Mind/Body Trainings for Caregivers of Dementia Patients
Caregiver training
Yoga training programs for caregivers to share with residents or family members.
Such practices include poses, movements, relaxation tools, and much more depending on the scope of the training. Studies have shown that group yoga sessions for the dementia population are not as effective as privates or small groups. If resources don't allow for private sessions with a trained yoga therapist the recommendation is to train caregivers to conduct basic impromptu sessions as they see fit. Equip your daily caregiver with the skills to vitalize the patient, promote movement and enable relaxation whenever possible.
