Leslie Moskal will be explaining the benefits of Tai Chi, Ai Chi, Otago, and Yoga and how it relates to reduction of fall risk and improved physical functioning. Barbara Rezmer, Tai Chi Instructor, will be leading a free demonstration of Tai Chi and encouraging participation in local community classes.
Tai Chi is a low impact Chinese martial art of flowing movements and postures that improves balance, relaxation, flexibility, mental focus, and immune and cardiovascular functions while reducing pain and fall risk.

Free balance assessments will be provided after the seminar.
