FREE yoga sessions are being offered to teenage girls.
It is believed these physical and mental exercises could help improve mental health and wellbeing for youngsters aged 13 to 16.
Jenny Illidge, Halton Council sport and physical activity development officer, said: "This is a chance to try something new and relax after school.
"Young people need the opportunity to get involved with activities that benefit them physically and mentally.
“We are encouraging girls to attend as we recently ran a group and provided yoga sessions which was well received by the girls, who told us they wanted more sessions."
The sessions are being held at The Hub on Grangeway on Thursdays from 4pm to 5pm until July 13.
The project is a partnership between Young Addaction and the council.
