By Tristan Hiegler of the Leader The group of elementary-school- age children running around the Recreation Center gym in Port Townsend weren’t engaged in normal sports activities. They were practic- ing flips on inflatable equipment, balancing on a brightly colored beam and working their way across a min- iature climbing wall. The children were participants in the rec center’s Kid Fit program, a 4-year-old series of exercises meant to encourage plenty of activity. Kaylie Webber, recreation aide supervisor, said the program doesn’t focus on competitive sports, but a variety of activities that get kids involved and active. “This program is designed to get kids moving,” Webber said. The Kid Fit classes are just some of the options available for kids (and adults) from the county Recreation Department and the Jefferson County YMCA during the winter. The center offers the classes for ages 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 6-8. The cur- rent round of sessions runs until Dec. 13. The next set of sessions starts on Jan. 8, and the third set begins on Feb. 19. Webber added that she is hoping to take the program on the road to the Chimacum, Quilcene and Brinnon school districts to supple- ment their PE classes. ChimaCum Creek The YMCA is expanding it slate of after-school activities for the win- ter. The After the Bell program at Chimacum Creek Primary School, which debuted in the fall, is going to include more programs and service projects after students return from the winter break. Brady Usher, program coordina- tor for the Chimacum program, said the program is for first- through fifth-graders and runs Monday- Friday, 3:30-5:30 p.m. He said the program’s activities include home- work tutoring, robotics, arts and crafts, and cooking. “It’s all been really positive,” Usher said of the response to the new program. The After the Bell program has partnered with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition to offer environ- mental education and several ser- vice projects, Usher said. He noted that the YMCA and the coalition are planning a cleanup of Irondale Beach sometime in January. After the Bell also takes place at Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend. Erica Delma, YMCA program executive, said the Blue Heron program is going to be adding Olympic-style fencing to the mix. Delma said the YMCA has old fencing equipment from a previous program for both adults and chil- dren. “I think it’s awesome to offer a fitness activity that is inter-genera- tional,” Delma said. “[Fencing] is a sport with such history.” The YMCA also offers tutoring for Blue Heron students. Stacey Larsen, youth development coordina- tor for the YMCA, said the tutoring offered in the fall was just for student athletes. “My main concern is that every- body gets suited up and plays in the game,” Larsen said of the YMCA’s dedication to supporting the newly returned Blue Heron sports pro- gram. “They didn’t do middle school sports last year, so we’re just trying to support the athletes as much as possible.” The tutoring, all done by volunteers, is going to be opened up to the whole student body, going for- ward, Larsen said. The rec center has open hours throughout the week. Jess Winsheimer, recreation aide super- visor, said children are welcome to come in and play pool, pingpong, air hockey, basketball and various board games. The center has open hours of 2-7 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Thursday; 1-7 p.m., Wednesday; 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday; and 9 a.m.-9 p.m. on Saturday. There are no open hours on Sunday. adult programs Delma said the YMCA is continu- ing its Exercise and Thrive program for post-treatment cancer patients throughout the winter. The program is in partnership with Jefferson Healthcare. “The response from participants has been great, and the next session starts in February,” Delma said. She added that the YMCA is offering an art appreciation class and a leather-working class for adults in December. Exact start dates have yet to be determined. The YMCA also is planning a computer literacy class for adults in the winter. Delma said she’s hoping to have high school students volun- teer as tutors and host the class in the high school’s computer room.

Yoga For the Right Now MomentYoga is an ancient art that helps the practitioner,

or yogi, move into a more realized and often healthier relationship with their current individual body. Life is a gift we didn’t create. A miracle happening to us right now, even when the right now is in transition or uncomfortable. Through the practice of yoga the awareness that we are not only one local body but also the speci� c expression of the totality in body develops and grows until it sees itself as the pre-existing truth of who we really are.

At Tenderpaws Nöle and Gary teach what we call Lila Yoga. This is “the Yoga of Divine Play where the opposites hold hands, hold each other inside of one heart.”

Both Nöle and Gary teach a gentle but deep form of yoga combining breath work, movement or asana, meditation and sound as well as o� erings that come from their personal practice. Nöle is a level 3 certi� ed i-Rest teacher. She specializes in Yoga Nidra for emotional as well as physical life challenges. Gary continues his work with illness and injury recovery begun at the Hospital. Lila Yoga is safe for all levels all bodies and all ages.
