Course Description

This course is a little different from many of our courses at Learning with Experts. It’s brought to you following the global Covid outbreak, to help unite a community of ladies in the north of England, who needed to keep in touch with one another, and their amazing exercise instructor, Val Edge. Val came to us via her son John Edge (a Massachusetts’s Institute of Technology Fellow) and her daughter Karen (a physiotherapist), and in collaboration with Oxford University Innovation.

During these 10 lessons you’ll get to meet people, and do gentle stretches along to music, taught by Val, and get to know the community as it reaches beyond the boundaries of Blackburn.

Join Val and her ladies, in Val’s living room. You’ll feel just like you’re doing your exercise class in your village hall, and can join in wherever you are in the world.

If you’re looking for a like-minded community of people who are keen to try and keep their energy levels up, would like to take part in some gentle exercise, but don’t want to be doing it by yourself, join Val and her students to help keep your spirits up wherever you are in the world.
