About The Event

Stay mentally sharp and physically stable. The class design is for older adults noticing memory issues and/or balance challenges. The exercises promote blood flow to the brain, create the birth of new neurons in the memory and learning center, and re pattern responses in fall risk scenarios.

Facilitator
