Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance

Tai Chi can decrease the number of falls, fall risk and fear of falling. Also it has shown to benefit Parkinson's patients and visually impaired seniors. Slow, low-impact movements that emphasize weight-shifting and postural alignment. Movements progress from easy to more difficult. No special clothing is needed.

Wendy Stone offers Intermediate Tai Chi from 10:15 am to 11:00 am followed by Beginner's Tai Chi from 11:15 am to 12:00 pm. Both classes will be offered twice weekly on Wednesday and Friday, except when the Senior Center is closed.
