Caring for someone else can be rewarding and enriching, but also often takes a toll on you. It is important to be as comfortable as possible in your own skin so that you can continue to care for your loved one in a positive way. The workshop 'Chair yoga for caregivers' gives you a helping hand. The yoga is taught by a certified chair yoga teacher.
Chair yoga is the most approachable form of yoga. Suitable for everyone, young, old, limber or stiff, experienced or completely inexperienced; everyone can participate. There is movement according to ability with respect for what the body can or cannot do. Through stretching exercises we try to make the muscles and joints more flexible. Relaxation and breathing exercises calm the body and brain.
After the workshop there will be an opportunity to have coffee/tea together. Please provide easy fitting clothing.
Chair yoga will be held on different dates in different communities. For more information or to sign up, visit mantelzorgenmeer.nl
Chair yoga is for family caregivers living in the municipalities of Aalsmeer, Amstelveen, Haarlemermeer, Uithoorn and in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel.
Participation is free of charge.
