It doesn’t matter if you haven’t enjoyed moving due to pain or fatigue for decades or are usually very active – these classes will help you to make moving feel safe, enjoyable, engaging and fulfilling.

En-Joy (Energy and the Joy Of You) is a whole body class with gentle stretching and mindful movement developed and run by physiotherapist Despoina Karargyri. All the exercises can be done from a chair.

This class is an hour long with pacing breaks.

If you are interested in this class you may also want to look for the other classes run by Despoina which you can find in the Active Zone Tent or on the Active Zone playlist here.

Hi! I’m Despoina, a physio from Greece with a special interest in pain who fears heights. This interest brought me to this wonderful country so I could study more about pain with the leading minds in the world and work alongside people of clinical excellence. Over the years I’ve joined specialist groups, led teams, joined the British Pain Society, got actively involved with the PPA (Pain Physiotherapy Association), work as the principal pain physio of my team but most of all I discovered working with pain is not about limiting yourself, it is about opening yourself to all possibilities and life.
