Who are our community wellbeing programs aimed at?
Community means different things to different people.
Your community may be geographic—your neighbourhood, or town, or local council area.
Your community may be a grouping of people who live in different areas but share something in common. It may be an attitude or a health condition; it could be language, faith, an interest, or something else.
Why Laughter Yoga is Brilliant for Community Wellness Programs
Laughter Yoga is adaptable, accessible, and inclusive. It’s for all ages and all abilities—and let’s not forget that laughter is a universal language.
On top of all that, Laughter Yoga has proven physical, mental health and social benefits.
HeatherJoy uses the therapeutic benefits of laughter through the practice of Laughter Yoga, as well as drawing on evidence-based science of happiness research.
Why Ageless Grace suits Community Wellness Programs
If there’s one thing HeatherJoy enjoys as much as laughing, it’s moving to music.
Ageless Grace is proven to be good for body and brain health.
As a seated movement to music program, it creates a level playing field so that anyone can take part, yet it does so much more, including:
- effortlessly enhancing better balance with its respond, react, recover practice
- stimulating the brain as it figures out how to do the tools seated, rather than standing
- tapping into memories and encouraging imagination and playfulness.
Grounded in the latest neuroscience and gerontology research, it’s found to help people diagnosed with dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
