A FREE beginner-level Fall-Prevention Tai Chi Class led by Jenn Grant, certified Tai Chi Vermont Instructor, will be held at the Waitsfield Church, Tuesdays at 10 am, May 21 thru August 6.  Since classes build on each other, we will ask participants to start with the first class and try to attend weekly. Wear comfortable and loose-fitting clothes for the classes.

Often described as “Meditation in Motion,” Falls-Prevention Tai Chi includes a variety of movements and forms that work on fall-prevention strategies like weight transference, mindfulness, and balance.  It is a low-impact program proven to reduce falls and arthritis pain; increase muscular strength; and decrease depression, anxiety, and osteoporosis.  The sessions include a gentle range of movements that are suitable for every fitness level and ability.  These enjoyable and motivational classes may be taken either standing or sitting in a chair.
