‘Balance For Life’ program for seniors©
Safely sitting on the chair, we engage body parts that play important role in our balance. Eyes, ears, brain hemispheres, abdomen, hips, pelvis, feet and toes are some of the points of our attention in class.
My compassionate perspective on teaching helps my senior students to gain faster stride, flexibility, better one-leg stance, sharper reflexes, better blood circulation, emotional stability and more confidence in walking.
I carefully and caringly select practices, in consideration of the age, fitness level and health condition of each client or group.
Such quality control offers safe, nourishing and rejuvenating environment.
