In the ProCurand Elderly Residential Home Am Görnsee In Kloster Lehnin there is a new regular activity: around 16 residents took part in the first chair yoga session in the winter garden.
A qualified yoga instructor demonstrated various breathing and perception exercises, as well as gentle movements that are easy to perform while seated. The focus is on relaxation, conscious breathing and one's own body awareness.
The first session was well received by the participants. The calm atmosphere in the winter garden and the joint exercises ensured a relaxed morning.
In future, chair yoga will take place every Friday, thereby offering residents a regular opportunity for exercise and relaxation.
„The participants really enjoyed it. That's why we're pleased that chair yoga is now taking place with us every Friday,“ reports Louisa Nachtigall from administration.
