PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
😊 Physical activity is well known to provide multiple health benefits, like decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and several types of cancer.
😊 Being active can also:
-increase energy and reduce fatigue 
-improve sleep
-improve mental health
-reduce pain
-decrease risk of falls and decrease risk of injury due to falls
-help with maintaining a healthy weight 
😊 To help facilitate movement, we are offering a FREE 8 week movement program starting January 24. We have an INTRODUCTORY CLASS THIS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13th, 3-4pm. Come try a class and see if you think you would enjoy a weekly session to help you start moving through life with more ease and confidence!
😊 Classes will start with a short talk, providing information about health and fitness (Dr. Irina Ghenea), followed by a movement instruction with Valerie Dolhanty (certified yoga instructor) and ending with a cooldown and Q&A period.
😊 The beginner “Freedom to Move” class was designed (with the help of physiotherapist Guy Reid ) for those of you who:
-are older, new to exercise, or have limited mobility
-need exercises that are done seated, or using a chair for support
- want to improve your mobility, strength, and balance in a safe and supportive environment
-want to start moving your bodies without getting on the floor or lifting heavy weights 
😊Have a look at the poster below for more information.
😊Registration is required as space is limited.
