New Fitness Buddy Program for People with SCI

By Bonnie Lewkowicz on March 11, 2019 2 Comments

Studies show that having an exercise partner has many benefits, one being making exercise more enjoyable. As part of the Neilsen Project BORP is starting a fitness buddy program targeted towards people with spinal cord injuries. Participants will be paired together to establish a regular exercise habit and be given the tools to succeed.

I am “out of tune” is a common expression used when we are stressed, anxious or have a physical illness. The immersive practice of therapeutic sound can help your body feel more “in tune”.

Sonic healing is a powerful relaxation experience. In the class, we will breath, hum, chant and meditate. The practitioner uses singing bowls, drums, and other resonant instruments to stimulate the vagus nerve, which then activates the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in a calming effect on the body.

Sonic healing can help you:
•    Decrease stress
•    Improve mental clarity and focus
•    Release physical and/or emotional anxiety
•    Find relief for sleeping issues
•    Restore inner balance and harmony

This class is accessible for all bodies and comfort levels. Participants are welcome to lie down on a yoga mat or sit in a chair.  No previous experience required.

Please wear something warm and comfortable and bring a yoga mat, if you wish to lie down (Yoga mats also available for use in the Fitness Center).
