ACUPUNCTURE was one of the first activities on the list for Oxford's latest Health and Wellbeing Festival.
The two-week festival launched on Monday with the community acupuncture sessions with Holistic Health.
There was also restorative yoga, nutrition advice, and Ayurvedic massage by Ayurveda Corner.
It comes as part of a series of activities and workshops being held in Florence Park, Oxford, to promote health and wellbeing in the area.
The festival, organised with support from Independent Oxford, is hoped will bring together people to try different experiences while supporting local businesses.
It runs up to September 8 and details of workshops can be found at independentoxford.com
