  • Increased confidence: Builds self-assurance in everyday movements
  • Improved mobility: Enhances the ability to perform daily activities
  • Social connection: Creates opportunities to meet others and build community
  • Better posture: Strengthens core muscles that support proper alignment
  • Enhanced quality of life: Maintains independence and enjoyment of activities

The gentle, progressive nature of these exercises makes them suitable for beginners and those returning to physical activity after a break. Each session is designed to be enjoyable, accessible, and effective, with exercises that can be modified to suit individual needs.
