"CONVENIENT" COURSES FOR SENIORS
Many communities have life-enriching courses for the elderly, however, not every senior citizen can participate due to mobility problems. To help those who have difficulties traveling around, individuals can now apply to the Kaohsiung City government for the free program, which will allow teachers to come to the selected locations to teach.
They are swinging their hands to the music and taking part in gentle warm-up exercises.
This improves heart and lung functions and also improves leg muscles through Qigong, which are specially designed for senior citizens.
These yoga classes take place in a small classroom and even if elderly people have trouble moving, they can take the elevator down.
There is no shortage of participants, as this 80 year-old grandmother has trouble walking and doesn't visit the park that often.
This class gives them the chance to exercise their muscles. And also become familiar with their neighbors.
This is the first of its kind in Kaohsiung as many communities have senior centers but it is difficult for them to travel to these places.
This plan offers free teachers as apartment buildings can simply apply for this program.
