Senior Tai Chi Classes for Falls Prevention in Cromwell

Looking for a gentle way to stay active? These Tai Chi classes focus on falls prevention for older adults. The sessions use simplified techniques from Dr. Paul Lam's programme to build better balance and stability. They also help with strength, flexibility, posture, and movement awareness.

The classes take place at St Andrew's in Cromwell, Otago. They suit those with reasonable mobility, meaning you can walk unaided with average strength and balance. Tai Chi combines slow movements with breathing to reduce stress and improve coordination. Regular practice has been shown to cut recurring falls by nearly 70 percent.
