You can try out a class next Monday that can benefit your overall health as well as your balance at the Door County YMCA in Sturgeon Bay. The Moving for Better Balance is a twelve-week evidence-based program based on the principles of Tai Chi, an art that doctors commonly recommend as adults get older. The program teaches the first eight movements of Tai Chi that have been modified for fall prevention. Instructor Christine Webb-Miller says the benefits go beyond just obtaining better balance and preventing you from taking an expected spill.

The free 30-minute “Try-It Class” will be held Monday, March 14th at 10:15. The regular program will begin on Monday, March 21st. You can contact the YMCA for more information and listen to the conversation with Webb-Miller on the Y Wednesday podcast page.
