Falling is the number one health risk we face in the latter part of our lives. Countless research studies have shown that it is possible, at any age, to reduce our risk of falling by learning and practicing tai chi.
As more research is conducted on balance, fall risk and tai chi; it has been discovered that cognitively enhanced tai chi is even more effective in preventing falls.
Like learning and practicing good habits of dental hygiene, learning good habits for cultivating and maintaining balance skills can become a life long tool for preserving the physical and mental capabilities that we need for good balance.
This 8 week class will provide education and practice in static, dynamic, adaptive and dual-task (cognitively enhanced) balance skills. Tai chi experts will present the balance habits you need with attentive individualized instruction. Video support will be provided for each week’s balance exercises so you can practice at home.
