Tutor; Paul Boizot
A WEA (Workers Educational Association) course.
How can you help yourself to be healthy? How do lifestyles and attitudes
affect health? We will look at diet and nutrition, posture,
relaxation, stress, complementary therapies, and more. We will also
discuss the background to our ideas about health - what is health, where
do we get our knowledge or beliefs about health from? Students' own
ideas and experiences are expected to contribute a lot to the
discussion.
The course is discussion-based, with also some breathing, movement and
relaxation, including some yoga-based postures and stretches - but
nothing too energetic! please let the tutor know before the course if
you are unable to do gentle stretches, or unable to get down to lie on
the floor.
There will be flexibility to reflect students' interests and
preferences. A session of circle dance is an option if the group wishes.
(TBC at the event if the room is suitable).
Loose comfortable clothing would be best for doing stretches, and a yoga mat or blanket may be useful.
The venue is Hinsley Hall, in Headingley. It is only one and a half
miles from the centre of Leeds, and is set in four acres of grounds. It
is easily accessible by public transport and has plenty of car parking.
