EXCELLENT PROGRESS

Just a little shout out to all our students at Wellbeing Martial arts!

Geoff and Bree are just so happy to see the progression of students in all facets of our martial arts - karate, tai chi, h-singi, ba gua and weaponry. Every session we can see students improve, well done and keep up the great work👏

EXTENDED ADULT KARATE CLASSES

We invite all of our adult karate students to join us for extended classes. Next session is this weekend, Saturday 16th March from 11:00am to 1:00pm. These longer sessions allow us to continue our fun and explore various aspects of karate in more detail, and really get our sweat on!!😁💗

What’s happening at Circles of Willow?

Our Women’s Circles continue to provide a gentle soulful space for women. But this month we opened Circles of Willow: Neurodiverse. Assessments are underway and our parent child physio groups begin 02/03/2024 at 10:30a.m. Irrefutable evidence from Dr Edward M. Hallowell and Dr John J. Ratey (ADHD 2.0, Ballantine Books) underlies our philosophy.

Physio or OT (Occupational Therapy)?

Physiotherapists and Occupational therapists often work together. There is overlap in what each discipline has to offer. Physiotherapy is not always at the forefront in managing ASD children. But paediatric physiotherapists Dr Sarah Redman APAM and Lisa Truscott APAM have identified five facts endorsing physiotherapy in ASD children. Kindly view www.circlesofwillow.com/neuroddiverse under the heading ‘What is Circles of Willow neurodiverse?’

Children may have an overlap of ADHD and ASD. Movement difficulties are prevalent in both groups. Physios are specifically trained in movement rehabilitation. Many people are finding long wait times for therapy. We currently have limited spaces available. Contact Merima 0422419 793 or email merima@circlesofwillow.com if you’d like to know more.

TUESDAY EVENING TAI CHI

We are currently offering 2 free trial lessons for new tai chi students on Tuesday evenings (7.30pm-8:30pm) if you would like to give it a go. Classes are at SUNBURY WEST PRIMARY SCHOOL GYM which has plenty of room for tai chi and weaponry. Please let Bree or Geoff know if you or someone you know would like to try, no experience needed. Email either of us;
