This workshop is for older adults who want to practice important and foundational movement skills to improve their mobility, injury prevention techniques, and confidence. NO intro needed.

Parkour offers a powerful, and often overlooked, approach to fall prevention. PK Silver© reframes falling not as something to fear, but as a skill that can be learned.

Falls are serious and costly

According to CDC statistics:

  • Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults ages 65 years and older.
  • 1 in 4 older adults report falling every year.
  • About 37% of those who fall reported an injury that required medical treatment or restricted their activity for at least one day,
  • Each year, there are about 1 million fall-related hospitalizations among older adults.

  Learn to manage falls safely on your terms

Agility and body awareness: Move through your world with confidence

​Strength and mobility: Rebuild functional fitness for everyday life

​Playfulness and joy: Rediscover movement that actually feels good

“The class not only worked on my balance and agility but was a ton of fun. Carrie was patient with me and listened well. The staff were extremely welcoming. I highly recommend any older adult consider adding this class to their movement routine.” — Laura D, age 65
