Originally developed for older adults, Body Harmony welcomes people of all ages and abilities. As a non-profit, community-inspired movement group, it is dedicated to supporting health, well-being, and social connection through gentle, inclusive exercise and creative movement.
What is Body Harmony
What is Body Harmony
Body Harmony is a free-flowing programme of movements designed to promote well-being and general fitness. It is a gentle, low-impact activity that allows individuals to adapt movements to suit their personal needs, including those with disabilities or physical conditions that might normally prevent them from taking part.
This form of exercise has already proven beneficial in improving posture, breathing, muscle tone, flexibility, balance, circulation, and overall well-being. It is also a fun social activity that encourages community spirit and provides an enjoyable way to stay active.
Body Harmony is a new concept that uses traditional forms to help older people maintain both mental and physical balance. Chair-based to cater for mobility-impaired, but balance, posture. Mats are used for floor exercises when needed. From meditation, correct breathing, to shiatsu, it makes an innovative and creative program.
