Why join a Coop? One of the many benefits of joining OWC on the Core membership is access to quarterly social and networking events!

Being self-employed can be isolating, especially in a competitive and elitist market like wellness.

Meet other down-to-earth practitioners with similar values, share and reflect, and feel supported wherever you are in your business!

The Core plus Space membership includes access to the therapy room and or event space at our OX1 venue Makespace Oxfordshire

As the Coop develops, membership is intended to offer:

✅A supportive network of aligned practitioners
✅Opportunities to contribute to shared programmes and initiatives
✅Peer connection, learning, and reflection
✅Collective visibility through Coop communications and activities
✅Access to space, where relevant, through the appropriate pathway
✅Members contribute to, and benefit from, the shared resources and reputation of the Coop, with decisions shaped collectively rather than top-down.

Meet our Coop member Barbara Sunchaser! A trauma-informed yoga teacher based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, offering yoga, mobility, and rest practices through the Oxford Wellbeing Coop.

Her work is rooted in accessibility, inclusion, and creating welcoming spaces for people who may have felt excluded from mainstream wellness environments.

Drawing on advanced yoga training and specialist trauma-sensitive approaches, Barbara supports people to connect with movement and rest in ways that feel safe, sustainable, and empowering. She is particularly passionate about challenging the performative and diet-culture narratives often associated with fitness and wellbeing, and instead centres care, choice, and individual experience in her teaching.

Barbara offers regular group classes in Banbury, including Yoga for Mobility, Yoga for Balance, Yoga for Stress Relief, and monthly Slow Down Sunday sessions, alongside one-to-one and small group yoga support.
