Gait Improvement Class (In-person classes with a Zoom option)
**Date/Time: Mondays, 4:00-5:00 p.m. Location: Redwood City Armory
**Description: Focus on movements and techniques for improving stride length as well as tempo and stability. Attention will also focus on foot an hip function and the role they play in movement quality. We will also review movement patterns with activities contributing to gait which would include sit-to-stand, ground-to-stand, upper extremity activities, and posture. We will identify which muscles are firing or not at appropriate times during the gait cycle. The secondary goal of the class is to be able to multi-task with these movements.
**Instructors: Scott Lohmann and Sang Pvongnak

Mobility and Stretching Class (In-person classes with a Zoom option)
**Date/Time: Thursday, 3:30-4:30 p.m. Location: Redwood City Armory
**Description: Class will emphasize breathing, joint function, mobility, range-of-motion. Special focus on trunk, spinal mobility and hamstring flexibility which plays a vital role in hip extension—a key element of efficient walking. The ultimate goal is to empower students to self-evaluate regularly to address their bodies’ needs.
