Yoga for Carers

This video explores how Yoga can help carers and the practices which support well being.

There are 8.8m adult carers in the UK and they often face many challenges such as juggling work and care and depleted mental and physical health. In the video, I explain my own experience as a carer and how Yoga has helped me and many others. For example, I’ve run yoga sessions in a care home for people with Dementia. I know Yoga helps, as the residents smile, engage and interact throughout. Not only that but their carers join in and enjoy it too. Towards the end there’s also a short chair yoga practice. I hope this helps.
