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.

The Bridgewater Community Gardens Network is calling for new volunteers to help with the following! INCREDIBLE EDIBLE BRIDGEWATER EDIBLE TREES BRIDGEWATER BEE’S NEEDS POLLINATOR GARDEN HODGE PODGE COMMUNITY GARDEN As BCGN’s only project that takes place off of town land, Incredible Edible helps businesses and organizations within the town of Bridgewater grow edible gardens in the public eye. In its 4th year, we are engaging with existing participants, defining the project’s long term goals, and re-branding to increase visibility and publicity. Perhaps you’ve noticed that we’ve expanded the existing pollinator garden at Aberdeen Green! We used a technique called sheet mulching to define the new area, and planted it with squash donated by Wile’s Lake Farm Market for this year. We’re planning to have the area mulched with bark mulch this fall to be ready for planting in the spring! Volunteers in this project get to help research pollinator plants, make a landscape plan, and source seeds and plants- and of course planting and helping it grow! Almonds, pawpaws, peaches, pecans, and more! Did you know that there are 5 town park locations with edible trees planted by BCGN? Join the volunteer group that takes care of the existing trees, provides visioning for the future of the project, and helps plant more edible landscaping into Bridgewater’s parks. As Bridgewater’s only community garden, Hodge Podge serves to educate the public about community gardens as well as be a place for members of our community to garden and grow food together! With new plot signs and a waiting list for 2017 already started, we’ll be looking this fall and winter at how to keep Hodge Podge Community Garden growing and thriving. Let us know if you’re interested in being a gardener or a member of the planning team or a helping hand at work parties. For more info contact Chris Sanford, Community Gardens Co-ordinator at communitygardens@bridgewater.ca or (902) 543-2274.

Raking leaves and picking up fallen branches can cause undue stress on seniors. The strain caused by constant bending, crouching and heavy lifting can put them at serious risk of falls, broken bones, heart attacks and stroke. Bridgewater | www.bridgewater.ca | 543-2274 STACK IT FORWARD THIS FALL “Adopt” a senior neighbour and help with their fall cleanup. Firewood is heavy and unstable, and seeing it not taken care of can cause stress and anxiety for seniors as they think about cold weather. Stacking and storing it themselves puts them at serious risk of falls, broken bones, heart attacks and stroke. Is your senior or disabled neighbour’s property looking a little messy? Or have they just recently received a load of firewood? A neighbour may need your help and your act of kindness could save a life. Volunteer to stack and store firewood as an individual, family, business, or school. Knock on your neighbour’s door and spread care and compassion in your community.
