After a relaxing yoga session, it was time to give our minds a workout too! π§ββοΈπ§
This morning at Verulam House, residents enjoyed taking part in a fun picture quiz, putting their observation skills, memory, and teamwork to the test. It was wonderful to see everyone sharing ideas, having a laugh, and keeping both body and mind active.
A great way to start the day with movement, mindfulness, and a little friendly challenge! π
