By CRAIG GILBERT A free program that helps Fort Smith se- niors get active has been highlighted as a bright spot in the Northwest Territories - but dont call it yoga. The functional living program co-founded and run by Jeri Miltenberger was recognized at the 2015 Elders in Motion training gather- ing in Yellowknife last week as a bright spot in the NWT. The weekly strength flexibility and balance exercise classes for seniors have taken place Wednesday at 115 p.m. at the recreation centre for two years. I teach yoga and people come to the classes and try it but a fairly significant portion of yoga exercises are on the floor she said. Older adults find it difficult to get up and down or are still uncomfortable with some- thing called yoga. With these exercises most are in a sitting position but the chair can be used as a tool too. The program is supported by the GNWTs Active Living program with some funding from the NWT Recreation and Parks Associa- tion and plenty of local in-kind contributions. Many participants are referred by healthcare professionals and others in town who have frequent contact with seniors. No one ever feels like they have to do anything Miltenberger said. We take into account peoples abilities and restrictions as were planning and modify the program. Were not going to solve every issue everyone has but we provide movement and a safe en- vironment for them. The group also holds a monthly seniors day at the recreation centre featuring a healthy lunch planned by a dietician. Reci- pes are shared. The program was recognized in part be- cause it has caught on so quickly. It has been rapidly accepted and well-re- ceived Miltenberger said. Id like to see it grow even more. She said it was interesting to hear the comments of attendees at the Yellowknife event after her presentation. HeldattheExplorerHoteltheconferencealso includedsessionsonfunctionalindependence and active living falls prevention and activity sessions on the land at nearby Rotary Park. Its something other communities should look at making sure someone attends gets the information and brings it back Milten- berger said. Also recognized at the gathering was Ac- tive Elder Alan Joss from Uluhaktok as one of the inspirational Elders who are active lead traditional activities and are role models in their community. A bright spot for seniors to get moving in Fort Smith Dozens of seniors students and professionals attended the annual Elders in Motion conference at the Explorer Hotel in Yellowknife Oct. 28.
