The residents at Brookdale assisted living, and our guests from the Board of Developmental Disabilities, learned the different ways to write a personal legacy. They learned about memoirs, autobiographies, ethical wills and family trees. We invited everyone to share memories of their ancestors, and heard some wonderful stories!

Our weekly adaptive yoga class continued today at Anytime Fitness in University Heights. Club members and our disabled guests learned poses that help them with strength, balance, flexibility, stamina and relaxation. It was a fun, but effective, workout!

 The residents at Brookdale assisted living learned how yoga, TaiChi, massage, meditation and Reiki help to heal the mind, body and spirit. They learned how these modalities can be helpful compliments to the care they are now receiving, and how choosing these modaliites can empower them to play a role in their own health care.

 It was all smiles today when Lucy Lu the therapy dog made a visit to the University Manor Health Care Center. The residents had lots of fun petting her and learning about how dogs are trained to be therapy dogs. Happy smiles all around!

Another great group today at the Solon Senior Center for our Vegetarian Cooking Class. We worked together to prepare three delicious recipes. The group also learned nutritional guidelines for becoming vegetarian, and how to incorporate more vegetarian choices into their diet.
