Elaine Dunphy believes her purpose in life is to help people find joy through movement. Elaine is a certified Nia Instructor and began teaching Nia in Newfoundland in 2017 when she launched Nia on the Rock. During Covid she was looking for another modality to add to her movement offerings. Elaine completed her Ageless Grace Educator training in December 2020 and started teaching classes soon after and Ageless Grace on the Rock was born. Right now there are over 3400 Ageless Grace Educators worldwide! In September of this year, Elaine became the second Ageless Grace Trainer in Canada and is excited to bring this program to every nook & cranny in Newfoundland and Labrador and into the other Atlantic Provinces as well. Elaine will be giving us an Intro to Ageless Grace and she invites you to settle in and try something new. Joy & laughter are guaranteed! So what IS Ageless Grace? Ageless Grace is a cutting edge brain health fitness program based on neuroplasticity. The 21 Simple Tools for Lifelong Comfort and Ease are easy to remember, and consist of "organic" movements that come naturally. They not only stimulate the body, they initiate a mind-body link that can positively affect attitude and maintain and increase cognitive function. Each exercise tool activates all five functions of the brain - strategic planning, memory and recall, analytical thinking, creativity and imagination and kinesthetic learning. We have one body and one brain and it is our responsibility to take care of them, nurture them and keep them in good working condition. This program is designed to be practiced in a chair in order to engage the brain as well as move core muscles, organs, systems and energy centers. Practicing Ageless Grace for just ten minutes a day can help us maintain our brain health. It's never to late to begin, it's never too early to start. As George Bernard Shaw said "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing".
