Seniors in Nursing Homes
YAMH has led meditation and yoga sessions at nursing homes for elderly people. The COVID pandemic had at the time made nursing homes more isolating, as seniors were generally restricted from going out, out of health concerns. YAMH collaborated with nursing homes to start mindfulness sessions at the facilities to help seniors de-stress, relax, and stay active physically. Some elders suffer from conditions that pervent them from practicing yoga on the mat, and they would practice yoga on the chair, or the so called chair yoga. And, everyone could practice mindfulness meditation.
The feedback from the seniors were very positive, and they enjoyed the sessions! Some seniors commented that these sessions helped them become more calm and embraced the life at the nursing home more.
