We have been established since 2020
• We aim to end the stigma of mental health, by offering inclusive, non-judgement wellness classes and support groups in a non-clinical setting
• Our main goal is to bridge the gap of the long waiting lists for mental health support by offering complimentary therapies, wellness classes, support groups and activities, such as Sauna and Cold water therapy.
• Our mission: To provide safe community spaces that support wellbeing of people that need it the most.
Why does it count now more than ever to offer these free services?

Local food banks have seen a 60% rise in demand over the past year, with more working families seeking support for the first time.
1 in 5 households are reported to be fuel poor, struggling to keep their homes warm during the winter months.
The cost of living crisis has led to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, especially among low-income families and vulnerable individuals.
In areas like Everton East, 72.7% of households experience deprivation in at least one dimension, such as employment, education, health, or housing.

Active Roots: Rehabilitation Through Movement
In partnership with Sport England
Delivered by My body therapy and Inner Guru CIC
Who is this for?
This free 12-week programme funded by Sports England is for adults (18+) who are living with physical or mental health challenges, including injury, chronic pain, disability, or emotional distress. It’s especially for those feeling left behind by mainstream fitness spaces.
What’s involved?
Each session combines gentle strength work, mobility rehab, breathwork, and accessible yoga. It’s not about pushing limits — it’s about rebuilding safely, gaining confidence in your body, and being supported by others on a similar journey.
When & Where?
The programme will be starting on Tuesday 1st July 2025 running for 6 consecutive weeks followed by a further 6 consecutive weeks starting on Tuesday 9th September at Inner Guru in Liverpool. Small groups. Safe space. Real support.
What do we ask in return?
Just that you show up, give it a go, and share a little feedback each week so we can grow and improve the project. If it works for you, there’s an option to stay involved afterwards through mentoring or community activities.
