Edek's Doodle Chat

Edek’s Doodle Chat is a relaxed social group for everyone to doodle and chat.

A safe space to talk and listen. An opportunity to be social and prioritise well-being. A place to connect and build community.

We encourage you to bring along a creative activity that you’re working on. This could be anything from a colouring book to a painting, writing materials to collage stuff, or some air drying clay. BUT if you don't have anything, don't worry, there will be a range of materials and some inspiration if you would like some.

Yoga at Left Bank

Wake up with our refreshed Wednesday morning yoga sessions with our new teacher, the lovely Rosie then treat yourself with a free hot drink to take away or drink in.

Originally from Northern Ireland, Rosie moved over to Leeds to study in 2008 and has been here ever since, so you can enjoy her hybrid northern-irish-yorkshire accent! She live in Burley with her partner, Sarah, and their two cats!

Rosie has been practicing yoga for around 8 years now and finally decided to do her 200hrs yoga teacher training at the start of 2022.
