Internal Push Hands is a traditional Tai Chi practice where you work cooperatively with a partner to develop relaxation, balance, and physical sensitivity  (often called "listening"). Rather than using physical force, this method is designed to help you cultivate vitality and a strong mind-body connection. Additional benefits include improved posture, reduced stress, and an enhanced ability to concentrate and focus.

Pilates is wonderful for everybody at any age. Seniors, in particular, can really benefit from a Pilates practice. Changes in your balance, strength, flexibility, focus, and your breath are all areas you may notice have changed with age. Pilates at its core works on improving all of those things! Pilates is gentle enough to be right for you at any age and every exercise can be modified to meet you where your body is that day.
