That is Jerry Galas, giving a basic tip to help with balance. Galas is a Tai Chi instructor at Felician Village and at The Y in Manitowoc. He has been instructing Tai Chi for nine years, and has been practicing the ancient Chinese martial art for over 20 years. Galas explains the basic premise of the art.
At Felician Village, Galas works with many older citizens, helping them regain their balance. Some of his students are as old as 94. Arleene Mauer is one of Galas’ students, and she told us she feels much safer since she has started taking the class.
Another student, Aaron Rasmussen, also swears by Galas’ instruction.
Classes at Felician Village are on Mondays from 11:00 am to Noon, while classes at the Y are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, also at 11:00 AM. No matter which location you wish to attend, preregistration is greatly appreciated.
