360mindbodysoul was born overnight, just before the UK went into lockdown in March 2020. It was a venture designed to connect people, build community, create work for great instructors whilst keeping people fit and well, both physically and mentally, as we navigated a tricky time. With the pandemic looming large in early March, I had a conversation with my own personal trainer Ross Cooper, and invited him to work with me on the idea. We created an outline of a plan and then we launched our live classes on March 16th. Lockdown began March 20th. It connected friends and families around the world in Yoga classes, offered the chance for people to try new things like Mindfulness, a solid timetable of physical activity to help build routine and have a great deal of fun. By the end of March, both Ross and myself had developed Covid which was a turning point in both our lives.
Sept 2020 saw the introduction of Covid specific classes on our timetable as both Ross and myself have been affected by Long Covid. This has now been developed into a 10 class, weekly programme offering a lifeline for those stuck at home with chronic illness. The Rest, Repair, Recover programme is now recommended by Cardiologists, Doctors, OT's, Nurses and more. We have met some of the most fantastic people and now, It's one of the most amazing things we have ever been a part of. We hope to keep 360mindbodysoul running long into the future :)
