Testimonials:

This class was a wonderful surprise. I resisted signing up for a couple of years, and even for a couple of weeks this session expecting screaming thighs from HIIT - lateral jumps, lunges, wall sits. With the online option, I thought I could ease into it. Having the class available online for a couple of days is a bonus.

I’ve been hiking and skiing with aching hips for many seasons, so it was such an unexpected surprise to find that your exercises improved range of motion and comfort in movement.

I can now sleep through the night after a 15 km 200 m EG hike. Thank you!

Tuesday, April 15^th | 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

RESISTER HERE on EventBrite

Join us as we sit down with our very own Navin Jetha to talk about how you can learn to take control of your body's physical reaction in times of stress. Being able to control your breathing can physically slow down your heart rate and make your brain a little sharper. Combine this with slow movement and stretching and you can reduce long-term physical discomfort in some cases and improve your stability by strengthening those smaller stabilizer muscles.

In this discussion, we will explain how this works and what you can do to set yourself up for success!

Her warm personality, passion for health, experience, and compassion for people have encouraged many students to take care of their health.

LECTURE: EDIBLE GARDENING IN SMALL SPACES - Online - ZL04

with Caglary Horicultural Society speaker Janet Melrose

Wednesday, April 16th | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Member: $10 | Non-Member: $10

Edible gardening not only provides food for the table, contributing to our food security. It also contributes to our mental wellbeing as well as providing gentle physical movement.

Having a small space is no barrier to a viable and productive edible garden!

In this workshop learn how we can grow edibles in small spaces-indoors under lights, on balconies or patios and perhaps at a community garden or another social gardening program. Also, the basics for edible gardening in containers-soil, what to grow, how to care for containers/planters and harvesting techniques. We will also talk about the inevitable barriers’ seniors have for gardening and how we can surmount them to enjoy edible gardening.

Meet your speaker:

Janet Melrose is ‘Calgary’s Cottage Gardener’- Garden consultant, coach, educator and Horticultural Therapist. She shares her passion for gardening and knowledge through workshops, writing for ‘The Gardener for Cold Climates’ and ‘Calgary Gardening’ magazines, and co-authors with Sheryl Normandeau, the Guides for Prairie Gardeners series of books.

Testimonials:

This class was a wonderful surprise. I resisted signing up for a couple of years, and even for a couple of weeks this session expecting screaming thighs from HIIT - lateral jumps, lunges, wall sits. With the online option, I thought I could ease into it. Having the class available online for a couple of days is a bonus.

I’ve been hiking and skiing with aching hips for many seasons, so it was such an unexpected surprise to find that your exercises improved range of motion and comfort in movement.

I can now sleep through the night after a 15 km 200 m EG hike. Thank you!
