This October the Brighton Natural Health Centre (BNHC) celebrates 30 years as a pioneer in the city’s vibrant holistic health scene. BNHC – an educational charity offering a wide range of healthy lifestyle classes – was founded in 1981 by Infinity Foods Co-operative to further its educational aims. At the time its mix of yoga, tai chi, dance, massage and meditation classes was unique in Brighton and helped pave the way for a massive expansion in public awareness of holistic lifestyles. BNHC is independent, non-profit making and it has always been committed to providing the very best teachers in all the disciplines it offers.

With a wide range of classes from Astanga yoga to hula-hooping, BNHC provides inspiration, friendliness, affordability and real quality in the heart of Brighton’s bustling North Laine area. In furtherance of its aims, BNHC has recently started to offer National Lottery-funded outreach classes aimed at minority groups who do not normally have the confidence or means to attend courses at the centre. To celebrate their 30th birthday, the Centre is welcoming everybody to a free Open Day on 22 October. There will be talks, demonstrations, taster classes and the opportunity to talk to teachers about the classes they are offering. 27 Regent Street. Tel: 01273 600 010 or www.bnhc.co.uk for info.
