TUESDAY NIGHT TALKS

FINE MOTOR FUN

Led by pediatric occupational therapist Heather Harder, Fine motor fun! is an hour of play and learning for parents.  This interactive talk will walk parents through some of the reasons why their child’s handwriting and other fine motor skills may not be as legible or “easy” as they would like and demonstrate some simple steps to start making positive change towards those goals.  Suitable for parents of elementary age children, this session is not an assessment but a starting point to explore how to add some play into the daily routine to build up hand strength, endurance and coordination….all while making it fun!

Tuesday, Jan. 24 for 1 night 7:00-8:30 FREE

Please contact us through email, phone or FB messenger if you have any ideas  about what you'd like to see offered, or if you are able to share your own expertise with your neighbours.

DAN’S YIN YOGA

Instructor: Dan Woodward

Yin yoga involves a series of seated and supine postures, typically held for 3-5 minutes at a time.  During these prolonged periods of stillness, participants experience a surrendering sensory awakening that melts away residual tension and stress.  Long Yin yoga holds are also known to release repressed or stored emotions, leaving students feeling lighter, clearer and completely relaxed. Yin Yoga classes are designed to accommodate all levels of practice.  They’re just as accessible to those who have never practiced Yin yoga as they are to seasoned yogis on a quest to deepen their practice.  Please bring a water bottle.

Tuesdays starting Jan. 17  for 7 weeks 7:30-8:30 $35.00

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

Instructor: Dan Woodward

Anxiety, stress and depression, are just some of the mental health challenges we all experienced during the pandemic and may still be dealing with.  Many of us are worrying constantly, having problems staying focused on tasks, finding it difficult to make a decision, wearing our emotions on our sleeve and might be experiencing sleeping disorders, all threaten to overwhelm our mental stability.  Common knowledge recognizes that exercising your body keeps our body healthy, but what are we doing to exercise our mind?  The very mind that is trying to cope with this world.  Meditation and mindfulness practices have shown in numerous systematic reviews improvements in the measure of these conditions.  Just taking a few minutes each day and or throughout the day to check in purposefully with ourselves, our thoughts and the quality of those thoughts, we can realize positive benefits to our mental health.

Wednesdays starting Jan. 18  for 7 weeks 8:15-9:15 $35.00
