Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance

Wednesday & Friday

10:15 am – 11:00 am Tai Chi (Intermediate)

11:15 am – noon Tai Chi (Beginners)

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 is a certified Tai Chi instructor and she 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. We are very lucky to have her! Both classes are offered twice weekly on Wednesday and Friday. All Santiam Senior Center members are welcome and as always, there is no charge for SSC members in good standing.
