Preventing Loss of Independence Through Exercise (PLIÉ) in Persons With Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

PLIE is an integrative exercise program that focuses on training procedural memory for the ability to perform the movements that are most needed for daily function (e.g., transitioning safely from sitting to standing) while increasing mindful body awareness and encouraging social connection. It combines elements from a wide range of Eastern and Western exercise modalities, including occupational therapy, physical therapy, yoga, tai chi, Feldenkrais, Rosen Method, dance movement therapy and mindfulness meditation.
