FANCY A DIP?
Feel revitalised with a cool dip, enjoy time with like minded people, and warm up with a cuppa afterwards!
Join us to we explore some of the wonderful outdoor swimming spots in and around Birmingham.
Cold water swimming has many benefits including:
Mindfulness practice.
Increased immunity.
Decrease inflammation.
Boosting self esteem.
During the cooler and darker months it can be tricky to stay connected, motivated, and we may even find that our emotional / mental health suffers.
During Summer you may want to get outside and into nature, but not be sure what to do and who with!
Welcome to Yoga Borne Outdoor Swimming Group - a space for people to meet up, experience the healing power of nature, connection and community!
Wild swimming will also offer us the opportunity to cultivate body positivity, acceptance, and appreciation.
Essentially we will scout the locations (and would love to hear suggestions from you too).
We will then share the location / company / website / booking details with you to make your own booking and read any useful information for health and safety.
If the swim is not at a specially managed centre then it will of course be free to come along and no booking will be required.
We think the easiest way to do this is via our Yoga Borne Community WhatsApp Group managed by studio owner, Karine.
To receive the invite link to this group please drop a text message or WhatsApp to 07854313114 expressing your interest in the YB Outdoor Swimming Group.
Once you have been added to the group we will ask that you add a very brief intro. This helps us to get to know each other and also ensures that the group is managed safely, and used in mind of Yoga Borne as a small business and the community only.
The WhatsApp group is also a great space to arrange sharing lifts and ask any questions.
We advise that in Winter a full wetsuit is worn, and in Summer you might like to try a 1/2 wetsuit. We also advise that neoprene shoes should be worn all year round and neoprene gloves and a warm hat in Winter.
It would be wonderful to see you there!
