The free, houir-long class will meet at the Senior Hospitality Center, 6635 Lincoln Street, Bonners Ferry, at 10:45 a.m. each Monday, Wednesday and Friday through December 15.
The class will take you safely through a process of improving strength, flexibility, mobility, balance and endurance. The instructors are Karen Meeker, a physical therapist and a Feldenkrais® practitioner, and Cynthia Knittel, a physical therapy assistant.
Based on their knowledge of movement and the importance of attention in learning to move more easily, the class will address functional topics such as posture improvement, rising from sitting to standing, reaching for the floor, coming up from the floor, reaching into a cupboard, turning to look behind you in your car — all those activities that typically become more difficult with age.
During the process, you will learn strategies to help ease pain and discomfort, prevent injury, increase energy, reduce stress and improve concentration. With the use of music and other “toys,” the sessions are fun and engaging.
Do we stop playing because we get older or do we get older because we stop playing? Come and play with us at the Senior Hospitality Center!
