JOHN YAP PROVINCIAL MLA

Yap Announces - Keeping BC Strong
Visit John's website at: www.johnyap.ca

As the new year of 2009 unfolds, the economy is on everyone's mind. Our BC Liberal government has brought in a budget for these financially uncertain times, with major investments in infrastructure, which will create jobs throughout B.C. and continue investments in key programs like health care and education. B.C. is well positioned to get through this economic slowdown thanks to our government's prudent fiscal management. We also have the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympics Games to look forward to. The Games will inject economic activity and create jobs, including here in Richmond with our Olympic Oval. The soon-to-be completed Canada Line will also generate new economic opportunities for our community.

I am honoured to serve as your MLA for Richmond-Steveston and will be seeking re-election on May 12, 2009. I look forward to meeting you on the campaign trail! If you have any questions, please call our office at 778-297-1948 or email john.yap@bcliberals.com. Also find me on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/John-Yap/20093783127 and on Twitter with the user name JohnYapMLA.

PENNY ALLPORT

The Re-enchantment of the Body, Movement and Life With Penny Allport Breathe Move Sound Open Inquire Dive…………… into the wellspring of resource we call a body. Explore the body as a living activity, rather than something to be controlled, shaped, fixed and objectified.

It’s Springtime in the body!!
Perfect time to discover the body freshly, move freely and drink deeply the plenitude that is your birthrite!
These classes are a fusion of twenty-five years of explorations in Fitness, Yoga, Continuum Movement (www.continuummovement.com) Perceptual Inquiry, Em’oceans & Sensations (www.continuummontage.com), personal healing and Penny’s passionate inquiry into the myths, taboos and cultural beliefs about what it means to have a body, be in a body and be an embodied human.

Some of the benefits of “working in” this way are:
 an increased sense of vitality and wholeness
 restoration of trust in the body
 inspired creativity
 fresh new ways of perceiving self and others
 fluid strength through pleasurable, gentle and innovative play
 a supportive environment to unfold hidden potential for movement, embodied consciousness and healing
