Special class for caregivers & their friend/family member with memory loss. This program is adapted from the tai chi for Health series developed by Dr. Paul Lam. Combining different tai chi styles, this slow, gentle practice is designed to improve heart/lung function, immunity, strength, flexibility, and balance, while reducing stress and lifting your mood. All abilities welcome. Classes will be approx. 45 minutes and can be done seated/standing or a combination of both. Comfortable clothes, sneakers.
Onsite respite can also be provided with prior notification.
This wellness offering is sponsored by the Finger Lakes Caregiver Institute at Lifespan and funded in part by a grant from the New York State Department of Health. With a special invitation to caregivers and people living with memory loss, the series is open to all who seek to enhance their own physical/mental well-being.
