We had a great turnout at our sessions this week.   Seward's presentation on SKYPE was excellent, and participants were able to view a Skype setup and ask some very good questions.    Melanie Ramsay-Mudgridge, manager of the FitStop, gave a super presentation on GentleFit--stretching using rubber bands.   This will be repeated on Wednesday, May 30 from 11 to 11:45.    Come along and join the group!   It looks like GentleFit will be offered at Credit Union Place over the summer - details to follow.   It really is a great way to keep joints and muscles in shape.

OnTuesday May 15, from 7-8 p.m., EPSI is hosting a session on Backyard Birding. Birdwatching and feeding the birds are excellent PEI pastimes.

We think this will be a really interesting and entertaining evening.

JUST A REMINDER.........

On Tuesday May 8, from 7-8 p.m., Leslie Strubel, a deep tissue massage therapist, will talk about Healing Bowls. Healing bowls are used worldwide for meditation, music, relaxation and personal well-being. Some health professionals using healing bowls include psychotherapists, massage therapists, cancer specialists, and stress and meditation specialists. We hope you will drop by Credit Union Place to find out more.
On Wednesday, May 9, from 10:30 - 11:30 in the morning, EPSI will host a session at Credit Union Place on Reflexology by practitioner Joan Savage. This is a natural healing art which can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing. Reflexology treats the whole person, and not only the symptoms of disease.
PLEASE NOTE that our sessions, although targeted to the 50+ crowd, are not restricted to that age group. All are welcome!
If you would like more information on either of these sessions, please call Gloria at 888-2174
