The Better Balance Difference
As we get older it can be harder to focus and we can start to lose coordination and balance. Falls are a major cause of injury for older adults. Tai Chi has been known for centuries to improve all-round wellbeing and coordination, and is popular with all ages to improve mindfulness, focus, and balance.
However, Tai Chi routines can be difficult and slow to learn, and and there are many different types of Tai Chi and many different movements. Choosing which one is the best one to learn to improve coordination and balance can be difficult.
I am a qualified instructor in this American programme based on eight Tai Chi movements, that is specially designed for fall prevention. Developed by the Oregon Research Institute this evidence-based group exercise programme allows you to get the maximum benefit from the ancient art of Tai Chi.
