Fall Prevention Tai Chi

Instructor:  Tif Keith

​Cost:  Free​

When:  Thursdays , 1-2 PM (beginning October 17)

Register:  tifkeith@inner-be.org

Are you worried about falling? The fear of falling often results in more falls; hence, confidence in “not falling” helps reduce these incidents. Tai Chi is a gentle movement exercise that improves balance by strengthening muscles and coordination; simultaneously, it strengthens the mind, enhancing calmness and confidence in not falling. Thus, with regular practice, tai chi is a highly effective exercise for fall prevention.
