Lancaster Aikido Club

lancaster aikido club

5.0(4)

Lancaster Aikido Club is a not-for-profit martial arts club which has been teaching martial arts in Lancaster since 1976. We train in a friendly atmosphere, focusing on daily practice of Aikido as a pragmatic and functional martial art for self-defence, while endeavouring never to lose sight of its ultimate aim: the cultivation of human beings capable of sharing a peaceful world. Aikido is just as applicable to our daily lives, in our relationships with our family, communication with friends and work colleagues, and most importantly our relation with ourselves, as it is to a situation requiring self-defence. Training will develop you physically and mentally, but neither great strength nor high levels of fitness are required to begin. Wellbeing is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, and our goal is to assist in your development; providing encouragement, education, and emotional support throughout the collaborative learning process. Aikido 'toughens the body and polishes the spirit'. Aikido is available to all ages and many lifetime practitioners continue to train into their 70s or 80s. We have senior practitioners training regularly at Lancaster who did not begin training until their 40s. We are affiliated with the Aikikai Hombu Dojo (Japan) and a network of Dojos in Europe (Traditional Aikido Europe) through Lewis Bernaldo de Quiros (6th Dan) who serves as Technical Director and Examiner granting Aikikai dan ranks according to Hombu regulations.

Traumatic Birth Recovery

If you've had a traumatic birth or have symptoms of PTSD because of a difficult birth experience, we explain birth trauma, its symptoms & treatment.I am Alexandra Heath, Clinical Hypnotherapist (DipHyp since 2010, NCH registered), birth doula, founder of this website and creator of the book and training resources listed on this website. I believe that the parenting life stage is fraught with trauma, change and transition. As such it naturally is a time when emotional and mental wellbeing is often tested, strained and vulnerable. P1020162.jpg How we feel during pregnancy about transitioning into motherhood, how we birth and how we are cared for afterwards can all have seismic and long term effects on how we feel and how we parent. Problems with trauma symptoms, anxiety and depression are unsurprisingly common for parents navigating the choppy waters of fertility, pregnancy, birth, post natal recovery and the first year. I love supporting parents so that they can navigate these challenges and to go on and thrive with their families. I have worked with 100s of parents to lift the heavy feelings that can remain after a difficult or traumatic birth, or perinatal experience. This therapeutic process has proved so effective for parents that I have trained over 350 birth professionals in these skills since 2016. You can find a list of those practitioners here. I have practices in West London and also treat people via Zoom. Please click here to email and book a free consultation.

Human Values Foundation

London

We are an independent, non-denominational charity providing holistic values-related education programmes for teachers and schools. With over 25 years of experience, we share our knowledge and experience so as to promote better outcomes for young citizens, both academically and as empowered, happy, healthy individuals who feel capable of fulfilling their true potential, whatever their starting points in life. Not only have we been supplying practical, personal development and wellbeing programmes for a generation of learners aged from 4 to 14 but we also provide training in Values Education, an element in the school curriculum that is becoming increasingly significant as the topic of values becomes ever more mainstream and as the understanding of how values affect and impact people’s thinking, decision-making, actions and wellbeing grows. The intense focus on academic outcomes during the past two decades has been at the expense of many children’s mental health and wellbeing, and this has brought into focus the urgent need for a shift in education practices towards rounded, whole-child development. This approach has always been central to our work. There are few opportunities for teachers during their initial teacher training and continuing professional development to learn about the role of values in our day-to-day lives and to appreciate how they can be proactively used to nurture and empower individuals to progressively gain character strengths, social and emotional skills and personal qualities that are essential for their happiness, health and capacity to maximise their talents and abilities. This is the gap we fill.

ASDAN is an education charity and awarding organisation providing courses, accredited curriculum programmes and regulated qualifications to engage, elevate and empower young people aged 11 to 25 years in greatest need. We define young people in greatest need as those living in poverty, without support for their emotional and social needs, those with a special educational need or disability, those not engaged or succeeding in their education, who miss an English and/or Maths pass at 16 or subsequently, and who are at risk of becoming NEET. Our goal is to engage them through relevant and motivating courses to achieve meaningful learning outcomes, which elevate them to go on to further education, training and work, and empower them to take control of their lives. We do this by developing courses with an accessible and practical pedagogy for learners; and by working with our partner educators to foster the personal, social and work-related abilities of young people in greatest need. We know the development of personal, social and work-related abilities is vital for learners of all abilities because: strengthening these abilities supports academic and vocational learning they are particularly effective in re-engaging young people in greatest need they are important for accessing knowledge and skills at work they are especially important for entry level work they equip learners to live well and make full use of their abilities We believe that young people should have the opportunity to discover, develop and make use of their abilities to affirm their identities, contribute to society, and challenge educational and social inequalities.
