A NEW series of exercise classes for people with arthritis starts in Helensburgh next month.

The seated yoga classes are suitable for most people and can help improve balance, stability and muscle strength and reduce pain and stiffness.

The next block of free classes, at Helensburgh Parish Church’s halls complex,

The Bridge, runs for six weeks, from Wednesday, March 8 until Wednesday, April 12. 

Each class runs for 30 minutes from 10.45-11.15am.

The classes are run by Scotland Versus Arthritis. To register email Livewell@versusarthritis.org or call 0141 954 7776.
