We had a Mentor Training for Move With Balance® in Cuenca, Ecuador on October 1, 2019. Enjoy this 1 ½ minute video. Two of the mentees (the people the mentors will be working with) accidently wandered into our training.
As you can see, the mentees and mentors are very warm and friendly. We didn’t have to speak English or Spanish. We just used the universal language of welcoming hugs.
I love how the mentee puts her hat on the chair to save her seat.
We will be doing Move With Balance® at an adult day care center with the city of Cuenca elders. https://vimeo.com/364529979
(The sound in the video is not important, just the spontaneous video itself.)

We were invited to present again at a Sensory/Motor Integration Workshop at the University Of Cuenca for Adultos Mayores (“older adults”).
Last time we presented to students, this time to 8 teachers from Cuenca. They all fully participated in our Move With Balance® sensory/motor integration activities, one of our specialties.
All Spanish-speaking Ecuadorians so we brought along our translator. We are still working on our Spanish.

Karen Brinkley writes to us about her experience as a Move With Balance® teacher:
“Hello, I am very lucky to have started Move with Balance® where I live in Hudson, Florida. I live at a 55+ senior living. It is Heritage Pines. There are many activities here. So far, I have had one class so far. The classes started last Thursday. Since it went into the Heritage Pines information magazine, I have gotten @ 10 calls.
My
first at home client was 80 years old. His wife was there to learn it so she
could help him practice daily.
Thank
you for everything you have done to help us. Karen Brinkley”
In
addition, Karen gave a Move With Balance® workshop at Heritage Pines from 12:00—5:00PM
on April 4. She is a busy girl. We appreciate her inspiration and dedication.

We were invited to present
at a Sensory/Motor Integration Workshop at the University Of Cuenca for Adultos
Mayores (“older adults”).
We were thrilled that 40+
people attended, all of them fully participating in the demo of the Move With
Balance® sensory/motor integration activities, one of our specialties.
They were all Spanish-speaking Ecuadorians so we brought along our translator. They were glad the book has been translated into Spanish. They loved Move With Balance®. We will present again on April 26, 2019
