What is Pilates??!
- Becoming more popular
- Modality of exercise that feels good – something we get to do and enjoy
- Some Rotarians are clients even!
- Helps all systems in the body not just the muscles
- Exercises were done to undertake mind engaging muscles – mindful movement
- We don’t need to have pain – use mind to engage muscles and stop us having a stack (fall)
- Lymphatic fluid is pumped by muscles, so we need to move lifting heel off the ground is best way to move Lymphatic system
- Pain is a way of body telling you something needs to change
- Di’s passion is for everyone to lead a long, happy and flexible life!

Kerith Cummins - EarlyAct
Thank you to those who assisted with EarlyAct today – Quadtrail project finished today.
- EarlyAct students have been fundraising for a new tap on the school oval for nearly 12 months and have finally reached their goal. This term, all classes undertook a Small Change for a Big Change initiative, with students donating coins throughout the term. On Tuesday 1 July, the classes made coin trails with their collected coins, a fun activity that involved the whole school and raised the amount of $479.05. Rotary has been approached to provide a plaque to be placed near the new tap when it is installed on the oval to acknowledge the efforts and assistance of the EarlyAct club.
