BEHAVIORAL

Moving Together

Two-way livestreaming virtual group classes will be offered for 1 hour, 2 days/week for 12 weeks to all participants. Classes will be led by a trained instructor who will demonstrate all movements and will provide brief explanations for the goals of movements. Consistent with the in-person program, classes will focus on the 7 guiding principles of Moving Together: 1. repetition with variation (to promote procedural learning); 2. progressive, functional movements (to improve daily function); 3. slow pace and step-by-step instruction (to minimize cognitive demands); 4. participant-centered goal orientation (to enhance personal meaningfulness of movements); 5. body awareness, mindfulness and breathing (to encourage present-centeredness); 6. social interaction (to promote meaningful connection); and 7. positive emotions (to promote feelings of well-being.
