Why not come along and enrol in our Belly Dancing class taught by Nicola Rooney and due to start on Monday 19 February 7-8 pm for 7 weeks at a cost of $98. If you enjoy music and moving to music you can do this fun and social activity. All new dancers are welcome, no previous dance experience necessary! Our dancers come from all walks of life, range in age from young adults to retirees, and are all at different levels of fitness and despite popular opinion we don't bare our bellies. Come prepared for a few laughs, and develop lasting friendships through shared experiences in a supportive environment. From folkloric to caberet, tribal to dance fusion, belly dance promotes body awareness and confidence as well as creativity and self-expression, all through gentle exercise and the art of moving to music. For further information and enrolment you can visit our website www.papanui.school.nz... or email Barbara Roper rpb@papanui.school.nz or telephone our office on 3520701.

Retiree wanted

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Stuff and The Press are investigating the impact retirement can have on mental health.

While retirement is typically a happy, relaxing time of life, Age Concern says it can be very difficult for some as they experience a sense of loss, self worth and a lack of purpose.

Stuff and The Press are investigating the impact retirement can have on mental health.

While retirement is typically a happy, relaxing time of life, Age Concern says it can be very difficult for some as they experience a sense of loss, self worth and a lack of purpose.

We understand this is a sensitive topic, but we want to chat with a retiree who has initially struggled with retirement and may have felt these, or similar emotions.

If you're happy to share your experience please contact reporter Laura Baker by phone 03 943 2837 or email laura.baker@fairfaxmedia.co.nz

Hello all , I am repeating the info on Bal A Vis X trainings here as some parents might not find it under the health heading where I also posted it.
Re Bal A Vis X trainings,
If you have or you know children wanting/needing help to address reading/writing/attention challenges(commonly referred to as "
", "ADD", "dyslexia", "dyspraxia", "aspergers" , "autism" and many other such names used to describe different behaviours and learning styles), please feel free to inquire about the Bal A Vis X training schedules. I am a NZ registered teacher and I trained with Bill Hubert in this fun and very effective method of working towards coherence and optimal natural development in youngsters .
These exercises are highly effective in increasing all children's holistic development with emphasise on the visual, auditive, rhythmic and balance aspects.
Trainings are held in small groups, initially one on one and gradually up to groups of 4 children. Can be done at student's home if there is an absolutely flat hard levelled smooth floor area available or at my practice situated on Dovedale Av.
To know more about research and the benefits of Bal A Vis X training, please see the following links

If you or your friends are looking for a very effective and really fun way to move forward with a challenged youngster (or any youngster for that matter.. who ever said life was a never ending piece of cake :0) ??? ), please feel free to contact me on 021734420 or E mail me at ourplacejuanita@hotmail.com . All the best
