# Shift Movement
Shift Movement is a Gloucestershire-based social enterprise dedicated to embedding yoga and mindfulness into schools and community settings. They operate from Gloucester GL1 4DF and focus specifically on young people and educators, recognising the mental health pressures faced by these groups.
The organisation delivers a comprehensive range of wellbeing services tailored to educational institutions. They teach in-person and online yoga classes, run school workshops covering mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and provide bespoke one-to-one lessons. Beyond direct teaching, Shift Movement trains yoga teachers to join their freelance network, empowers young people to become peer wellbeing ambassadors, and upskills adults working in education to champion mental health in their settings.
What distinguishes Shift Movement is their dual approach: providing immediate access to yoga and mindfulness tools whilst simultaneously building long-term capacity through teacher training and ambassador programmes. They've demonstrated substantial reach across Gloucestershire between 2021-24, working with primary schools, secondary schools, and the wider community including locations around Stroud, Cheltenham, and the Forest of Dean.
Their impact extends beyond one-off sessions. By creating a network of trained facilitators and empowering young people to lead peers, they're establishing sustainable wellbeing practices within institutions. They also maintain an online platform with yoga videos and a directory of local classes, making resources accessible beyond face-to-face delivery.
