the Bike Shed afterwards.
If you would like to try Nordic Walking, we meet on Tuesday evenings at 6pm, outside St. Johns Community Centre (next to Rose Lane Tesco). £6 a session with poles provided and the walk tailored to the ability of all participants. Please do contact us to book, so that we can ensure we understand your needs and have poles for you. 07900041258, info@vistawellbeing.org.uk or message us here.
We are also delighted to offer a couple of amicable ambles from the Wednesday Wellbeing Cafe at Barnstaple Library on 28th May, in conjunction with One Barnsta#NaturallyHealthyMayhy#healthylifestyles#livewelle#communityunCommunity DevelopertOne BarnstapletActive DevondActive DevonDDevon County CounciluDevon Local Nature PartnershiprsBarnstaple Town Counciluncil
Monday morning walks are really good, and it is lovely seeing how the park changes with the seasons. The blossoms are out just now so every Monday is a pleasure. What a great way to start the week! 👍🌳🌸🌼🌞
Love our Monday morning walks and my Wednesday and Friday exercise classes, life would be very dull without them ❤️

Lighter evenings and better weather (we hope), means that we are bringing our inclusive Nordic Walking sessions to Tuesday evenings.
Come and join us for a walk that becomes a workout as you learn the technique that gives the poles the power to take pressure off of your knees and hips, engage your core muscles, tone the upper body and work your heart and lungs. Our walks are led by specialist instructors who are qualified to work with people living with, or wanting to prevent, a range of health conditions. We will lend you the poles, activities are tailored to the individuals in the group and nobody gets left behind.
£6 a session, meet outside St Johns Community Centre (next to Rose Lane Tesco) at 6pm.
Contact us for more info or to book - what a lovely way to spend an hour on a spring evening.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.Oh wow! Vista Wellbeing CIC so deserves this grant. You put so much energy and dedication to Vista Anita Griggs. Great news. Well done xx
