COMMUNITY MOVEMENT &
CO-WORKING

Rise Academy hosts a free monthly community session for yoga teachers, trainees and wellness practitioners in Macclesfield and across Cheshire - a relaxed space to move, connect and collaborate.

Taking place on the last Friday of every month (launching Friday 29 May, 2–4pm), each session begins with a short somatic movement practice before opening up into informal conversation, co-working and community time.

Whether you drop in for the movement, stay for the collaboration, or simply want to be around like-minded people — you're welcome.

There's no agenda, no obligation and no cost. Just good people, a shared practice and a cup of tea.

What to expect:

  • A short somatic movement practice to open the session

  • Informal conversation and community time

  • Space to co-work, float ideas or get feedback from peers

  • A welcoming environment for teachers at all stages — newly qualified, in training, or long established
