Relax & chill 2 – online relaxation session for Duchenne parents and carers

What to expect from the session

We know that COVID-19 is impacting the Duchenne community in so many ways, with the unique burden being carried by carers, parents and grandparents.  We felt it was vital to give you all a safe space to take time out of your day, to relax and learn new techniques to help you through this journey and beyond.  All you will need is a comfy place to sit/lie, a pillow and a blanket (optional). The Coach will take you through breathing, a gentle warm up, stretching, face and head massage then progressive muscle relaxation.

The aim is to give you techniques you can use during the session and then in your daily life.

There are 4 Relax & Chill sessions running fortnightly. If you would like to sign up for all 4 sessions, please tick the box in the registration form and you can use the same log in details each fortnight.
