Dharma Yoga with Justine
Location: The Trend Arlington Community Centre at 50 Bellman Dr.
Cost: $10/person. Please send e-transfer to treasurer@trendarlington.ca or bring cash
Join us for a Dharma yoga class with Justine Hoang.
What to bring: A yoga mat and water
The class type: Dharma yoga, which is a challenging class but can be done by participants of all skill levels. Dharma yoga includes a progressive series of vinyasa sequences designed to allow the free flow of prana energy up and down the spine and throughout the physical body and mind. The postures include stretching, twists, balancing poses, backbends and some inversions. Because Dharma Yoga has several series vinyasas, it can be practiced by yogis at the level appropriate to their skills.
The teacher: The class will be led by Justine Hoang, a kind and experienced yoga practitioner. Check out her website: http://justinesyogaspace.com/
Please show up 10 minutes early to pay, set up and chat with your neighbours! If you show up late, please just quietly join the class.

Yoga - Gentle Flow with Tiffany
Location: The Trend Arlington Community Centre at 50 Bellman Dr.
Cost: $10/person. Please send e-transfer to treasurer@trendarlington.ca or bring cash
The class type: A gentle flow class which is accessible for beginners and intermediate students. It starts off slowly as we turn inwards with meditation, with a flow of one movement leading into the other, and then a cool down session of holding poses for longer, followed by Savasana.
The cost: $10 per person. We will be accepting e-transfers to treasurer@trendarlington.ca or cash when you arrive
What to bring: A yoga mat and water
The teacher: The class will be led by Tiffany Wallace. Tiffany became aware of the habitual and unconscious muscle tensing that we store in different areas of our bodies. Moment by moment, we may habitually tense these muscles without knowing. Tiffany invites you to use playful and intuitive movement as we flow through sequences that relax shoulders and open hips. By noticing what is naturally happening within our bodies, we can start to bring awareness to the areas in which we store our emotions, and as a result bringing more mobility and ease into the entire body. It wasn't until Tiffany learned to truly let go by becoming a student of yoga and therapy where she was able to notice significant relief. Tiffany hopes to create a space where you can relax your shoulders and hips, and open your heart.
Please show up 10 minutes early to pay, set up and chat with your neighbours! If you show up late, please just quietly join the class.

Shakespeare in the Park - Hamlet
Summer is almost here, and that means Shakespare-in-the-Park season is right around the corner! a Company of Fools' absolutely killer team is ready to bring you a Hamlet that’s bigger and better than ever. There will be PUPPETS, there will be SWORDFIGHTS, and there might even be a SCARY GHOST !? All we’re missing now … is you!
The performance takes place in the park behind the tennis courts. Walking is encouraged, but parking is available at the community centre or Knoxdale Public School parking lot.
Bring a lawn chair, some mosquito spray, and a donation of $20 per family/household. TACA will also be selling concessions, so bring some extra cash for treats!
About the Show
Returning home to attend her father’s funeral, Hamlet discovers that another ceremony has already taken place: the marriage of her mother to her uncle. That’s right, her dead father’s brother. When Hamlet is visited by her father’s ghost demanding that she avenge his murder, Hamlet begins to wonder – is it she who has gone mad or everyone around her?
Join the Fools this summer as we delve into the depths of the human experience and have a few laughs along the way. Whether you’re a Shakespeare nerd or this is your first foray with the Bard since high school, our Foolish take on Hamlet has something for everyone.
Run Time: A cool 90-minutes
