🌿 On June 21, let’s celebrate International Yoga Day by highlighting the benefits of this gentle and accessible practice for seniors living with dementia. At Hope for Dementia, we firmly believe that mental well-being also comes through the body—and that even simple actions can make a big difference.
🧘♀️ Why is yoga beneficial for seniors with cognitive impairment?
Yoga stimulates blood circulation, improves balance, reduces anxiety, and promotes relaxation—all factors that help slow cognitive decline and improve quality of life. This doesn’t involve complex postures, but gentle movements accompanied by breathing and mindfulness techniques.
✅ Through our Intergenerational Learning Program, young volunteers can also help seniors use tablets to follow online yoga sessions or practice in small groups, creating valuable human connections while strengthening cognitive abilities.
🙏 On this International Yoga Day, we invite you to take a break, breathe deeply… and consider how a simple practice can pave the way to better brain health.
🧠 At Hope for Dementia, we work every day to prevent dementia, slow its effects, and support those who are affected by it. Together, let’s cultivate well-being, one breath at a time.
