Sheltered Residents are Finding their Zen!
Yoga 4 All has visited and provided an hour session of seated yoga at Great Mead, Nayland House and The Jordans and will be visiting Furzefield in April. Between 3-8 residents have attended at the schemes and have enjoyed the sessions each week.
The course is 5 weeks long and involves a variety of different stretches which help with mobility, increase of flexibility, whilst improving core strength and balance. Yoga also helps to promote better breathing technique and increases oxygen intake which of course helps with mental health and improves positive feelings.
Here is what the residents are saying:
‘I had serious breathing problems and attending Yoga 4 All has been a medical miracle, I can breathe a lot better. It’s made me come out of my flat and be more sociable’
‘Exercise like yoga gets your endorphins going, calms you down and you can go out in a completely different mood, it’s built my confidence’
Yoga 4 All will be starting sessions on Thursday 21st April at 15:30 for 1 hour at Furzefield. If you are interested in attending, please contact Neve Barr on 01702534657
