Quite often when I am riding my bike around town I catch myself smiling – a big toothy grin for no particular reason other than I love riding my bike. I get a different perspective of the world than I do in my car. The wind in my hair, the smell of the flowers, the sounds of the neighbourhood, and even the bugs in me teeth – I love it all! I love the feeling in my body as I bike – knowing that my bones and muscles are working together with gravity to propel me down the road. Cycling brings me back to feeling like a kid at times because there is a huge sense of freedom and adventure. I guess that is why you will sometimes see me smiling as I bike by.

Next week is Bike to Work Week and because we love biking so much here, we are making it Bike to Hemma Week as well.  Arrive at Hemma on your bike between May 27th and June 2nd to enter a draw for free Yoga and Acupuncture. See you on your bike!!

In honor of International Workers Day
we are waiving the $10 New Patient Fee

Bring yourself, a friend, family, or co-worker!

Affordable, Effective…Community Acupuncture

A reminder that this Sunday is the day of the Times Colonist 10K running race.  If you are coming to hemma in the morning, and arriving by car, make sure to check the map on the TC 10K website to find the best route.  The runners will be coming down Moss, right by hemma!  All runners should have passed by 10-10:30 am.  After the run, drop in from 2-3pm for a restorative class designed specifically for runners which will be led by avid yogi and runner, Tracey Cook!

This Sunday also marks our 6th year offering free acupuncture in honor of International Workers Day.  The actual International Workers Day is on May 1st, May Day!  We will be offering free treatments on Sunday from 10-3.  It’s best to phone ahead and book a time, as it is often a busy day, however we will try our best to accommodate walk-ins.  If you are new to hemma its a good time to drop in, ask questions, and try us out!
