We invite family caregivers to take a break and destress with a virtual 45-minute stretching and easy yoga class, which is appropriate for all activity levels. No experience required and no equipment needed.
These classes will be led by JJ Gormley (M.S., C-IAYT, E-RYT) who has been teaching since 1989 with an emphasis in the therapeutic approach since 2003.

Virtual Music Therapy and Respite for Family Caregivers

Virtual Music Therapy and Respite for Family CaregiversConnect your care recipient to an hour of music with professional musician, Sam Marion. Sam performs a variety of musical styles and sing-a-longs (including Broadway, movie songs, big band, patriotic, folk songs and country songs). He has been providing musical experiences for elders at retirement communities, adult day care centers, and assisted living facilities in the Triangle area since 1986.
While the care recipient has an engaging activity to participate in, family caregivers can use this time as a period of respite. Music therapy is particularly beneficial for the care recipient with dementia.
