As a tutor/assessor with Later Life Training, on both the Otago and Postural Stability Instructor (PSI) courses, I am fortunate to maintain up to date knowledge in this area and have access to feedback on my teaching from the leaders in this field.
Class content includes body-weight only and resistance band exercises from a choice of seated, standing and floor (mat) positions according to individual ability. Throughout the class, exercises are associated with everyday life movements to ensure participants understand the value of what they are doing in the class to their lives outside of it.
Most importantly, the pace and intensity is tailored to each individual. I offer lots of support, correction and praise to ensure you gain the most from each session in terms of safety, effectiveness and fun.
Resistance bands are supplied, used just once per week and stored/aired at the venue, but if you have your own please do bring it/them.
Please bring your own mat to practise floor-based activities.
"If it weren't for her progress in your classes I don't think I'd be happy for my mum to live on her own."
"They were very impressed with my leg strength and that made it easier to recover from my operation."
"I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your class. I started going in December 2021 and I have learnt a lot and really feel the benefits."
"After your class the pain in my knees from my arthritis is less. Thanks to your class and the way you adjust the exercises for me, I've learnt that movement reduces my pain."
