campaign for nuclear disarmament

Otley

CND campaigns non-violently to achieve British nuclear disarmament – to get rid of the Trident nuclear weapons system and stop its replacement. But we recognise that Britain’s nuclear weapons are only a small part of the problem, so we also campaign for a global nuclear weapons ban. We also work to end Britain’s participation in the US Missile Defence system and – with other campaigns internationally – against missile defence and weapons in space. Our other campaigns include opposition to NATO and its nuclear policies and to nuclear power, and the prevention and cessation of wars in which nuclear weapons may be used and the encouragement of non-military solutions to conflict. CND is funded entirely by its members and supporters. Our policies are decided upon by our annual national delegates’ conference, where our national leadership is also elected. You can read more about CND’s aims and objectives here, and CND’s structure here.

dan newman personal training

London

The private PT studio which Dan Newman owns and uses for his personal training clients. The gym is in on Watermill Way in Wimbledon SW19 and is surrounded by picturesque parkland and river side cafes. There is a map and some video of the fitness studio along with a description of how and where clients can work with their personl trainer. You may choose to exercise with myself or another trainer in my diverse and experienced team according to your preferences. We operate 4 PT studios dispersed conveniently throughout Wimbledon and the practice we run is one of high standards that remains relaxed and fun while it targets your results and works hard at achieving them with you. We offer 1:1 PT, a full schedule of group ex classes including Hiit classes, circuits, pilates, yoga, box-fit-hiit and more. I recruit the best PTs and provide them a scenario that enables them to thrive, so that we can provide you with the best experience available in Personal Training anywhere. Choosing a DNPT trainer means chooosing a trainer that has already been carefully vetted, and whose knowledge and enjoyment for the job is nourished and consistently developed. I do not lead the company alone, a central core of senior PTs share the task, enabling us to run a smooth and professional service in which every trainer is invested. As well as this you can rest assured that excitement and personality are just as important to us. Our environment of high standards and continued development enriches the experience of PT for every member – client, trainer and company. It is my opinion, formed over 30 years in health and fitness, with more than 18 years as a one-on-one PT, that turning up for the exercise hour alone is not enough to help people achieve a lasting change. Which is why, as well as your actual PT Sessions you will be provided a full plan and experience a great deal of support from us with any lifestyle changes required to achieve your results. There will be some predictable obstacles to strategise for and some opportunities we might take advantage of, and we will form our plan taking these into account. The first step is an informal chat with me. There is no obligation or expectation, just a free chat with a professional. If you decide that PT is the right thing for you from there, then the next step would be to meet up for a proper consultation.Contact me if you want to take the first step. My service is built around a proven structure and motivating process that you can rely on, but every package is tailored to you as an individual. As well as being a great way to ensure you are successful with your goals, Personal Training is quality ‘You’ time and if you look around in one of my studios, you’ll see a lot of people enjoying their PT hour as well as learning new things and getting the workout done. We also run group exercise classes which can be packaged up with your PT week to help with easy motivation and balance the budget.

sohbet society

London

Sohbet Society is a non-profit organisation (limited by guarantee company registration no.11613566) providing religious learning and spiritual activities for Muslims. Sohbet is a Turkish word and means ‘to talk, converse, discuss and engage with one another in a friendly, caring, warm and informal manner’. In our context, we use the word sohbet to mean to converse with one another in a study or discussion circle on the big questions of God, purpose, meaning, faith, religion, and society. Through Sohbet Society, we provide opportunity for religious learning and spiritual growth and development for Muslims in Britain. We achieve this through a series of activities including study groups, mentoring, outreach, retreats, excursions and social action. Religious and spiritual learning is achieved through semi-structured study groups as well as practical experiences such as social action and retreats. In all, we aim to offer a friendly, positive and constructive form of authentic religious expression and an environment for genuine spiritual experience that speaks both to the mind and heart, to the personal and social needs of the individual. We believe this nurtures a religious understanding and spiritual mindset that emphasises peaceful social relations and respect for human diversity and dignity. Sohbet Society is an active component of Hizmet, an Islamically inspired social movement that focuses on education, dialogue, and disaster and poverty relief work. It originated in Turkey in the 1970s based on the teachings and scholarship of Fethullah Gülen, an Islamic scholar and peace advocate. Today, Hizmet is active in over 160 countries worldwide. Like other social movements Hizmet includes formalised entities and organisations, but is largely based on informal networks and practices. The Sohbet Society is now formalising Hizmet’s pre-existing informal grass-roots religious activism in the UK in order to achieve greater visibility, transparency, professionalism, and structure so that we may be able to diversify the people who benefit from our services and to further develop our projects and services.

dave taylor - massage training

5.0(198)

London

The Raynor Massage is a therapeutic technique developed by Brandon Raynor, an Australian trained Naturopath. Some of the techniques used in Raynor Massage originated from Eastern practices of massage, such as Shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage, Thai massage, Lomi Lomi, and Yoga breathing techniques. Raynor Massage is a unique method of massage specifically focusing on finding and eliminating residual tension being held in the body. Brandon Raynor developed the technique based on over twenty years practicing massage and studying many different techniques used throughout the world. He has developed a method of teaching massage that enables students to learn quickly, focusing on the goal, which is always finding and totally releasing all residual tension located throughout the body. Find out more about Raynor Massage and our courses by requesting our free information pack CLICK HERE Tension can be tracked along bands in the body that are composed of tendons, muscles, ligaments and other bodily tissues. Underlying these physical manifestations of the bands are subtle energy systems similar to Sen lines in Thai Massage, Meridians in Chinese Medicine, or Nadis in Ayurvedic Massage. Knowledge and techniques gleaned from these ancient modalities were then combined and evolved to form the Raynor Band Theory. While Raynor Massage Bands may overlap with some of these eastern practices, their distinguishing feature is they can be physically traced and seen within the body. Our bodies hang onto tension in our muscles for a variety of reasons; poor posture, stress from home or work, injuries, exercise and/or sports training, hunching over a computer and other things as well. This tension is held in our muscle tissue and eventually results in residual muscle tension and pain. If this goes untreated for any length of time it can result in long-term problems physically, mentally and emotionally. “As a refresher, highlights for me were the practicals, getting practise and feedback from the other students and from Dave.” Diploma Massage student, London 2015 This system of bodywork treats the muscle and skeletal systems, as well as the energy systems throughout the body. Raynor Massage is not anything like an ordinary massage, although it does involve certain adjustments, stretches and techniques that have been developed over the years. Residual tension is something that exists in someone’s body even when their body is at rest, like when they are lying on the massage table. If the client has an area where there is muscle tightness when they are not even using that muscle, this is residual tension. The goal of Raynor Massage is to completely rid the body of this. The definition of “relax” is to “return to a state of looseness”. “Re” is defined “to bring back” and “lax” means “loose”. Thus, Raynor Massage is a modality of deep and relaxing massage. Another vital aspect of Raynor Massage is accepting that residual tension can be caused by emotional, mental or stress related issues. The fundamental philosophy of Raynor Massage is based on the theory of Eastern Medicine. The physical tension in the body is the culmination of various energies, emotions and of a life force, which is called chi or prana. If there is a disruption or blockage, which impedes the flow of chi or prana, the result will be an area of muscle tightness, and the bones in the skeletal structure may be forced out of alignment.

On an ongoing basis, students will be required to actively engage and commit to their own development (on a practical level this includes projects being completed and any missed time made up) Professional: In addition to ‘learning by osmosis’ from the professional culture of the course, there will be specific training around codes of conduct, CNHC, running a practice etc. Students are encouraged to think widely about what they can contribute during and after the training – to STAT and to the wider profession of Alexander teaching Continuous and Ongoing: graduates are encouraged to continue to visit the school on a regular basis to gain experience as a teacher until they feel sufficiently established. A mentoring system provides each graduate with an experienced teacher who they can call on for ongoing advice and support.
