Fortify Resilience using Mindfulness & Yoga Capsules
Posted by Reeve Staff in Daily Dose on September 08, 2022 # Health, Events
The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation National Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC) is pleased to announce a virtual 3-part series that equips health professionals who serve persons who use wheelchairs with sets of 1-5 minute mindfulness and yoga techniques (capsules) to foster resilience in the body, breath and mind. This is especially critical during times of change, challenge, and uncertainty.
The science-smart series will be provided in October. Each interactive session in October is provided live and online using Zoom on a Saturday from 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM Eastern Time.
The Body:
10/8/2022
We will focus on mindfulness and seated yoga as a way to build awareness, manage fatigue, languishing, body tension and chronic disease, as well as build overall physical resilience. This session will include a care package with a "RxRelax Seated Therapeutic Yoga" DVD.
The Breath:
10/22/2022
We will focus on mindfulness and seated yoga as a way to enhance pulmonary function, emotional regulation and emotional resilience. This session will include a care package with a "Relaxation Capsules" CD.
The Mind:
10/29/2022
We will focus on the role of mindfulness and seated yoga in reduced attention/memory fatigue, immune modulation, restorative functions like rest and sleep, and gene changes that build mental resilience. This session will include a care package with an "RxRelax for Insomnia" 2-CD set.
Each session provides 6.0 continuing education credits (18.0 total) for a range of health workers, including physicians (AMA PRA category 1 CME), nurses (NE-MSD/ANCCC), certified therapeutic recreation specialists, and some social workers and mental health counselors.
The program is free to qualified healthcare professionals that directly serve people with paralysis as part of their job responsibilities.
