Tai Chi for Fall Prevention: instructed by Leah Gessner
This class introduces the Tai Chi for Fall Prevention sequence. Regularly practicing the
slow, rhythmic movements of Tai Chi smooths out stiff joints, improves balance, and
promotes a sense of well-being. The class specifically improves balance and confidence in
movement in a safe, easy-to-master program that one can do even seated, if necessary.
This program benefits anyone from age 50 upward interested in maintaining their vitality.
Tai Chi 24 Form: instructed by Clàudia Prat
Learn some of the basics of Tai Chi Chuan (also known as Tai Chi), the ancient Chinese
martial art that provides extensive health benefits. These sessions will practice some of the
moves of the Yang style 24 form to develop balance, coordination, and strength.
Instructors:
Leah Gessner is certified by Tai Chi Vermont, a non-profit organization that promotes the
Falls Prevention Tai Chi program and trains instructors throughout the state.
Clàudia Prat has been studying Tai Chi Chuan under Sifu Tzyann Hsu for almost three
years and practices daily. She is now ready to share what she knows with the community!
Classes are free, though donations are welcome.
You only need some comfortable loose clothing and a yen for adventure. You will find
yourself in the company of welcoming neighbors enjoying oiling up their joints, rejuvenating
muscle tone, and laughing some in the process.
