Stretch, Focus & Relax, with Anna Filliol

We hope you enjoy Carers NZ’s Stretch, Focus & Relax series of wellbeing exercises. Made by meditation expert Anna Filliol and Wellington-based film maker Ro Tierney, Stretch, Focus & Relax complements our 15 minute Strength for Life programme.

Both programmes are designed with family carers in mind, with options for those who want to lie down, sit, or stand while doing the exercises.
