Supporting wellbeing during Blue Monday week – Movement is Medicine classes

News - 14 January 2026

With Blue Monday approaching on 19th January, we wanted to share an opportunity with you from our friends at Bright Emotions CIC, who deliver Movement is Medicine.

Bright Emotions CIC delivers Movement Is Medicine - a neuroscience-informed, music-led approach that supports nervous system regulation, stress release, and emotional wellbeing through gentle somatic awareness and free-flow, non-judgemental movement. This work is based on the understanding that stress does not resolve through thinking alone, but through felt experience, rhythm, and movement.

During Blue Monday week, starting on 19th January 2026, they are offering a range of accessible sessions, both online and in person:

 Movement Is Medicine – Online

• Monday 19th January | 7:00pm

• Friday 23rd January | 9:00am

• Minimum £3 donation

(Camera on or off — participants engage in whatever way feels safest.)

Movement Is Medicine – In Person

• Saturday 24th January | 11:00am–1:00pm
• Bedford Town Centre

• £10 per ticket

Sessions are supported by music (Afrobeats, Garage, House & Drum & Bass). No prior movement experience, motivation, or energy is needed - the music carries the movement.

All online and/or in person sessions can be booked via this link - MIM — Bright Emotions CIC
