Healthy Moments Yoga for Everyone… continued from page 13 flexible and strong to do Yoga. It is unfortunate that most Yoga book-covers show extremely advanced Yogis in positions that are simply not possible for most people. Meditation is the key to accessing the core self and like all worthwhile skills must be learned and practiced. Yoga is helpful but not essential to becoming an adept meditator. There are also many helpful modalities which can assist the body and mind to relax and promote the healing of both physical and emotional wounds. There is the ancient Hawaiian ‘handson’ healing art of LomiLomi which must be experienced since words cannot do it justice. There is Shiatsu which uses finger pressure on specific body points to promote wellness. There is Reiki , which translated from the Japanese means ‘Universal Divine Energy’, and is practised with a light placing of hands which feels lovely even to those who are experiencing painful conditions. No matter your age, make a wish for wellness and come see what your community has to offer! Heli Bucek Evolution Yoga and Wellness, Campbellford Your opinion is important to us!
