A Matter of Balance is a falls prevention class designed to help participants increase physical activity, make important home safety improvements, and even learn how to respond if a fall does happen. The class empowers participants to take charge of managing their health, and to share their own experiences and concerns about falls.
Tai Chi classes use gentle movements, combining exercise and mental strength to improve mobility, breathing, and relaxation in ways that help you feel greater control over your daily life. It is a safe way for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy life and meet new friends while taking control of your physical, emotional, and mental health.
A Matter of Balance classes are twice a week for four weeks, and Tai Chi classes are twice a week for 10 weeks. Pre-registration for all classes is required, as class sizes are limited.
Dates for the Windham “A Matter of Balance” class will be scheduled later this fall, but the Tai Chi class will be held between Sept. 11 and Nov. 15 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Unity Gardens Community Room, 124 Tandberg Trail, Windham.
