Why not join theTuesday lunchtime Yoga classes at Three Corners?
There is now a weekly Yoga Class in the Youth Centre, on Tuesdays from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.
The classes aim to improve flexibility, strength and posture and, in addition, to help people cope with stress and anxiety.
The classes are suitable for most age groups and levels of ability/experience, and draw on Iyengar, Dru and Viniyoga schools of yoga. They also include Meir Schneider and Pilates techniques and include exercises for back pain. The classes usually include pranayama (breath control), meditation and relaxation techniques.
The teacher, Diana Broad, is trained through the British Wheel of Yoga and is a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals (Level 3).
She has many years experience and has undertaken courses in stress management, pranayama, and yoga for lower back pain (in preparation for a lower back pain trial conducted by the University of York).
She has taught in many health clubs, schools, government departments and community settings. Also, she has also undertaken outreach work and one-to-one sessions, and has worked for charities, including a cancer charity and the Parkinson’s Society.
Just come along to the session. The cost is £38 for a course of six sessions, or £30 for anyone on benefits or a full-time student.. For attendance on a drop-in basis, the cost is £7.50 (or £5.50) per session respectively. For further details please contact Diana on 020 7267 3230 or at diana@diana.entadsl.com
If anyone is interested in a possible Beginner's Yoga Class, probably to be held immediately after the Tuesday lunchtime class ie 1.30-2.30pm please let Diana know.

Trust considers Future Options
The Trustees are now actively considering what future activities to organise, in the light of the needs of the area and the opportunities to address them that the Three Corners centre presents. The real challenge is funding.
We are not short of ideas - and heartening offers of help from the surrounding community - but finding how to fund them is the real challenge. We have a lot of ideas about htis too and will post further news here as soon as we can.
