Town's first wellbeing festival promotes healthy habits

Organiser Sally Langheim (R) says the two-day event is a chance for people to relax

A town is holding its first Wellbeing Festival to promote healthy habits for your mind and body.

There will be talks on stress relief, interactive workshops covering breathwork, dance flow meditation and mindful exercises.

The event at Swindon's Museum of the Great Western Railway, Wiltshire, is running on 8 - 9 February, between 09:30 to 17:30 GMT.

Event organiser Sally Langheim said the festival is an opportunity for people to "relax and experience healing".

Other sessions will explore how to overcome self-destructive beliefs, the connection between posture and mindset, and practical ways to improve mental wellbeing.

There will also be an opportunity to try a sound bath, which works on healing through vibrations.

Ms Langheim said the hour-long classes focus on relaxing your mind and emotions.

Sian Baxter, an alignment and breathwork coach, works in spiritual coaching with women.

She said people are "so busy rushing around all week with jobs and families".

"This is just a space to come and lay down and relax.

"It's not just your body, it's your mind and spirit… it's so powerful," she added.

Organisers hope the festival will inspire attendees to prioritise their wellbeing and explore new ways to improve their mental, emotional, and physical health.
