Dementia Friendly Laughter Yoga

We are learning so much about how people living with cognitive change interpret and interact with the world around them. As Laughter Yoga Leaders and Teachers, many of us are sharing laughter with local senior residences and homes where they may or may not support those living with dementia.

Would you be surprised to know that many of the people living with dementia or cognitive change experience sensory & visual changes as well? Balance & mobility challenges? Even in normal aging there are certain changes that we should be aware of when laughing with older populations.

In this online workshop, Susan Cuming (Dementia Educator, Positive Approach to Care Certified Independent Trainer and Laughter Yoga Leader/Teacher/Ambassador) talks about the expected changes in normal aging and dementia and how understanding them can enhance your laughter program. Workbooks and learning links will be forwarded for participants to review prior to the workshop.
