• Helps combat feelings of isolation and loneliness

• Boosts mood and overall mental wellbeing

This is why we've included yoga in our programming, like our upcoming March 10th yoga session as part of our Diabetes Intervention Program. We meet everyother Monday at the same location, as the weather changes our seniors enjoys nature walks in some of Mississauga's senic parks.

 These sessions are specifically designed to meet our seniors where they are, with modifications available for all ability levels.
