DESCRIPTION:No one would argue the importance of good balance control and a
  flexible\, resilient body as major contributors to our well-being. We go 
 through life taking our balance for granted as most of us never think abou
 t actively engaging it daily. For most of us\, balance happens\, whether w
 e are conscious of it or not. In our youth and prime of life\, our connect
 ive soft tissues usually just do what they are supposed to do when needed.
  As we age\, we often move less and sit more\, not engaging the tissues in
  our bodies. There is truth to the adage\, “If you don’t use it\, you 
 lose it.” If we don’t move and lengthen our tissues\, we become less f
 lexible and begin to lose balance and mobility. We have a way to keep your
  balance and flexibility tuned for success even throughout your golden yea
 rs. Our Stretch/Balance class is a great way to achieve this.\n\nWhen you 
 think of stretching\, most people envision sitting and reaching for their 
 toes for a hamstring stretch\, or even a few lunges before a run. These pa
 ssive stretches can be useful\, but there are actual science-based techniq
 ues that can improve your flexibility. Same for balance – science guides
  us toward movements that can challenge and enhance our balance sensors. U
 nfortunately\, many people won't stick with a routine to enhance these imp
 ortant physical abilities on their own. For this reason\, our Stretch/Bala
 nce group class is a perfect reminder to take good care of our connective 
 tissues and balance control and it’s a great resource for consistent pra
 ctice. \n\nOur Stretch/Balance class combines a series of targeted exercis
 es to enhance the body’s long-term flexibility and balance receptors. So
 me movements are done with a chair. You may be asked to stand behind or to
  the side of the chair. You’ll stand on one leg while holding the other 
 high for at least five seconds\, then switch legs. Another balance move re
 quires you to rock from toe standing to just the heels and hold that for f
 ive or more seconds. Seated balance work requires you to lean from the cha
 ir as far as possible to the left\, right and center. All of this keeps th
 e core engaged and enhances your upper body control.  \n\nStretching is do
 ne while seated on the chair or floor toward the end of the class. These s
 tretches\, or range of motion movements\, benefit your muscles\, tendons a
 nd fascia flexibility. Muscles increase their flexibility with stretching 
 techniques that stimulate receptors that tell your muscles to relax or con
 tract. Core work is emphasized as a strong core mitigates poor balance and
  helps prevent falls. \n\nInterestingly\, this Stretch/Balance class also 
 teaches how many of our senses come into play for optimal balance. Vision 
 assists with your ability to respond quickly so all movements are safe and
  streamlined. Your ears also play a role in keeping your stable so don’t
  lose your balance. The vestibular system of the ear keeps fluid moving ar
 ound as body movements occur and this fluid signals the brain so you can m
 aintain your equilibrium. This extremely sensitive system can be affected 
 by changes in air pressure\, loud noise and injury. If your vestibular sys
 tem is injured\, classes like Stretch/Balance can enhance your ability to 
 retrain for balance issues. The body excels at compensation and adaptation
 \, but it is learned. This class is a safe space to work on your balance w
 ith oversight by our certified instructor. Elderly people who are afraid o
 f falling do well with the care and attention you get in this class. The i
 nstruction and support encourage members to return and work toward flexibi
 lity and balance with confidence. Consistent attendance means consistent r
 ewards with improvements in functional living without injury. \n\nMany of 
 our members see that as we age\, it’s a good idea to challenge our balan
 ce systems to be the best they can be. Our group instructor meets members 
 where they are\, realizing that no two members are at the same level. Some
  members report initial feelings of nervousness and embarrassment\, but th
 ey leave reassured. It’s fun to think that no one has ever said\, “I d
 o not need to work on my balance.” Regardless of age\, we all need bette
 r balance.  \n\nStretch/Balance class benefits include: \n\nImproved range
  of motion for joints and connective tissues Improved gait\, posture and p
 hysical performance  Better balance for everyday life functions  Better qu
 ality of life while aging in place  Improved confidence  Fewer accidental 
 falls or injury from tight connectors and disability Fewer aches and pains
  from tight muscles

 ues that can improve your flexibility. Same for balance – science guides
  us toward movements that can challenge and enhance our balance sensors. U
 nfortunately\, many people won't stick with a routine to enhance these imp
 ortant physical abilities on their own. For this reason\, our Stretch/Bala
 nce group class is a perfect reminder to take good care of our connective 
 tissues and balance control and it’s a great resource for consistent pra
 ctice. \n\nOur Stretch/Balance class combines a series of targeted exercis
 es to enhance the body’s long-term flexibility and balance receptors. So
 me movements are done with a chair. You may be asked to stand behind or to
  the side of the chair. You’ll stand on one leg while holding the other 
 high for at least five seconds\, then switch legs. Another balance move re
 quires you to rock from toe standing to just the heels and hold that for f
 ive or more seconds. Seated balance work requires you to lean from the cha
 ir as far as possible to the left\, right and center. All of this keeps th
 e core engaged and enhances your upper body control.  \n\nStretching is do
 ne while seated on the chair or floor toward the end of the class. These s
 tretches\, or range of motion movements\, benefit your muscles\, tendons a
 nd fascia flexibility. Muscles increase their flexibility with stretching 
 techniques that stimulate receptors that tell your muscles to relax or con
 tract. Core work is emphasized as a strong core mitigates poor balance and
  helps prevent falls. \n\nInterestingly\, this Stretch/Balance class also 
 teaches how many of our senses come into play for optimal balance. Vision 
 assists with your ability to respond quickly so all movements are safe and
  streamlined. Your ears also play a role in keeping your stable so don’t
  lose your balance. The vestibular system of the ear keeps fluid moving ar
 ound as body movements occur and this fluid signals the brain so you can m
 aintain your equilibrium. This extremely sensitive system can be affected 
 by changes in air pressure\, loud noise and injury. If your vestibular sys
 tem is injured\, classes like Stretch/Balance can enhance your ability to 
 retrain for balance issues. The body excels at compensation and adaptation
 \, but it is learned. This class is a safe space to work on your balance w
 ith oversight by our certified instructor. Elderly people who are afraid o
 f falling do well with the care and attention you get in this class. The i
 nstruction and support encourage members to return and work toward flexibi
 lity and balance with confidence. Consistent attendance means consistent r
 ewards with improvements in functional living without injury. \n\nMany of 
 our members see that as we age\, it’s a good idea to challenge our balan
 ce systems to be the best they can be. Our group instructor meets members 
 where they are\, realizing that no two members are at the same level. Some
  members report initial feelings of nervousness and embarrassment\, but th
 ey leave reassured. It’s fun to think that no one has ever said\, “I d
 o not need to work on my balance.” Regardless of age\, we all need bette
 r balance.  \n\nStretch/Balance class benefits include: \n\nImproved range
  of motion for joints and connective tissues Improved gait\, posture and p
 hysical performance  Better balance for everyday life functions  Better qu
 ality of life while aging in place  Improved confidence  Fewer accidental 
 falls or injury from tight connectors and disability Fewer aches and pains
  from tight muscles

DESCRIPTION:No one would argue the importance of good balance control and a
  flexible\, resilient body as major contributors to our well-being. We go 
 through life taking our balance for granted as most of us never think abou

 assists with your ability to respond quickly so all movements are safe and
  streamlined. Your ears also play a role in keeping your stable so don’t
  lose your balance. The vestibular system of the ear keeps fluid moving ar
 ound as body movements occur and this fluid signals the brain so you can m
 aintain your equilibrium. This extremely sensitive system can be affected 
 by changes in air pressure\, loud noise and injury. If your vestibular sys
 tem is injured\, classes like Stretch/Balance can enhance your ability to 
 retrain for balance issues. The body excels at compensation and adaptation
 \, but it is learned. This class is a safe space to work on your balance w
 ith oversight by our certified instructor. Elderly people who are afraid o
 f falling do well with the care and attention you get in this class. The i
 nstruction and support encourage members to return and work toward flexibi
 lity and balance with confidence. Consistent attendance means consistent r
 ewards with improvements in functional living without injury. \n\nMany of 
 our members see that as we age\, it’s a good idea to challenge our balan
 ce systems to be the best they can be. Our group instructor meets members 
 where they are\, realizing that no two members are at the same level. Some
  members report initial feelings of nervousness and embarrassment\, but th
 ey leave reassured. It’s fun to think that no one has ever said\, “I d
 o not need to work on my balance.” Regardless of age\, we all need bette
 r balance.  \n\nStretch/Balance class benefits include: \n\nImproved range
  of motion for joints and connective tissues Improved gait\, posture and p
 hysical performance  Better balance for everyday life functions  Better qu
 ality of life while aging in place  Improved confidence  Fewer accidental 
 falls or injury from tight connectors and disability Fewer aches and pains
  from tight muscles

DESCRIPTION:No one would argue the importance of good balance control and a
  flexible\, resilient body as major contributors to our well-being. We go 
 through life taking our balance for granted as most of us never think abou
 t actively engaging it daily. For most of us\, balance happens\, whether w
 e are conscious of it or not. In our youth and prime of life\, our connect
 ive soft tissues usually just do what they are supposed to do when needed.
  As we age\, we often move less and sit more\, not engaging the tissues in
  our bodies. There is truth to the adage\, “If you don’t use it\, you 
 lose it.” If we don’t move and lengthen our tissues\, we become less f
 lexible and begin to lose balance and mobility. We have a way to keep your
  balance and flexibility tuned for success even throughout your golden yea
 rs. Our Stretch/Balance class is a great way to achieve this.\n\nWhen you 
 think of stretching\, most people envision sitting and reaching for their 
 toes for a hamstring stretch\, or even a few lunges before a run. These pa
 ssive stretches can be useful\, but there are actual science-based techniq
 ues that can improve your flexibility. Same for balance – science guides
  us toward movements that can challenge and enhance our balance sensors. U
 nfortunately\, many people won't stick with a routine to enhance these imp
 ortant physical abilities on their own. For this reason\, our Stretch/Bala
 nce group class is a perfect reminder to take good care of our connective 
 tissues and balance control and it’s a great resource for consistent pra
 ctice. \n\nOur Stretch/Balance class combines a series of targeted exercis
 es to enhance the body’s long-term flexibility and balance receptors. So
 me movements are done with a chair. You may be asked to stand behind or to
  the side of the chair. You’ll stand on one leg while holding the other 
 high for at least five seconds\, then switch legs. Another balance move re
 quires you to rock from toe standing to just the heels and hold that for f
 ive or more seconds. Seated balance work requires you to lean from the cha
 ir as far as possible to the left\, right and center. All of this keeps th
 e core engaged and enhances your upper body control.  \n\nStretching is do
 ne while seated on the chair or floor toward the end of the class. These s
 tretches\, or range of motion movements\, benefit your muscles\, tendons a
 nd fascia flexibility. Muscles increase their flexibility with stretching 
 techniques that stimulate receptors that tell your muscles to relax or con
 tract. Core work is emphasized as a strong core mitigates poor balance and
  helps prevent falls. \n\nInterestingly\, this Stretch/Balance class also
