WHAT’S ON - MAY 2024

ONLINE PORTAL ACCESS

We have changed the way members gain access to our online learning portal. Members now set their own password to gain access.

What’s happening at Circles of Willow?

At Circle of Willow we empower our clients and promote holistic wellness. Our women’s circles continue. Unknown a few years ago, the awareness circles is gaining popularity. They are all different. We use validated principles to guide us: movement, mindfulness and connection are key elements in our service provision. For more information visit www.circlesofwillow.com or contact Merima 0422 419 793 meerim@circlesofwillow.com

You may have seen me in the dojo conducting warm up exercises. Thank you WBMA for the opportunity. As a physiotherapist, I have worked with movement for the past 44 years. Our neurodiverse arm offers both individual and small group exercise.

This space is a perfect transitional opportunity for those children easily overwhelmed. We are growing and exploring engaging ways to use exercise as a tool to promote wellness, integration and self-regulation in neurodiverse people. It is a new initiative, visit www.circlesofwillow.com/meurodiverse Kindly, help us raise awareness of this service.

Any questions are always welcome. Phone Merima 0422 419 793

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.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Available to karate and tai chi students, these 30 minute or 1 hour sessions are held on Friday evening or Saturday afternoon. The benefit of private lessons is that you receive tuition that is specifically tailored to your needs. Parents often chose private lessons for their children. The individual tuition ensures a rapid uptake of basic skills that can then be practiced and developed in class. Please email Bree here or call 0419364320 for more information and bookings.
