A massive welcome to our new community members, a heartfelt thank you to the regulars and a huge welcome back to those of you who are now back in sessions after your Yoga sabbatical 😂. For those of you currently on Yoga sabbatical, I hope you know that you are welcome back, whenever the time is good for you, and that there is no need to dodge me if you see me at the shops… unless of course you are leaning on the shopping trolley 😂.
It is such a gift to be a part of your day-to-day goals and I truly love being a part of your life. As I listen to your changing needs and look at how to support you and our community in better ways, I have put on a few extra events this term.
This update has a few extra events that I will also post on Facebook. If you have not had the chance to connect on Facebook yet, please feel welcome to send me a friend request, and also, to stay up to date please follow Port Stephens Chiropractic & Yoga and Inspired Vitality with Maree Frawley.
I often feel the disappointment from people when they say they did not know that a specific event was on, so this might assist a better flow of information.
I truly appreciate any referral you send my way; you have my assurance that I will always care for your friends, family and random referrals.
To support the after-work crew and with the Hall not being available the first Thursday of the month I have decided to offer a Thursday evening class on the first Thursday of the month. A 5.45pm session commencing Thursday, 7th of March. Even if you only come once a month, it is great to see what options and techniques would better benefit your body. This way you can modify your home practice (even if that means beginning to remember that you forgot to do your Yoga – baby steps).
As we move into Autumn, it is great to pay attention to our health to cope with some of the occurrences that Winter can offer us. Joints, immune system strength and lymph would be the top of our list, alongside your individual needs. Throughout the next workshops and retreats, I will be covering these topics in more detail, and as always, we will cover many tips and hints in our Therapeutic Yoga sessions.
A huge reoccurring discussion during and after class would be falls prevention and how to support yourself or another person after a fall. More importantly would be our overall agility and cognition with the prevention. So, after a comment in class that potentially you might be “too old by Term 2”, I have brought the Brain Gym and Agility for Living workshop forward into March.
I hope you can support your health by being at this workshop.
Logistical Comment for Corlette Hall: As we move into Autumn, please note the air-conditioning at the Hall will probably stay set to cool to assist the exercise classes that are also held there on various days. If you begin to feel cold, please start bringing an extra layer of warmth. There are blankets available as per usual. For the afternoon and evening crew, be mindful that it will be darker and cooler when you leave the Hall, so maybe start to prepare your Yoga bag accordingly.
Agility for Living & Brain Gym
Thank you to my dear “young” Yogi for making the comment, “I will be too old by term 2”, so I have brought this workshop forward. The idea behind this workshop is to support foundation agility, mobility, balance and strength in a safe environment that has supports, padding, equipment and security to go over movements of daily living, falls prevention and exercises for brain health. Covering all the foundations of how to move when you have had a fall or have an injury, how to support other people who have fallen, and of equal importance, daily and weekly exercises for your brain health, including memory function. I have been able to secure us the best space at Zone Active for Monday, March 11th at 12.30 – 2pm. $45 per individual or $70 per couple.
