Work Your Body… Relax Your Mind
Bay Path University Occupational Therapy students are back with a program designed just for us. This weekly series begins February 7 and will include exercise and strengthening groups focusing on balance and fall prevention while incorporating relaxation techniques and breathing strategies. This free program will be held at 11 a.m. each Thursday in the Dining Room at the Senior Center.
We are looking for Setback players! We hope to schedule a group to play on Tuesday afternoons at 1 p.m. or Friday mornings at 10 a.m. Please let Mary Lou or me know if you are interested!
Other things coming up that we are working on:
• Ethnic lunch menu on one Wednesday and one Thursday each month
• Senior Cardio Kick Boxing program
• Chair Yoga
• Trip Schedule
As always, please let us know if you have an idea on a new program!
