Traditional Wisdom – Modern Practice
The ChiBall Method™ is a potent combination of ancient Eastern and modern Western exercises that will bring your mind into focus and your body into shape.
Summer Warmth and Winter Rest
 As this edition of the newsletter goes out, we are in the depths of winter here in the southern hemisphere whilst the northern hemisphere is enjoying the high summer season. We are the yin to the yang of the North.
It is extraordinary the difference a few degrees angle of tilt from the Sun makes to our daylight hours and temperatures. What is even more interesting is the effect these seasonal changes have on our lives and wellbeing.
In these two short articles we offer insights into the seasons according to Traditional Chinese Medicine and tips for staying healthy.

New UK Office
 We are happy to announce that Maria Pinn, a former UK resident and, more recently, a ChiBall Teacher from Sydney, has returned home to the UK to set up the UK ChiBall Office.
Due to the growth of ChiBall in Europe, Maria has been employed by ChiBall to support European ChiBall Teachers and to provide them with a local point of contact.
Maria, along with the UK master trainers, Sue Woodd, Sandie Keane, Emma Backshall, and Beko Kaygee, are all looking forward to reconnecting with the ChiBall Family over the next few months. Please see our contact us page for more information about how to get in touch with our UK office.

Online Class Finder Coming Soon!
 The Official ChiBall Class Finder is on it's way! We've working hard at developing a searchable online directory for ChiBall Teachers to post their classes and for participants to find them!
The Class Finder will enable teachers to create and manage their classes, and for anyone to search for nearby classes by entering a local region or postcode. Classes can be displayed in both filtered-list and GoogleMaps formats -- you can even enter an address and we'll map out driving or walking directions for you!
Certified Teachers will soon be receiving an invitation to start adding their classes to the directory -- so be sure to get your assessments in and keep an eye out for this! If you are unsure if you are in our Teachers database, please contact education@chiball.com for more information.
