Athletics for Adults
Do the words themselves bring you out in a sweat? Don't panic! This course is about fun as well as fitness. The inner athlete lurking inside every couch potato will be gently coaxed out with a weekly range of warm ups, stretches and exercises. There'll also be a different focus every week, starting with an assessment of each participant's preferred event then moving on to running-based events, jumping and throwing, and the final "medal" session. Get fit and fabulous! There's no age limit, but as always, if you haven't exercised for years or have any health issues, check it out with your doctor first.

Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is an ancient tradition still practisd by many families in India today. It is attracting more attention of late because of its many short & long term health & beauty benefits including: easing tension, headaches, eyestrain & jaw-ache, encouraging stronger, healthier hair, relieving stress, anxiety & mild depression and improving sleep patterns.

Uplifting strokes are applied to the upper back which may release feelings of stored emotions. The therapist moves on to the shoulders, arm & neck enhancing relaxation. Next, the scalp is massaged, promoting clarity & peace of mind. Gentle finger pressure is applied to the face, stimulating acupressure points to relieve sinus, promote blood circulation & increase energy levels. Finally, the chakra centres are balanced.

Tai Chi for Beginners
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese system of exercise that consists of slow, graceful, peaceful, flowing movements. One of the avowed aims of Tai Chi is to foster the circulation of Chi (energy) within the body. This Chi circulates in patterns that are closely related to the nervous & vascular systems and, thus, is closely connected with the practice of acupuncture & other oriental, healing arts. Patrice has been teaching Tai Chi for 16 years and has a passion to help others gain energy & vitality in a safe environment.
