STRONG. STEADY. SAFE.

This evidence-based, instructor-led group program is designed to help you improve your strength, balance, flexibility, and mobility through slow, therapeutic movements based on Tai Chi.
- Moving for Better Balance is conducted in a small group setting of 10-12 adults, providing a safe and comfortable environment.
- Sessions take place twice a week for 60 minutes, and continue for 12 weeks, supplemented by a 30-minute weekly at-home practice by each program participant.
