ABOUT THE PROGRAM
In the mid-1970s, The Peace School’s founder saw a need for a specialized breathing and exercise system to help senior adults and nursing home residents reenergize their lives.
He was inspired to create a new program he called Peace Breathing & Exercise. Under his direction, The Peace School began teaching it in senior centers and nursing homes across the city.
Today, Peace Breathing & Exercise continues to uplift nursing home residents and senior center clients. The program combines modified movements with Peace Breathing and light touch massage, helping elders feel refreshed and at ease.
