Join us for a gentle 30-minute chair yoga practice exploring the connection between breath, attention, and brain health. Research suggests that slow, intentional breathing may help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, improve focus, and support emotional well-being. During this session, we will use simple breathing techniques, mindful movement, and guided awareness practices designed to help participants connect with the present moment and cultivate a sense of ease.
No prior yoga experience is necessary. Movements can be adapted to meet individual needs and abilities. Whether you are living with cognitive changes, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for ways to support healthy aging, this practice offers accessible tools to promote relaxation, resilience, and overall well-being.
CEP Community Live is a supportive space that offers weekly informative videos and discussions for those with early-stage memory loss, also known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), their care partners and families, and clinicians.
MCI is a condition characterized by a noticeable decline in memory and cognitive abilities that is greater than what would be considered normal for a person’s age but not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life activities. It is a transitional stage between normal age-related cognitive changes and more serious cognitive impairment, such as dementia.
CEP Community Live is supported by the Harriet and Charlie Shaffer Cognitive Empowerment Program. Through a unique research partnership with Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Cognitive Empowerment program is a research program designed to co-create a sustainable learning community that promotes joy, purpose, brain health, and wellness through innovation and personalized lifestyle programs, technologies, and physical environments.
Our vision is to empower people facing memory loss and cognitive changes by creating an evidence-based model for lifestyle interventions that can be replicated nationally and internationally.
Our programming includes cognitive training, physical training, nutrition, support groups, and a host of other topics to increase their sense of empowerment and community and hopefully decrease their symptoms.
