Cogir Green Yoga: A Colored Initiative Promoting the Vitality and Serenity of the Residents

07 April 2025

Cogir Residences is proud to organize, across Canada, a week dedicated to the practice of yoga and its benefits on the mental and physical well-being of seniors. During the week of April 14, 2025, retirees at Cogir Residences in Canada will have the pleasure of participating in unique activities such as breathing exercises, adapted postures, and relaxation techniques. This week will be highlighted by a large Green Yoga gathering, a unique moment to celebrate vitality and positive energy, symbolized by wearing a green accessory. The residences will share photos and videos of the key moments of this week on their Facebook pages, cultivating the magic of this initiative.

The benefits of this initiative:

Yoga, which offers a soothing and revitalizing experience, promotes flexibility, stress reduction, and mental balance, will allow participating residents to relax, improve their mobility, and strengthen their overall well-being. Accessible to all, these activities will also give residents the opportunity to come together around a common goal and forge friendly bonds, elements that perfectly define life in a retirement residence! “We are convinced that this large gathering truly reflects what it means to be part of a community like that of a private retirement home, and the well-being it can bring on a daily basis,” explains Claudelle Lavallée, National Vice President of Marketing for Cogir Residences.

The presence of Isabelle O’Brien:

Among the various classes offered to introduce yoga practice in the residences, in-person and online sessions will be led by Isabelle O’Brien, a renowned instructor and owner of OB YOGA. With over 30 years of experience in the bodywork field, trained in dance, yoga, and Qi Gong, Isabelle is passionate about sharing her expertise with as many people as possible. By collaborating with her for this initiative, residents will have the opportunity to learn and discover more about the benefits of these practices.

Kick-off of the Vivre Pleinement 2025 Festival

The Cogir Green Yoga event marks the launch of the “Vivre Pleinement” Festival, which will run from April to September 2025. Each month, new engaging activities designed to stimulate physical and mental well-being will be organized. The goals of this festival are to move, have fun, and share. Everything is designed so that everyone can fully enjoy every moment!
