‘Yoga for over 50’s’ at Dunsborough and Districts Country Club, for ladies AND gentlemen ~
Beginners welcome !
In the words of local Dunsborough resident and yoga instructor Mandy Lancellas ‘I thrive on encouraging those who feel they ‘can’t do yoga’ to become those who can, by exploring the multiple benefits for the body, mind and soul. Gentle Hatha Yoga enables the body and mind to find calm and focus in the present moment. It is through breath awareness that we manage to realign our physical body with the mental and energetic systems. Our main focus is safe and effective alignment, to create awareness, strength and mobility. As we grow older the saying of ‘what we do not use, we loose’ begins to resonate with us more and more and so its vital to keep the body moving in a gentle and safe way, maintaining a healthy range of movement throughout our senior years and reducing the risks of injury.’
Mandy invites anyone who is interested to join this gentle and safe yoga practice, suitable for all levels including beginners and people over 50.
Date: Wednesdays
Time: 9:00 am
Venue: Dunsborough and Districts Country Club
Cost: $15
* Please bring a blanket for relaxation (as well as your own yoga mat if you have one).
* Yoga mats available for hire $3
For any queries (or to book a yoga mat) please call Mandy Lancellas 047 505 7294

On 20th December croquet section held their annual Christmas gala day. The weather was perfect for the day.
Juist over 30 croquet players turned up, some dressed up for Christmas and others came along and had a real fun time trying different strategies of croquet.
There were lot of laughter, plenty of good fun completion, followed by a great Christmas buffet lunch. Many thanks to all the players who volunteered in setting up the courts, the table and decorations. A job well done.
There were many individual prizes with Brian Uren taking out the Gala day Trophy, which he can hold for a year. Congratulations to all winners and not so lucky winners. Let’s do it all again next year.
