Chair Yoga for Mental Health and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Описание: Chair yoga offers a gentle, supportive way to enhance your mental well-being and manage symptoms of MCI. Through mindful movement and breathwork, chair yoga can help reduce stress, improve focus, and boost your mood. Join us as we explore these accessible exercises designed to support your journey towards better mental health and cognitive function. Let's move together towards a calmer, more centered state of mind.

Taking care of our mental health involves both the small daily practices and seeking professional support when needed. It's important not to overlook the value of self-care routines like exercise, meditation, and hobbies, as they contribute to our overall well-being. At the same time, there's no shame in reaching out for professional help, whether it's therapy, medication, or support groups. Let's break the stigma around mental health and embrace all avenues of support available to us.

CEP Community Live is a supportive space that offers weekly informative videos and discussions for those with early-stage memory loss, also known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), their care partners and families, and clinicians.

MCI is a condition characterized by a noticeable decline in memory and cognitive abilities that is greater than what would be considered normal for a person's age but not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life activities. It is a transitional stage between normal age-related cognitive changes and more serious cognitive impairment, such as dementia.

CEP Community Live is supported by the Harriet and Charlie Shaffer Cognitive Empowerment Program. Through a unique research partnership with Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Cognitive Empowerment program is a research program designed to co-create a sustainable learning community that promotes joy, purpose, brain health, and wellness through innovation and personalized lifestyle programs, technologies, and physical environments.

Our vision is to empower people facing memory loss and cognitive changes by creating an evidence-based model for lifestyle interventions that can be replicated nationally and internationally.

Our programming includes cognitive training, physical training, nutrition, support groups, and a host of other topics to increase their sense of empowerment and community and hopefully decrease their symptoms.
