A charity wellbeing and fitness event is being held in the grounds of Ripon Cathedral today to bring the community together after the pandemic and raise funds for the city’s YMCA branch.
Participants will be able to take part in yoga, meditation, dance fitness and Clubbercise, which will be led by local personal trainers and fitness instructors, who have given up their time for free, as well as enjoy head massages from Head to Toe Healing.

Wellbeing Day for the YMCA will take place in the Dean’s Garden from 2-4pm and currently has more than 40 people signed up.
Louise Jones, who owns Oliver’s Pantry, on North Street, and is one of the organisers, said:
“We are holding it to raise funds and awareness, our objective was to have some fun and bring people together and to also help some of our local yoga and PT instructors promote what they do.
“Also from a mental health and wellbeing aspect, these activities really do help so many people locally. So it’s about feeling great, having some fun, coming together and simply seeing people together – knowing after lockdown many have struggled with coming back out in to normality.”
Four 30-minute sessions will be provided by:
Nicola Lymer – yoga (Exhale Fitness)
Frayah Humphries – Essential Yoga with Frayah
Hayley Anderson Fitness – Clubbercise
Edina – dance fitness (M-Unity)
