Inspired student Scott Lebold, a grade six student at Hensall Public School surprised his music teacher Peter Snell recently by building a model of the famous Canadian Bluenose, the 1921 Schooner that graces one side of our 10 cent coin. Lebold built the model after being inspired by the song "The Ballad of the Bluenose" he was learning in music class. Snell said the model was not part of the music lesson and he was surprised by Lebold's initiative. Stretching the imagination with yoga This is the fifth of a six -part series that will feature various natural health topics as they are presented each Wednesday from Sept. 4 to Oct. 9 at the Exeter Town Hall or South Huron District High School. By Brenda Burke and Angela Pickering TA Reporter TA Co-op Student EXE IbR - "I'll give you some homework. I'm asking you questions at the end," teased Peter Juknys as he passed out diagrams of yoga positions. What he did do at the Exeter Town Hall health session was demonstrate the ancient form for more than 30 people. Monks relied on yoga in India as a spiritual type of healing based on the belief of the existence of a mind, body and spirit connection, he explained. Referring to one definition of yoga as "a quick, easy way to turn yourself into a pretzel," Juknys pointed out relaxation and well-being as more tangible benefits. "What's kept me going is the yoga," admitted the mountain climber/skier/runner who claims he's experienced improved flexibility while practicing yoga for more than 20 years. "You are as old as your spine is flexible," he said. Breathing is very important in order to exhale toxins, he stressed as he began the session with inhaling and exhaling, urging participants to breathe through the nose and exhale as much as possible. He said yoga "works all muscles from head to toe" and "massages all of the internal organs" in a way they are not accustomed to within the limitations of average day to day movement. The class participated as he stretched and worked his body, many giggling when they couldn't stretch as far as they'd like to. He responded by saying challenging positions are the ones that should be practiced more often. Juknys told the group there are many different kinds of yoga. As well as his favorite type, which relies on the exact placement of body parts, he described yoga that offers a more gentle meditative flow as well as a version that works on the mind. "Yoga works on building tension," he said, but added it takes practice and improvement comes with time. me Wor Tour 1 "Yoga can also be aerobic," he laughed, adding it moves at quite a fast pace that can wear you out faster. Participants watched intently and attempted to imitate his instructions, some of which were suggested by magazines he brought with him. Many enquired about yoga teachers and information on local yoga classes was given. According to Juknys, yoga starts with'breathing and ends with meditation. The session ended with a meditation that helped people to release the stress from that day. Relaxed, everyone slowly left, chatting about the night's events and how it was a great success. The final session of this health series features spiritual healing with Carolyn Feeney and Doris Elliot at the Exeter Town Hall tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. Call 235-4003 for more details. !Merton resident Peter Juknys teaches participa nts some basic yoga moves at the Exeter Town Hall last week.
