Yoga With A Chair

$12 suggested or “whatever feels appropriate”

Instructor: Donna Smyth

Have you wanted to practice Yoga, but were concerned about getting down, and coming up from the floor? If you answered “yes,” this gentle stretch Yoga session may be for you. This practice will introduce participants to poses that can be done with, or in a chair. We will also have the opportunity to practice simple breath work and meditation.

Bone Builders

The RSVP Bone Builders Program relies upon weight training and balance exercises to protect against fractures caused by osteoporosis by increasing muscular strength, balance and bone density. Exercises will be adjusted to individual needs.

Developed at Tufts University we are happy to bring back this program to Vernon at the GHH Community Center.

Fall Prevention Tai Chi

Instructor: Tif Keith

Cost: Free

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

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.
