Jenny moves you through coordinated movements in standing that challenge your brain and body as you work to improve balance, posture and slow, controlled movement. These movements are inspired by Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance but do not follow the exact protocol. These videos work through a progression so be sure to start with form 1 and move forward!
Target Audience: Those with the ability to stand comfortably with or without arm support. You can still perform most of the exercises from a chair using the arm motions if needed.
