"I started taking Tai Chi for Arthritis last year and just signed up for the fall/winter session. It is great for balance and intentionally does not have any of the wonky or sudden moves that I've encountered in traditional Tai Chi. This course is offered by SUNY Stony Brook and is free and open to anyone. The more the merrier on Zoom! Below is more info from Stony Book and the link to sign up. They also have other fall prevention courses." - Leah

Neuromotor Wellness
The prevalence of chronic illness diagnosis has increased in the United States in the last decade; a study by Johns Hopkins showed that 25% of the US population has been diagnosed with some sort of chronic illness. According to the Mayo Clinic "Aerobic exercise can help to improve your heart health and endurance and aid in weight loss. Strength training can improve muscle strength and endurance, make it easier to do daily activities, slow disease-related declines in muscle strength, and provide stability to joints. Flexibility exercises may help you to have optimal range of motion about your joints, so they can function best, and stability exercises may help reduce the risk of falls."
