Class Description
This 40-minute class can be done seated or standing. In this class, we connect the components of balance by finding our center of gravity as well as through visual and isolated exercises focused on improving our balance. Be Balanced, Be Safe.
Science:
This class is designed to help improve the balance of as many people as I can reach. When we are younger, balance may not be an issue, as we get older we all should work on our balance because there is a long list of things that may try to get us off balance. This may include people with Parkinson’s, Neuropathy, Alzheimer’s, Arthritis, and others that we cannot control in our environment on a daily basis.
3 ways a person learns to train their body
- Eyes (Point of Perception), in the class we will do exercises, visually connecting with proprioception which is your brain’s ability to sense your body position in space via joints, muscles and tendons.
- Muscles in your feet, the specific exercises in the class are geared to activate muscles in your feet thru cues and specified movements with lower body extremeties
- Neuro Transmitters, are connection thru practice, repetitive exercises, done daily/weekly
