TRAER – Is your balance not as good as it used to be? Worried about falling? We have a solution for you!

Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention is a gentle exercise that helps improve strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility. It’s a relaxing form of movement that comes from Chinese martial arts, and it’s perfect for older adults. This type of exercise is proven to reduce the risk of falls.

Northeast Iowa Area Agency on Aging (NEI3A) is offering Tai Chi classes in Traer from Feb. 3 through March 26, 2026. Classes will be held at the Traer Public Library (531 Second St., Traer) every Tuesday and Thursday from 1 p.m. to 1:45 p.m.

There is a voluntary contribution of $4 per class. Scholarship assistance is available for those with financial need. Space is limited, so please register by Jan. 20 by contacting Elise Bovy at 319-874-6892 or email ebovy@nei3a.org.
