Remembering Han💙

Monday marked 8 years since we lost our gorgeous Han. A loving soul who touched so many lives, taken from us far too soon, but her light continues to shine in our hearts every single day.

Han will forever be remembered for her kindness, laughter, and the joy she brought to those around her. We are so grateful for the continued love and support from everyone over the past seven years, and as we enter 2026, we hold her memory close and cherish all the beautiful moments we shared.

She will always be deeply missed and forever loved ✨4.5.1994 - 22.12.2017✨💙

Next week is national grief week and we have been asked to host a yoga class, like the ones we do each week for those going through grief💙

Our lovely yogi Clare will be leading the session at Hazel Grove Library, next Tuesday 2nd at 11:30.
Spaces are limited but we’d love to see you there🧘🏼‍♀️

🍁 Finding Light as the Days Grow Darker 🍁

As we move deeper into autumn, the darker mornings and earlier nights can start to affect how we feel — especially if you’re coping with grief, bereavement, or struggling with your mental health.

The change in season can make us feel more tired, low, or disconnected. But gentle movement and connection can really help to lift our mood and bring calm back into our week.

🧘‍♀️ Join us every Thursday at Yoga on The Edge for a free yoga class with the Hannah Whitley Foundation — a safe, welcoming space to slow down, breathe, and take care of yourself.

No experience needed💛

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we want to remind anyone who may be struggling — you are not alone. 💚

At the Hannah Whitley Foundation, we believe that healing can take many forms. Through our free yoga sessions, we aim to help those suffering from mental and emotional distress find moments of calm, strength, and connection.

Whether you’re coping with loss, grief, or any kind of emotional struggle, yoga can offer a gentle path forward — a way to breathe, move, and begin to heal. 🕊️

If you or someone you know could benefit from this space of care and support, we welcome you to join us. 💜

The next one is this afternoon 2-4pm💛💛

💛 A space to talk, connect and remember 🌻

Grief can feel incredibly isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our Share, Talk and Remember group is here to offer a warm, welcoming environment where you can come together with others who understand what you're going through.

Whether you’d like to talk, listen or simply be with others who’ve experienced loss, this group is open to anyone who has lost a loved one.

📍 Held at our Sunflower Living Well Centre, Macclesfield, SK10 3DR:
🕑 2nd Friday of each month, 2–4pm
🌙 4th Wednesday of each month, 7–9pm
Our next STAR Group is Friday 11th July

If you or someone you know could benefit from this kind of support, we’d love to welcome you. No one should have to face grief on their own.
