Mobilates For Referrers

Inclusive movement and self-management support for people with long-term conditions

Mobilites CIC is a not-for-profit, accessible exercise class provider in the UK.

 

We host fully interactive and inclusive exercise classes run by highly qualified instructors.

 

Our classes are a mixture of online and in-person Pilates, Qi-gong and Yoga fitness sessions for anyone experiencing a disability, long-term health condition, chronic pain or mobility issues. Our mission is simple - to create an inclusive, caring space that caters to everyone.

 

We want our members to enjoy the benefits of moving their bodies, and feel positive about what they can do.
