Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance® (TJQMBB) is an evidence-based fall prevention program designed for older adults developed by Fuzhong Li, Ph.D., Senior Scientist at the Oregon Research Institute. TJQMBB represents a substantive enhancement of traditional Tai Ji Quan as it transforms martial arts movements into a therapeutic regimen aimed at improving postural stability, awareness and mindful control of body positioning, functional walking, movement symmetry and coordination, range of motion around the ankle and hip joints and lower - extremity muscle strength.

This is the 2nd 12 weeks of the Tai Ji Quan program. You must have completed the 1st 12 weeks prior to this class beginning in order to enroll. You will need internet access and a chair without wheels and preferably without arms. Suggested donation is $5/class. All participants are welcome to participate regardless of ability to pay. Donations of any amount are appreciated. Information on how to send payments and the class link will be sent out prior to the start of our classes. Jessica Karpinske has been a Tai Ji leader since 2016 and has been teaching classes on a consistent basis since then.
