Active & Happy 65+

“Active & Happy 65+” is a specialized geriatric exercise group designed for people over 65 who want to maintain their independence, confidence, and quality of life through movement.

The sessions focus on:

  • improving muscle strength
  • balance and coordination
  • fall prevention
  • making everyday activities easier and more confident

The exercises are adapted to each participant, with a slow and controlled pace, and require no previous sports experience. Sessions take place in a small group, in a safe and supportive environment, with attention to each participant’s individual abilities.

The class is led by Vanya Metodieva, a geriatric exercise specialist and one of the few professionals in Bulgaria with specialized training and a dedicated focus on working with people over 65.

“Active & Happy 65+” is suitable both for people who want to start moving again and for those looking for a safer, more mindful form of physical activity in later life.
