BODY, MIND & SOUL
Specialist Geriatric and Memory Clinic
http://sgmclinic.co.za/
Many of us have accepted or taken on the responsibility for caring for our elderly parents health and wellbeing. Aging is not for sissies. While this clinic cares for the elderly it also encourages people in their mid years to acknowledge that they will age and start taking responsibility for the aging physical and mental process early to prevent avoidable pain and suffering in old age. They take a holistic approach and recommend a baseline assessment from 60.
Vipassana 10 day silent retreat, South Africa:
https://pataka.dhamma.org/
Just as we use physical exercises to improve our bodily health, Vipassana can be used to develop a healthy mind.
Vipassana, which means “to see reality as it is” – is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation.
Vipassana Meditation is a way of self-transformation through self-observation.

Yoga online https://www.kaunayoga.com/
"I find that teaching online allows students to focus on themselves without the subconscious pressure of performing in front of others. The use of visual demonstration and detailed verbal cues encourages students to pay greater attention to the subtler tells of their body, and in turn gain enough confidence to be able to rely on themselves to know what is best for them".

The Guardian ‘It’s a safety blanket’: why more and more teenagers are relying on life coaches
​
"Life coaching is not to be confused with therapy. “You go to therapy because something is broken and you want it to be fixed,” says the life coach Michael Bungay Stanier, “whereas in coaching we have the philosophy that you’re resourceful, creative and whole and it’s about amplifying what’s working now. Coaching is often short-term – six to 12 months – and very positive and goal-oriented"
