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.
