Easy Agility Practice
Agility is essential for healthy aging—it allows us to move through time and space with coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility. If you are looking for a gentle introduction to developing agility, this is a great place to start! In this class, Dr. Baxter Bell uses a combination of dynamic movement and static, held postures to cultivate agility, improving our body’s ability to adapt to unexpected changes in our environment.

If you’ve mastered the Easy Agility Practice and are ready to take the next step, Dr. Baxter Bell will guide you through this Challenging Agility Practice video. This class cultivates nimbleness as you move through time and space, and develops balance in both static and dynamic movement positions.

However, if we work on balance regularly we can maintain and sometimes even improve our overall balance. The practice in this video has been designed by Dr. Baxter Bell to help you build balance so that you can continue to move through life with safety and ease.
