You never want to have a dangerous and unexpected fall, but you do want to be prepared for if and when it happens and there’s no time to be aware like Fall Prevention Month in September. Northern Door YMCA healthy living and facilities director Megan Schneider says fall prevention is a big emphasis of both Door County YMCA locations because they want you to be able to do everything you love without fear of falling. One of the popular fall prevention classes is Moving For Better Balance, a course taught on Tai Chi principles, which Schneider says yields results.
