BELLY DANCING
AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT
Do you want to try something fun and different this
fall? Why not slide, sway
and shimmy your way to
a fun belly dance class on
Thursday afternoons at
the LCLC. Come and join
instructor Dawn Randall,
who has been dancing and
performing for many years.
No prior “shimmy” experience required! Belly dancing is low impact, meaning
it won’t jolt or jar your
body and provides so many
benefits that will help you
achieve a healthy body!
Above all ... it’s uplifting
and energizing!

In Awareness through Movement classes, slow and gentle
actions reveal the parts of you that move easily and those
that don’t. Each class explores a different movement sequence. You are guided to discover your habits, good and
bad. By learning what you do as you move, you can improve
your ability and comfort. Students taking classes report better posture, balance and stability, fuller breathing, muscle
relaxation and increased joint flexibility. The Feldenkrais
method enables effortless, comfortable movement for all
the functions of everyday life. It is a practical way to maintain or regain the pleasure of work out routines, office and
household tasks or sports activities. It is a non-invasive,
step-by-step class that can be enjoyed by all ages and abilities.
Instructor Lisa Woolnough studied to become a Feldenkrais Practitioner in Montreal. She completed the four-year
professional training progrm in 1996 and has been practicing
full time since then. A practitioner must complete Advanced
Training every two years to maintain certification as a member of the North American Feldenkrais Guild. Lisa discovered
the Feldenkrais Method while searching for a way to ease the
chronic pain suffered by her mother after a back injury. Subsequently, Lisa became vision impaired and the kinaesthetic
awareness gained from her Feldenkrais work has enabled her
to keep on skiing, kayaking and dog walking.

YIN YOGA
Yin Yoga contains the ancient, and some say original, form
of asana practice. It targets the connective tissues, such as
the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that
normally are not exercised very much in a more active style
of asana practice. Yin Yoga generally focuses on the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Postures are
held for longer periods of time and are often supported with
props to allow a deeper release. It is because of these long
holds that the deeper structures of the body are opened,
stretched and awakened. New depths in postures, deeper
ranges of motion, or an increased flow of energy may only
be achievable by focusing on the deeper tissues of the body.
This is why so many students are finding Yin Yoga to be the
perfect complement and balance to their more active, yang
practices and to their busy lives. This class is suitable for all
levels.
Thurs., April 2 - May 28, 6:50-8 p.m.
CHAIR YOGA
Chair Yoga is gentle, slow-paced, and suitable for most

flexibility, and promote relaxation. Instructor Amanda
Anaka is a CanFit Pro Fitness Instructor Specialist, as
well as a yoga instructor. Her classes consist of Hathabased sequences modified with the use of a chair with a
focus on breathing with the movements. She loves to be
able to bring the practise of yoga to students of all ages

Sun, the Moon, and the twelve signs of
the Zodiac. When understood mythologically and psychologically, these symbols offer wisdom
and instruction in navigating the challenges of life, offering
insights into our basic talents and inner motivations and
revealing where we’re most likely to find happiness and
fulfillment. A birth chart will be provided to each participant.

DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE
GARDENING
Instructor Bio: Elspeth McLean-Wile and her husband
Peter own and operate Wile’s Lake Farm Market in Wileville.
They have been answering gardening questions and helping
folks with their planting dilemmas for more than 20 years.
Elspeth is heard regularly on CKBW and Hank FM offering
gardening tips. Peter operated a commercial orchard with
his family for more than 25 years. Their workshops are lively
and entertaining with a great opportunity for socializing
afterwards with treats from their bakery! Note: Workshops
are held at the Greenhouse at Wile’s Lake Farm Market.
SPRAYING FRUIT TREES
LEARN TO GRAFT
YOUR OWN FRUIT TREES
Most fruits do not “come true to seed.” That is a seed from
a MacIntosh apple will not grow into a tree which produces
MacIntosh apples; one must graft a shoot from a MacIntosh
tree onto a suitable root to get such a tree. This hands-on
workshop will cover two distinct situations: 1) how to graft
a new tree, using a size-controlling rootstock. Participants
will be able to take home their own apple trees, grafted to
their choice of variety, for planting. 2) how to “topwork”
an existing tree, such as an abandoned apple tree on their
own property, that is grafting one - or many - new varieties
onto a mature tree, making a tree which bears the new
variety or varieties. Dr. David Maxwell is passionate about
the importance of preserving the old varieties of apples,
many of which are no longer available commercially, and
the varieties he will supply for the workshop are drawn
from his own collection of antique varieties. However,
participants are also encouraged to bring their own scion
wood from any apple trees which they may wish to preserve
and reproduce. (In this instance, they should contact Dr.
Maxwell, 902-766-0305, during the winter to obtain guidance
on how and when to cut their grafting wood.) The workshop
fee includes the cost of all necessary materials (rootstocks,
scions, tools and grafting materials) which will be supplied.
Participants should also take note of the workshops being
offered by Elspeth MacLean-Wile, in which they will learn
how to plant and care for their newly grafted baby. Please
bring a sturdy utility knife (type used for cutting wallboard)
and lunch.
Instructor Bio: Dr. David Maxwell is an amateur apple
grower with his own small orchard in Middle Lahave, where
he grows 50 different varieties of apples, most of which are
antique varieties.
Sat., May 9, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the

supported beds. This will be the 4rd year for this
initiative. You may have noticed these gardens in
front of business’s, Churches, the hospital, Girl
Guides and at the Dawson centre. Last year we
added the Library/LCLC, the Marina and four
apartment buildings. We are seeking others to
create a garden at their place of work, group or
office. Please connect with us to learn more.
Harvest Picnic
Edible Trees Bridgewater (ETB). Year #3 for
this one. We encourage folks to support the care,
maintenance and harvest of these edible fruit and
nut trees in 4 of our town parks and in Brookside
Cemetery. Look for more trees cropping up this
spring.
Our latest project is The Bee’s Needs Pollinator
Garden located at the bottom of the hill in
Aberdeen Green Park. Food production is being
threatened by the destruction of bees and other
creatures that pollinate plants. This garden is our
effort to educate the public on the need to reverse
the effects of pesticides, invasive species and
habitat destruction.
All of these initiatives are supported by the Town
of Bridgewater and are the result of benefactors
(Tree Canada, TD Friends of the Environment
Foundation, Helping Nature Heal and other local
businesses as well as The United Way) partnering
with volunteers to make our community more
vibrant, inclusive and edible.
BECOME A MEMBER
We are seeking new members for various
committees and core team activities.
