AN American exercise routine based around simple body movements is being taught at free sessions this week.

Movement Ritual is a daily movement practice, designed to get rid of stress and tension.

Chester-le-Street District Council's arts development team, working with the Chester-le-Street Learning District Partnership, are offering the sessions this week as part of Adult Learners' Week.

They will be held at the Park View Community Centre daily from 6pm to 8pm until Friday.

No previous experience is necessary.
