You can still sign up. The class is offered through the Portland Parks & Recreation Lifelong Learning program and is only $10 for Portland residents or $14 for nonresidents.

Are you or someone you care about worried about falling?
Fall prevention for older adults is vitally important because we’re more likely to be injured in a fall when we’re older. There are many simple changes people can make to reduce the risk of a fall.
I offer a 5-week course called Build Better Balance that explores prevention from several different approaches. Each week I introduce new movement and mindfulness practices and we cover a safety topic. Since it’s online people can sign up from anywhere! Sessions are recorded in case you can’t make all 5 sessions.
Cost for the full program is $10 for residents in the Portland metro area, only $14 for nonresidents! We meet for 90 minutes with a short break. Classes start at 1pm Pacific time.
Sign up today through Portland Parks & Recreation’s Lifelong Learning program to join one of the two summer sessions:

For the past several weeks I’ve been finalizing materials for a new fall prevention course for older adults. Because there’s overlap, the materials offer tools that can reduce incidence of motor vehicle accidents as well. Falls and MVAs are two ways that older adults can experience serious injury, particularly a traumatic brain injury (TBI), or death.
I’ve called my program “Build Better Balance” and each class offers education about falls, safety, and risk reduction followed by meditation and movement practices. Mindfulness, Movement, and “Making Safe” are my building blocks!
Today was the first class of the five-week series! It went very well and I’ve only spotted one big error I needed to correct! I was rushing a bit to get the first set of movement and meditation exercises in, but I just made it! One student said she really liked the hand exercises included today!
