Women learn
about health
care choices

WOULD MOST women buy a car
or a computer or clothes or grocer-
ies without shopping around?
Probably not. Yet, most women
undergo major treatment based on
one practitioner’s opinion.

Skills used to make decisions in
the marketplace can be transferred
to the health care domain.

North Shore Continuing Educa-
tion is offering a course called
Women as Health Care Consumers
on Monday, Jan. 29 from 7 to 9:30
p.m. at Carson Graham Secondary
School, 2145 Jones Ave., North
Vancouver.

The course will help women
sharpen and share their consumer
capabilities in the health care
system. Participants will discuss:

communication — skills, practical
ways to select and visit practi-
tioners, where to find and under-
stand reliable information, second
opinions, common procedures for
women and individual prevention
Strategies.

The instructor is Robin Barnett
who has been active in women’s
health issues for almost 10 years.
She is the co-author of A Feminist
Approach to Pap Tests, and has
also done research and developed
materials and programs about
STDs including AIDS,
gynecological concerns, hysterec-
tomy and general self-help issues.

Correct body posture

“AN AWARENESS Through

Movement program is being of-
fered at recCentre Lonsdale on
Tuesdays beginning Jan. 16.

Taught by Anna Haltrecht, the
classes, which rur from 8 to 9:30
p.m., are based on the teachings of
Moshe Feldenkrais.

The program focuses on gentle
non-strenuous movements that ac-
tivate the body’s enormous capaci-
ty for self-correction. As a result,
the participant learns how to move
with more ease and fluidity, as well
as improving posture and
breathing.

Other benefits are relaxation,
pain and tension release, and in-
creased flexibility.

Haltrecht has over 15 years ex-
perience in movement education
and performing arts and is a cer-
tified Feldenkrais practitioner. She
is also a dancer and choreographer
with Metropolis Dance Company
which uses some movements deriv-
ed from the Feldenkrais Method.

Pre-registration is advised. For
more information drop by recCen-
tre Lonsdale at 123 E. 23rd St. or
