ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
My name is Caleigh and I am very excited to teach free classes at the Ritchie Community League this summer. I have a 200H Yoga Teacher Training certificate in Vinyasa Yoga and have been practicing for many years. Yoga is meant for all bodies, regardless of experience or ability. Take rest, challenge yourself, and always do what feels right for you. I am here to guide you through a gentle and energizing practice that will set you up for a great week. I look forward to meeting you on the mat.

WHAT IS A MEN’S SHED?
Men’s Sheds started in Australia over 30 years ago when a few retired guys got together to restore furniture and fix lawn mowers. There are now thousands of Sheds across the world, including over 10 in the Edmonton area. Each one is unique in that the men decide what they want to do. Many start as informal coffee gatherings and grow into collaborating on projects for companionship, training, teaching, mentoring, and to improve their community.
Learn more about Men’s Sheds here: https://mensshedscanada.ca/
WHY A RITCHIE SHED?
In Ritchie, there have been few opportunities for guys to gather together and share stories. Our Shedders do that and also put their combined experience to good use, helping to maintain and improve our community facilities.
Our Shed is led by two community members, Dan and Doug, who have been with our Shed since the beginning. As a very experienced certified carpenter, Dan regularly brings his youthful community insights, professional guidance, job safety and quality control skills to our Shed. A retired banker, Doug loves coffee chats and herding the guys to dive into hands-on projects. Each week is different.
Please feel free to contact either one of them at their numbers above.
MEN’S SHEDS BENEFITS THEIR MEMBERS:
By having fun! They enjoy activities they have always loved or discover new ones.
By making friends.
By getting involved in their community.
By having a chance to share their own knowledge or skills, and learn from others.
By being in a place where they can be themselves.
By experiencing support that can enhance mental health.
By reducing isolation.
