Falls are the #1 cause of unintentional death in adults 65 and
above and a leading cause of death for adults living with chronic
conditions such as heart disease.
This 6 week series works to improve balance, build muscle strength, flexibility

self-esteem.
The program is taught in a safe and supported group setting which will provide
participants the opportunity to feel engaged while having fun and making new
friends.
