We have exciting news! Sensei Jim has taken a new job in London, ON and we are moving as soon as our house sells! What this means is that 2 of our original students, and now Black Belts have graciously agreed to take over the Club and continue on. We will be re-opening Personal Best in London once we get settled.
Watch for our new contact info and I will post the new Timmins info once all the details are finalized.
Thanks Sensei Moe and Sensei Gaetan!

Click the cover for the latest issue of our National newsletter – The Harmonizer. There are some amazing things going on within our organization!
This is the very first video that we have made of our student, Chris D. demonstrating Pinan Yodan. We are very excited about adding videos to our website and hope that you will enjoy them also! Thanks Chris for being brave enough to do this for us…you’re awesome!
We are very excited to announce that we now have our own website and domain! We can now be found at www.personalbestwadokai.com. We will be busy adding to and fine-tuning this site for the next few months-we have a lot of great things to share with everyone, including articles on fitness and nutrition, karate videos, karate podcasts, upcoming events, great photography and so much more!
Our site will most likely transform itself a few times as I learn more about widgets and plugins. Stay tuned!
Sensei Jim and his daughter.

| Article below is a condensed version from my copy of this amazing book. It’s from pages 13-15. |
Step by Step
Lie prone on the floor. Stretch your legs back, tops of the feet on the floor. Spread your hands on the floor under your shoulders. Hug the elbows back into your body.
Press the tops of the feet and thighs and the pubis firmly into the floor.
On an inhalation, begin to straighten the arms to lift the chest off the floor, going only to the height at which you can maintain a connection through your pubis to your legs. Press the tailbone toward the pubis and lift the pubis toward the navel. Narrow the hip points. Firm but don’t harden the buttocks.
Firm the shoulder blades against the back, puffing the side ribs forward. Lift through the top of the sternum but avoid pushing the front ribs forward, which only hardens the lower back. Distribute the backbend evenly throughout the entire spine.
Hold the pose anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds, breathing easily. Release back to the floor with an exhalation.
Benefits
I look forward to sharing my love of Yoga and fitness with you.
