Gentle Exercise at Sonali Gardens

Since 2022, we have been delivering gentle exercise sessions for service users at Sonali Gardens Day Centre in Shadwell, providing accessible and enjoyable exercise sessions for those who use the care facilities.

Thanks to funding from Sport England from 2022-24, we have worked with the LinkAge Plus coordinator at Sonali Gardens to provide weekly 45-minute exercise sessions that are suited to older people with a range of access needs and mobilities. Our practitioners guide the group through a range of gentle movements that encourage flexibility, warm the joints and support mobility. Carers and staff are also warmly invited to join in, using this time as a moment to be mindful and connect to the body.

We are delighted to be continuing to provide these outreach sessions in 2025-2026.
