Our Regular Activities
CHAI Wellbeing Walking Group
For over 10 years, we’ve run seasonal walking groups, particularly in spring and summer. These walks are more than just exercise; they are a chance to practice outdoor mindfulness, explore local parks and green spaces, learn the benefits of regular walking, create memories and encourage family activity.
We also plan group challenges and exciting outdoor trips throughout the year.
Bollycise
Our indoor Bollycise classes bring the joy of Bollywood and Bhangra dance to CHAI! Held in the autumn and winter months, these fun-filled sessions offer a high-energy, culturally rich workout, guidance from a qualified instructor and a chance to move, laugh, and connect.
Other Fitness Activities
Thanks to our partnerships with ABL Health and other organisations, we’ve hosted a wide variety of instructor-led classes, such as:
🥊 Boxercise
🧘♀️ Yoga
⚽ Walking Football
🍵 Chai-based Wellness Workouts
Stay tuned—we bring these back as funding allows!
