No, you do need to be able to sit on the floor and get back up again fairly easily, but this is a very gentle class focused on helping you to feel relaxed and calm and to help you learn techniques to manage anxiety.
Wear something you are comfortable stretching in, for example leggings, joggers or shorts and a t-shirt or vest top. We will be bare footed for the movement part of the class and can wear socks for the relaxation - so no need for trainers.
