Our aim is to empower people over 60 to look after their health and well being in an innovative and practical manner. The activities we are running are Ki Gong sessions which include gentle movement, stretching, breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation. Brain exercises are also incorporated from Ilchi Lee's Brain Education System which is recognised by the UN. So the services offered stimulate the body and the brain in a fun and informative way.
