Hello Naomi,
I'm not from anywhere near Manchester, but in terms of relaxation classes, I would most specifically recommend Yoga & Pilates. For the latter, I wouldn't recommend dynamic Pilates, which although is great, is not for relaxation! Lol
The level of relaxation and enjoyment that you will gain from these classes is largely dependent on the instructor & their approach, but most leisure centres will have classes of such types, with a range of instructors available. After a couple of classes with different instructors, you will just know which you prefer, & which works best for you.
Hope that helps a little.
Enjoy ��

Thankyou Robyn,
I was considering that myself, have done yoga before and it's probably what I'm going to end up taking part in again , was wondering if there were anything slightly more different out there that may work for me

You're welcome.
And yep, I know what you mean!
Also, here in London, we have a scheme called 'ourparks', which do free sessions in parks- I know that they also do a yoga class at some. Perhaps if there was an initiative near you in Manchester which did something like this, this may be a bit different since its situated outside, instead of in a boring studio.
They may not have anything like that near you, but just a thought if they did? Worth a browse on the net for sure, if they are free like ours too?
Hope you find something soon

How To Relax!
Naomi,
You ask about ways to relax and what kind of classes you could take to relax. I have never taken any classes to relax, but I know of something that has helped me relax and feel better about myself at the same time! This is doing volunteer work for a cause that you really admire. When I do the volunteering I can see how my help is making some people who need help feel better and this in turn makes me feel better about myself. When a person feels good about themselves they are going to feel much more relaxed than they would feel if they were bored doing nothing! :shake:

That's a good point! I've never tried Tai Chi, but I bet that would be very good for relaxation. If you find a class somewhere for it, & go, let me know how it goes & if it's any good!
And hopefully you don't get rained on
