Technique

One of the core movements in this seniors course is Pushing Palms, which improves stability, gentle upper-body strength, and safe coordinated movement.

Follow this step-by-step guide:

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent

2. Keep your posture upright and shoulders relaxed

3. Place one hand at your waist with the palm facing upward

4. Extend the other arm forward at chest level, gently pushing with the palm

5. Rotate your torso slightly in the direction of the push

6. Keep movements slow, controlled, and comfortable for the joints

7. Pull the extended hand back to your waist with steady control

8. Switch sides and repeat the movement on the opposite arm

9. Continue alternating in a smooth, rhythmic flow

This movement builds gentle coordination, improves balance, and supports safe upper-body activation while maintaining joint comfort and stability.

Gentle Movement & Stability Focus

This course emphasizes safe, supportive movement patterns that help improve balance and coordination without overloading the body. Exercises are designed to be slow, predictable, and easy to follow.

Throughout the sessions, you’ll practice movements such as Golden Rooster, Step & Push, and Backstep Push, which help develop stability, leg strength, and coordination between upper and lower body. These exercises are especially useful for improving confidence in standing, stepping, and controlled weight shifting.
