Looking for a last minute gift idea for that CBC lover? Wordsworth Books in Uptown Waterloo is donating their profits of the sale of Christmas at the Vinyl Cafe to HopeSpring in memory of Stuart McLean, who passed away this year due to cancer.

Cambridge Meditation

Relaxation tools to take home with you

This program is especially suited to members who are trying meditation for the first time.

Cambridge Gentle Yoga for Symptom Management

Gentle exercise that's good for those in treatment

This is a gentle yoga to help exercise control over physical and emotional well-being by combining movements, breathing, stretching, body poses and meditation practice. This program is specifically for patients who have significant adverse physical symptoms (e.g., pain, instability, mobility problems due to surgery) that requires an especially gentle style of yoga that can be modified to each member's needs. The primary objective of this type of yoga session is symptom relief.

Better Sleep

Winter Session starts Jan 3

Having difficulty falling asleep at night? Do you wake during the night and struggle to get back to sleep? Do you wake feeling tired? Do you have troubles settling your busy brain at night?

This program provides an overview of what robs us of energizing sleep and presents strategies to decrease insomnia through effective sleep behaviours, setting realistic sleep goals, relaxing the body and resting a busy brain. Over this 5-week program, members will learn sleep strengthening behaviours and techniques that prepare the mind and body for a restful night.

Thanks to The Guelph Community Foundation for their support of the Better Sleep program. <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=a0cb577f68&e=ece80c31c3>
