Wellbeing in Midlothian

We will be adding two new strength & balance classes to our programme in May 2026.

Thursday 09:30 - 10:15 at Newbattle Community Campus

Thursday 11:00 - 11:45 at Danderhall Community Hub

Classes are free and open to those who need to improve their balance and strength as they grow older.  Participants must be able to self-mobilise and follow instruction.

Both sessions start on 14 May 2026.

Information coming soon.

The Trek will take place on Wednesday 27 May 2026.

A gentle session for movement, balance and mobility, suitable for those looking to maintain and improve balance and improve mobility in later years. These sessions are more relaxed than traditional Tai Chi/Shibashi sessions and suitable for beginners.

Participants should be able to self mobilise and take instruction to attend the sessions.

Sessions cost £2:

• Newbattle Community Campus, Sundays 10:15 - 10:45
• The Penicuik Centre - Wednesdays 13:00 - 13:45  (not on last Wednesday of every month)

More Shibashi sessions will follow at other venues in the near future.

This is a new addition to our 'Best Step Forward' programme currently running Strength & Balance sessions, Health Walks and Falls Prevention sessions.
