Keep mobile with the Stan Cohen balance and mobility classes
Regain and enhance your physical capabilities
Stan Cohen has created a unique method of teaching his system of movement exercises.
The movements, once learned, can be done anywhere, anytime with no equipment other than comfortable clothes. All that is needed willingness to improve physical and mental health through gentle repetitive movement of your body.
Practicing increases and enhances balance, leg strength, flexibility and coorodination. Due to the concentration needed to perform the movements, the system also works as a form of meditation and stress relief.
As an alternative to traditional exercise programs, Stan's program has proven itself to be effective.
