If you have been wondering why there has been so much activity in the Wing Village Hall this week there is a week-long workshop given by our own Stewart Hamblin and his American mentor, Michelle Turner, teaching parents how to improve the movement of their, sometimes disabled, offspring using the Feldenkrais method based techniques that Michelle has extended for her own child.

Parents have come from all over Europe to attend this workshop and the atmosphere in the Hall has to be seen to be believed.

This is Part 1 of 4 workshops. Stewart and Michelle plan to run the follow-on workshops starting next year. Of course, Stewart treats many of our local residents too, either in one of his many classes, Yoga, Pilates or Feldenkrais, or one-on-one, as he does with me, helping me recover from a stroke.
