Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention helps to improve balance, both mentally and physically, to reduce the rate of falls. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle for this 8-week course.

Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.643.4770.

Learn the fundamentals of Tai Chi for relaxation, vitality, and posture. Studies have shown that Tai Chi can reduce falls by nearly 70%. 

One-hour classes meet twice per week for eight weeks and include:

Warm-up and cool-down exercises;
One or two movements per class, progressively leading to completing six basic core movements and six advanced extension movements;
Breathing techniques;
Tai Chi principles relating to improving physical and mental balance.
Because the workshop gradually builds in strength and complexity, it is recommended to attend a minimum of 12 of the 16 sessions.
