Thera Bands are used from time to time, and on occasion we stand holding onto a chair to aid in our ability to balance. This course is wonderful for those who are less mobile and not as flexible. Come exercise in a setting with support from other participants. Wear comfortable exercise clothing and socks (bare feet are fine as well).
