Wellness 50+ A Matter of BalanceWednesdays, April 11 – May 30 | 9AM – 11AM | Discovery Center

A Matter of Balance can help you improve your quality of life and remain independent. A Matter of Balance is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. You’ll learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change your environment to reduce fall risk factors and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance. Register by April 4. $15.
