However, individuals lacking insurance coverage are required to pay a nominal fee of $50 to cover material expenses.

Many older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. A Matter of Balance is a program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. This class will be held virtually via zoom.

Participants must have completed the 1st 12 weeks of the Tai Ji Quan Moving for Better Balance class before the start of this session. Please wear comfortable clothing, shoes that are well-fitting and comfortable (not flip flops or heels). Bring a water bottle (optional). A chair without wheels is needed.
