"The Grades 7 and 8 teachers are saying the kids are coming back to class more mellow and tuned in for their lessons," she says. Dougall also plans to offer yoga classes for children at her RR 3 Exeter studio. A OPEN WEEKENDS MAY 21, 22, 23, 24 SHREK 11 plus ENVY Gates Open 8:15 PM/Show 9:20 PM Arrive Early!!!

Judy Dougall, of RR 3 Exeter, recently approached both the local Catholic and public school boards about introducing the ancient practice of exercise and relaxation to area students. "Introducing a practice of yoga into the education system is a goal I feel to be worthwhile exploring. The objectives of children's yoga are to promote self-discipline, increase the ability to focus attention, exercise the physical body, help left/right brain coordination, help children be aware of themselves from the inside (both physically and emotionally), increase self confidence and have fun," she says in a letter to the school. St. James students in Grade 6-8 have been given the chance to take a once -a -week yoga class on Wednesdays for the month of May. "They're enjoying it, the relaxation specifically," said Dougall after last Wednesday's class. "Our society is so busy, 1 have to teach people how to relax. And, kids are just as stressed out as adults," she said. Dougall said teaching yoga to kids needs to be a more active exercise than teaching adults. As well, she uses stories to accompany the yoga postures they practise. And, while students might be active in sports, Dougall' says yoga helps to stretch muscles that don't get a workout from most sports. "I wouldn't necessarily say that kids are in good shape these days with all the TV and video games. And, sports all tighten the muscles to strengthen them. You'd be surprised how tight most people's muscles are at the back of their legs just from sitting all day," she says. She adds that yoga gives students a mental and emotional workout as well. "The postures help to stretch and strengthen the body so anyone can use yoga to get into shape. But, yoga also teaches people to be aware of their emotions and what's happening inside their bodies," says Dougall.

Exeter -area yoga teacher Judy Dougall is offering introductory yoga lessons to students at local schools this spring and close to two dozen students in Grades 6-8 at St. James are taking part in four sessions. • , • 1 • 1 a 5 • The family of Ivin Shannon would like to invite you to an Open House in celebration of his 85th Birthday on 'Saturday, June 5 2-4pm +i at the Walton Hall Best Wishes ° . only please ip • " • 'Thee fam4 of Margaret Stephenson invite you to join us in a celebration of her 90th birthday at the Egmondvitr Mimi Church Saturday, 9wie 5t4 2004 Come e •(jo 1-4PM GODERICH 524-7811 Fri & Sat 8:45809:15 Sun - Thur 8:00 Sat & Sun Mat. 2:00 PRIM ,mo o +11 ^M•' DRAI> ERIC t)RI.AllfO PITT BAr1A Bloom TR\OY WWW.fnovielinks.Ci1 May 21 - 27 8:00 Nightly Marta! vlel \ Mm � Mus Thom Pert Scenes 1 800-2(i5-3/138 Be Sure To Attend The BRUCEFIELD FIREMEN'S OLD FASHIONE Au BREAKFAST CA"P Place: Brucefield Fire Hall P ate: SATURDAY, JUNE 5 Time: 7 a.m. to noon Come and Enjoy All You Con Eat Pancakes & Syrup, Sausages, Bacon Homeflies, Eggs, Toast, Coffee and Milk Adults *6.00 Take Out Available Children 5-12 $4.00 Preschool Free /firtrimal S 2)rifl9 t>>tipper E mondville United Church Por Chop BBQ Wednesday May 26, 2004 5pm-7pm at the Seaforth District Community Centres TICKETS Adults t10 5-12yrolds $5 Preschoolers Free TAKE -OUTS AVAILABLE Tickets available from Egmondville Stone, Pita Train or Pete's Paper Clip or at the door. is • • • • • • • • : •• • • • • • Pit WEDDINGS 11 iO Performed - your lova • or our indoor or outdoor chapel (non -denominational).
