Block Therapy Classes

The Herman Prior Activity Centre has purchased a membership for access to all Block Therapies programs, pretty much they cover all parts of the body so if you have an area you are interested in we can see if we can fit a lesson on that in. We will start off with the basics.

We purchased 10 blocks for people to use, you can also order a block through us for yourself, which will include a starter package so you can do more at home if you wish.

Square Dancing

Thursdays 7pm

A square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers in total) arranged in a square, with one couple on each side, facing the middle of the square. Square dances were first documented in 16th-century England but were also quite common in France and throughout Europe. They came to North America with the European settlers and have undergone considerable development there. In some countries and regions, through preservation and repetition, square dances have attained the status of a folk dance.

Taoist Tai Chi

Mondays 7pm, Wednesdays 9:30am

Many of the health benefits claimed are related to the relaxation aspects of the Taoist Tai Chi set. The long stretches in the set may reduce tension at a muscular level and the slow pace of the set can create both mental and physical relaxation. The society claims that by relaxing the mind during Tai Chi the brain requires less blood and nutrients and that this allows the rest of the body to make use of these. This all may act to calm the heart and mind, while possibly improving strength and reducing overall stress.
