echome in Ways to Wellbeing, Age UK, Leeds

It was great to work with Ways to Wellbeing Co-ordinator, Sam Coates, at the Age UK, Leeds Hub as part of Moving with Confidence sessions. Following ongoing engagement with echome and participants’ feedback, Sam has developed her own unique way of using echome. Sessions begin with cardio activities featuring high paced music and movement in chairs. This is then followed by echome where participants work in pairs or as a group. Activities with echome build on the movement explored in the warm up while also encouraging interactions between the participants. Some of them have been working with echome for over a year and it is wonderful to witness the connections between listening and moving that guides and shapes their free flow movement!
