My Wonderful Yoga is a mobile studio offering Chair Yoga upon request at Retirement Homes, Warden Assisted Homes and Care Homes. Chairs will need to be provided at the venue. The sessions are a great way to build community spirit, mobilise and release the body and mind helping to relieve anxiety, stress, depression and may even reduce chronic pain.
Although the class is chair based, there will be movement of the whole body. There are many benefits yoga gives in more senior years of life. These include:-
Abdominal breathing and mindfulness - brings calmness, improves mental wellbeing, can help with sleep
Moving and mobilising joints - increases lubrication in the joint, eases pain and stiffness
Spinal movement - can help ease stiffness & maintain spine health
Hand function - keeps them supple, mobile, pain free, co-ordinated & maintains sensory capacity
Co-ordination, memory & cross-patterning - helps keep neural pathways active, maintains brain function – neural pathways can be developed at any age!
Brings a sense of community - to everyone so smiling and having fun is essential! If you'd like to bring some joy, movement & smiles to your Care Home or facility, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!
