Music Moves!

‘MUSIC MOVES’ for Healthy Living: Flow into a new and fun way to greet each day!

Alleviate stress - Rejuvenate energy and focus!

Join us for invigorating sessions of Music and Movement that cater for all levels and are dementia-friendly. For further info or to book a place, email: musicmindspirit@gmail.com.

Accompanied by music throughout, the hour takes us through a number of positive activities, carefully designed to:

  • wake us fully,

  • allow us to be fully aware and present, and

  • trigger positive hormones that are known to bring us to a state of general wellbeing.

Engaging interactive activities include:

  • Stretching with music, releasing tensions and learning how to take care of ourselves

  • Breathing during movement with music, learning about deep breathing and its benefits

  • Some Yoga lite and chair exercise, benefiting the cardiovascular and muscular systems

  • A new programme, called “facial yoga”, that is becoming increasingly popular

  • Learning about habits of everyday movement that can make a difference

  • The benefits of singing together while moving
