West Swindon arts and education venue Lower Shaw Far, will host a yoga and massage weekend from Friday to Sunday 28 to 30 March.​

Suitable for beginners and more experienced practitioners of yoga, classes will focus on postures to improve flexibility, strength, and balance taught in the Iyengar style, and will be conducted by Mary Mcinerney and Mary Maguire.

There will also be sessions on giving and receiving a relaxing and toning massage. Group size is set at about 12.

A member of the Lower Shaw Farm team said: "On Saturday there will be an early morning Pranayama (breath control) class, then following breakfast, a one-and-a-half-hour asana (postures) class, and a massage class.

"After lunch the options are to relax at the farm, use the super rustic sauna, or go on a led walk in the local area. In the late afternoon there is a restorative asana session, and a massage class.

"In the evening there will be either a guided meditation, or foot baths, or time for a sauna, or to relax around the wood burning stove, or campfire.

"On Sunday morning, the programme will be the same as Saturday’s, with a late lunch. Departures during the afternoon, from about 2.30pm."

The weekend is priced at £219 (Veranda Room) and £237 (House Room or Garden Cabin), and full details of this and other Lower Shaw Farm events can be found at
