(itl W OD K g Classified Ads will slide you in the right direction Relaxation and stress workshop to be held in Goderich Nov. 14 No matter what type of temperment a person has, no matter what line of work they are in, it is inevitable that they will eventually feel the effects of stress from one source or another. i. Fortunately, says relaxation expert Rita l.oftsgarb, the effects of stress need not be disasterous - they can be controlled. Loftsgarb, a practising massage therapist, who has worked for the National Department of Health and Welfare among other projects, is planning .to conduct a Workshop on Deep Relaxation and Stress Release Management, in Goderich. "There really isn't anyone who doesn't suffer from the negative effects of stress," Loftsgarb asserts. She said the workshop will be a combina- tion of theoretically and practical excer- 'cises, designed to help people handle stress and tension. ' Those participating "could expect to have a greater ability to handle things under pressure," and will "learn techni- ques that enable them to re -focus the mind and relax certain portions of the body," she said. "It will give them certain tools they can take into the world and use on a daily basis," such as breathing and massage techniques, she added. The workshop program is drawn from a number of other things Loftsgarb has studied, she said, including : Yoga, psychology, dream interpretation and massage. According to Loftsgarb, everyone needs to relax at times and some may not be maximizing the experience. "It's important for people to realize the difference between recreation and deep relaxation," she said. "It (deep relaxa- tion) is finding a stillness, as opposed to an activity". The workship will be held on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Victoria Public School Gymnasium. The cost is $35 and interested participants are asked to 'pre -register at the Goderich Recreation Office by Nov. 6.
