Connecting communities and landscapes through movement, creativity and cycling
ABOUT
Facilitated by Jorja Follina and Chris Andrews, Detour offers inclusive spaces for people to be active and creative, connecting to natural spaces.
Detour aims to benefit participants' physical and mental health through physical activity, body awareness and spending time outdoors. We hope to encourage creative outlet and mindfulness, as well as initiating discussions around sustainability and the uses of greenspace.
Our events bring together adults of all ages and experiences, creating low pressure social spaces. We offer a range of both free and ticketed events.
Initiated in 2021, the project has spanned across the UK over tthe past 5 years. We are now based in Blairgowrie, offering events across Perthshire and Edinburgh.
EVENTS
We lead social bike rides which include a stop off for guided movement practice.
Movement By Bike sessions include an outdoor movement practice. This involves functional movement, sensory exploration and creative play.
Yoga By Bike sessions include stop off for an indoor Vinyasa Yoga class.
We also organise free Soup Loop rides in winter, and Coffee Outside socials in summer.
Open to adults of all ages, Detour rides are at a relaxed pace with plenty of stop offs to enjoy the scenery, get to know other participants and snack along the way.
