A big thank you to everyone who participated and/or contributed to our 4 yogathon events in Sandwich and Canterbury! The events were: yoga teachers' support group on 11th June at Canterbury Yoga Studio; chair-based yoga at Age Concern, Sandwich, 15th June; Friday reviving yoga group at Fitness Connection Gym, Sandwich, 17th June and yoga at Baypoint Club, Sandwich on 18th June. We raised £369-25p in total and had a lot of fun, as well as raising everyone's awareness in different ways. We commented on how practising sequences of poses in yoga reinforces memory. In the last three events we also tried out the kirtan kriya chanting meditation, which studies suggest can help to support memory (*see ref below). Try it to see what you think - contact me, Sue, if you would like more info. -
