OTAGO FALL PREVENTION EXERCISE CLASS IN PERSON!

·      Otago is a program of 17 exercises designed to increase strength and balance, proven to decrease the incidence of falls when practiced regularly by seniors.

 

·      ERCV offers two in-person classes and one on Zoom (see calendar item below) each week. All are welcome, including those who use a cane or walker. We have a set of ankle weights to loan out and will assist you in getting your own.

 

·      Classes meet in an upstairs meeting room at the Juanita E. Thornton/Shepherd Park Library at 7420 Georgia Ave. There is an elevator. The room is large, with an air filtering machine. Instructors and participants wear masks during class.
