• MAKESHIFT BICYCLE CLUB

    Altogether Otherwise 6-10 Hanover Street, NOMA,, Manchester, England, United Kingdom
    No Lycra, no pressure. Just bikes, friends, and a ride that’s actually fun.

    Some of these pursuits belong to childhood and don’t translate easily into the adult world, but we believe experimentation, open-ended collaboration and fun should still be altogether attainable, otherwise, what’s the point? It’s very early days for MAKESHIFT BICYCLE CLUB, but here are our founding principles:

    NO PAIN AND NO GAIN An aimless bike club built on fun. Encouraging you to AIM-LESS and enjoy more.

    REFRESHINGLY LOW TECH If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it. We’ll teach each other the basics.

    BIKES THROUGH THE WIDEST POSSIBLE LENS As likely to make a trifle as we are to cycle. Always bike-related, but rarely in the way you expect.

  • YIN YOGA

    Altogether Otherwise 6-10 Hanover Street, NOMA,, Manchester, England, United Kingdom
    We will work with the energy of the full moon through meditation, yin yoga and guided journaling. With Yoga Club - In Present Company.

    We will work with the energy of the full moon through meditation, yin yoga and guided journaling, calling in everything we want to manifest for the next lunar month and releasing anything we wish to leave behind.

    What is Yin Yoga

    In a Yin practice, we hold each pose for between 1-5 minutes, allowing the body time and space to open softly. Yin is a practice of yielding, allowing and nourishing; slowing down and being with sensation. Yin Yoga is simple, but simple does not mean easy.

    While a vinyasa practice works with our muscular ‘yang’ structures, Yin works in a more subtle realm. Accessing the deeper tissues and networks of the body.

    This class is a chance to hold and be held. All levels are welcome.

    What to bring

    Wear the comfiest clothes you have, pyjamas are welcome (and encouraged).

    Bring layers or a blanket to help you feel cocooned.

    A journal or paper & a pen

    Any other special items, like crystals or treasured things

    All ticket charges will go towards buying eqipment for the class. Our regular classes are every Thursday at 6pm, with In Present Company.
