Proven to enhance wellbeing,
posture, breathing and sleep, and reduce anxiety and agitation, this
programme shows how yoga can be adapted to benefit people with dementia.
Based
on the findings of a pilot therapeutic yoga programme for people with
dementia in care homes, this book offers substantial yoga sequences,
breathing exercises, meditations and mindfulness exercises for improving
symptoms associated with dementia. It offers an innovative Reminiscence
Yoga approach, which uses sounds, music, guided imagery and familiar
actions to stimulate memories. The book demonstrates the many benefits
of yoga for people with dementia, and describes the ways that each yoga
exercise can be adapted for people of different abilities.
