Hey, morning folks! 👋
Right then Edinburgh. Chocolate has been eaten. Rest has been had. It's time to get moving!
Two minutes to get you Thriving. Let's go! 🌅
As a family, we had a busy weekend. Through to Fife on Saturday night to watch the Edinburgh Capitals lift the Scottish Cup and on Sunday we stopped by Morgan Playing Fields in Peffermill to watch the Edinburgh Rays vs Edinburgh Devils Baseball game.
So much good sport in the city and we are here for it!
Right. Enough chat, let’s get down to business.
This week’s Thriving Business 🏃
Every Monday, we share a local & independent Edinburgh business all about wellness, fitness and health.
🏃Access Parkour at The Pitt
🏃More Than Movement - Access Parkour
Forget what you think you know about parkour. This isn't rooftops and risky stunts. This is about learning to move with confidence, safety and joy.
Access Parkour is a Community Interest Company based in Edinburgh offering classes, camps, parties and school sessions for everyone from 5 years old to over 60! The whole idea is simple. Reconnect with your body, challenge yourself and feel good doing it.
Whether you've never jumped over anything in your life or you're looking for something completely different to shake up your fitness routine, Access Parkour will meet you exactly where you are. The community is warm, supportive and open to everyone.
Your physical and mental health will thank you for it. 🧡
