Health and Well-being Sessions with Leisa Mererid

Health and wellbeing sessions for children and families were held at Denbigh, Prestatyn, Rhyl and Ruthin Libraries recently.

These were a combination of yoga, movement and song activities with the actor and author Leisa Mererid.

The families joined in an interactive creative session which was an introduction to the benefits of yoga, breathing and the enjoyment of singing. Leisa based the sessions on her picture and story book 'Y goeden ioga' with easy and energetic movements taking the children on a nature journey through the life cycle of plants and animals in the forest. It was an excellent opportunity for everyone to participate whatever their ability, experience or background.
