Body Mind Fitness for Everyday Living - Body Mind Fitness for Everyday Living - Session II
Body Mind Fitness for Everyday LivingDates: Tuesdays, October 14-November 4Time: Session I: 9:30-10:30am Session II: 11:00-NoonWho: Ages 18 & UpFee: $80 (4 Wks)Location: The Brick Building, 97 School Street, CarlisleInstructor: Shirley Lynch, MSOT, LMT, Certified Aston Fitness™ InstructorLearn a gentle and effective fitness routine, based on principles of natural movement, designed to loosen, stretch, balance and tone your whole body. This sequenced approach begins with movements to release habitual tension and improve posture before adding exercises that build strength to avoid “toning in” or reinforcing poor postural habits that can contribute to repetitive strain, wear on your joints, and discomfort or pain. Exercises engage your natural ability to recycle the forces of gravity to reclaim balanced postural alignment, put spring back in your step, and live in your body more comfortably. Movement practices are based on principles of Aston Kinetics™ and Sensory Enhanced Yoga®. Each class will include movement applications for daily activities in order to sustain the benefits. We will be standing, seated, and on the floor. Please bring a yoga mat and a bath-size towel to class.Instructor Bio: Shirley Lynch, MS, OT, LMT, Certified Aston Practitioner™, is an occupational therapist and massage therapist in private practice in West Concord MA offering manual therapy, movement education and fitness.

Reluctant eaters learn that food is safe and fun! And everyone practices essential life skills like teamwork, time management, patience, along with the obvious skills like slicing, measuring, and cooking! On a mission to redefine kid food; Kids’ Test Kitchen’s enthusiastic Facilitators get eaters of all ages and abilities, cooking, tasting, and thinking about healthy ingredients! Kids’ Test Kitchen presents kids the opportunity to explore new or familiar foods in their raw, unmanipulated state. Then, working as a team, they’ll slice, dice, peel, measure, and cook until they’ve prepared the finished dish. Class closes with an opportunity to taste the result of their hard work. Students receive a printed recipe card and the focal ingredient - or a sample of the finished dish - so they can show off what they learned! Even the most reluctant eaters enjoy Kids’ Test Kitchen, where participation is encouraged, and the choice to taste is always one’s own. Lessons are planned to celebrate seasonal produce, whole grains, and legumes. Yes – join us again! Each series of classes offers fresh new recipes to prepare and explore! Kids have food allergies, but they shouldn’t miss out on the fun. We know allergies and can work around them, making sure that everyone is having fun and staying safe. *Families who have students with allergies or other necessary dietary modifications will be required to complete our diet modification form before the first class. Let us know about your student https://kidstestkitchen.com/prep

This sequenced approach begins with movements to release habitual tension and improve posture before adding exercises that build strength to avoid “toning in” or reinforcing poor postural habits that can contribute to repetitive strain, wear on your joints, and discomfort or pain. Exercises engage your natural ability to recycle the forces of gravity to reclaim balanced postural alignment, put spring back in your step, and live in your body more comfortably. Movement practices are based on principles of Aston Kinetics™ and Sensory Enhanced Yoga®. Each class will include movement applications for daily activities in order to sustain the benefits. We will be standing, seated, and on the floor. Please bring a yoga mat and a bath-size towel to class.Instructor Bio: Shirley Lynch, MS, OT, LMT, Certified Aston Practitioner™, is an occupational therapist and massage therapist in private practice in West Concord MA offering manual therapy, movement education and fitness.

It has long been identified that activities for our middle school children are a need in local communities. What better way to find out what our middle schoolers would like to participate in than to include our students in the brainstorming, planning, implementation and evaluation of a class or event. This opportunity will meet a well-known town need for middle school children and put Carlisle Recreation on the MAP for middle school programs. This will ultimately lead to a higher participation in recreation programs by middle school children as well. Space is limited to 10 students (to start). Sign up today and Get on the MAP!

Advanced players play with peers, but also are asked to team up with others to share ideas and skills. We share and rotate court time. We play in a supportive, positive environment. You will need to bring enthusiasm, a racket (we have them for evaluation, sale and a few to use until you get one) a change of court shoes (no outside shoes in the gym) and water. We provide shuttles, but you may use your own. This is a recreational and developmental program, and we share court time. Preregistration through the Carlisle Recreation is required. No play if schools are closed. You may register for either one or both nights for the season. We will limit the numbers of participants. You will check in each night. Open to those from surrounding towns.
