2nd Saturdays are for Walk with a Doc! 👟As the leader for our local Mocksville, NC chapter I am so proud of the amazing year we have had learning, walking and connecting together outside the four walls of the clinic.
In our final walk of the year we were joined by Melissa who teaches Silver Sneakers Yoga classes at the Davie Family YMCA. She has been a fitness instructor there for 27 years! Wow!
Chair yoga is an amazing practice for flexibility, balance, stress reduction, social connection and strength.
I finished up our talk with the science behind social connection 🤝
I discussed healthy aging with CONNECTION and CONTRIBUTION.
Staying connected with friends, family and your local community decreases anxiety, depression and reduces risk of infections, certain cancers and dementia.
In healthy aging, continuing to contribute to your community with your talents, life experiences, perspectives and wisdom is mutually beneficial. We discussed local options like volunteering for nonprofits, church activities, teaching at the senior center or being a mentor for local kiddos.
Next Walk with a Doc is January 10th, 2026 at Davie Family YMCA at 9 am! Meet in the lobby. All are welcome.
