Description

Tai Chi Prime is an evidence-based tai chi fall prevention program that meets for 90 minutes/class and has been proven to reduce the risk of falling. Classes feature instruction in tai chi and qi gong basics, home practice coaching, DVDs or online videos for home practice, handouts, and exercises to embed into activities of daily living. All participants have a chair by their side to touch to help them balance for longer and develop increased leg strength and good postural alignment.
To join this class of up to 10 people, you should be able to sit down and stand up from a chair on your own. If you use a cane, walker, or hiking poles in the community, you are welcome to join. You need to be able to follow class instructions and home practice recommendations. This class has “homework” to help you learn, develop a home practice, and use Tai Chi in your daily life. We encourage you to attend all classes for the best experience and greatest benefit.
Class Fee: $280 (Sliding Scale $160-$280) arranged with and payable to the instructor. ($210 with ICSC's low-income membership).
A 20-minute pre- and post-session assessment of balance and cognition is offered at no additional cost but is not mandatory. Instructor Lori Enloe will call you to schedule. You may call or email Lori at 319-383-5731 or lori.taichi1@gmail.com with any questions before registering for this program.
