Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance (TJQMBB) is an evidence-based fall prevention program designed for older adults developed by Fuzhong Li, Ph.D., Senior Scientist at the Oregon Research Institute. TJQMBB represents a substantive enhancement of traditional Tai Ji Quan as it transforms martial arts movements into a therapeutic regimen aimed at improving postural stability, awareness and mindful control of body positioning, functional walking, movement symmetry and coordination, range of motion around the ankle and hip joints and lower - extremity muscle strength.

This program includes 24 sessions. Please note we will NOT meet the following dates: June 25 June 27 July 2 July 4 Aug 1 Aug 6 Each session builds upon what is learned in the previous session. Please consider this class if you can make most or all of the sessions. It is ok to miss a session here or there, but if you anticipate being absent for a lot of the sessions, please talk to Bella or Shonette prior to registering. Thank you.
