TRY ONE OF OUR NEW PROGRAMS
The Little Compton Wellness Center is offering two new programs in April
PARKINSON’S DISEASE SUPPORT GROUP
Do you or a loved one have Parkinson’s Disease or another neurodegenerative condition? We’re excited to offer a new program that will the first of its kind in the Little Compton/Tiverton area. This Parkinsons’ Disease Support Group led by the Rev. Virginia Army at the LC Wellness Center on the second Thursday of the month from 3 to 4:15 p.m. at the Little Compton Wellness Center. Phase 2 of this initiative is a weekly exercise program at the LC Wellness Center tailored to best meet the movement needs of people with Parkinson’s. To sign up for the Parkinson’s Group, or if you have questions, please call 401-592-0400 or email hfitzgerald@lcwellness.org.
BOOMER BEATS
Rita Kenahan leads a high-energy exercise class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. Join Rita as she kick-starts the day with a class that offers great music and a workout that will keep you moving. Suggested donation for this class is $5.
Increase the "Play" in Your Life
Do you love to laugh? The LC Wellness Center wants to help increase the "play" in your life by offering you a chance to gather with others on Tuesdays from 4 to 5:15 p.m. to boost your joy level beginning on January 21, 2025. We'll be led by Little Compton Acting Coach Lisa Rowe-Beddoe as she guides us through a series of fun acting exercises, drama games and improvisational techniques. While the main goal is to enjoy laughter with others, Lisa's sessions also help extend physical dexterity and maintain mental agility. The cost is $10. Drop-ins are welcome. This will be a program you won't want to miss. For more information, please call Lisa at 413-330-4720.
NEW CHAIR YOGA CLASS & ANOTHER GENTLE YOGA CLASS
Lindsay Williams offers a chair yoga class on Thursdays from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. This class is a beginner-friendly, all-levels yoga practice. We will slowly explore movement, breath and meditation in a supportive community with no expectations, using the support of sturdy chairs. Chair yoga is a wonderful way to move your body without getting up and down off the floor as often, and chairs empower us to practice balance with support.
Lindsay will also be offering a hybrid yoga class on Mondays from 9 to 10:30 a.m. For more information, please email Lindsay at lotuslindsay@gmail.com.
