The Thriving After 60 (TA60) community is dedicated to keeping its members mentally and physically healthy—and having a good time in the process. You'll have the opportunity to meet like-minded friends at our interesting events and workshops, which focus on supporting the changing health and wellness needs of those over 60. One day you could be learning about stress relief or life care planning. The next, you are out for an afternoon of dancing or a chair yoga session. Our activities are designed to help you maintain your health and energy, and stay connected with the community well into retirement.
Thriving After 60 events and workshops are about much more than your physical health. Many focus on your mental well-being, and keep you informed on important topics. Others may engage you emotionally, whether it's doing something you enjoy or just being in the company of friends.
Celebrate the five-year anniversary of Kaiser Permanente's Thriving After 60 program, at our first in-person event in over two years. Join us on May 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor as we celebrate the history of Thriving After 60, discuss physical and mental wellness, and how to re-emerge after the pandemic. Friends and family are welcome to attend.
Get fit and get your heart pumped, all while sitting in a chair. Mambo, Cha Cha, Monkey, Jerk, and even a little bit of Tap will leave you feeling energized. Movements focus on working your core and improving flexibility and coordination. No equipment is necessary, but please feel free to use 3-5 pound free weights and/or fitness bands during the strength training sections for added resistance.
Gentle, modifiable exercises that will increase strength, flexibility, endurance, and heighten body awareness to help prevent falls. Chair Pilates will improve mobility and lessen the effects of debilitating medical conditions. Great for those who must exercise seated. No equipment is necessary, but please feel free to have a Pilates ring, strap, fitness band, belt, or towel on hand.
Dance-based, low impact to moderate intensity cardio class, that will challenge your coordination and flexibility, while boosting your morning mood. Strength training either standing or seated. No equipment necessary, but please feel free to use 2-5 lb free weights or resistance bands for the strength training section. Perfect for those who want more intensity than Chair Dance, but not quite as high energy as Dance Cardio.
Dance based cardio class for all levels, plus strength training, with final stretching. Simple steps, low impact, high energy, and intense fun. Groove to the rhythms of pop, latin, reggae, bollywood, and disco. No equipment is necessary, but please feel free to use 3-5 pound free weights and/or fitness bands during the strength training sections for added resistance.
Communication is more than just talking and listening, it is also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. This workshop explores how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s. Learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia and identify strategies to help connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
Join certified yoga therapist Dr. Steffany Moonaz for a 1-hour yoga class based on 15 years of research showing improved arthritis symptoms. This class will include movement to reduce joint stiffness, poses to build strength and flexibility, breathing practices to help manage stress and pain, and mindfulness practices to build resilience and peace of mind. You will need a sturdy chair and the ability to stand without assistance. The class will combine some standing and some chair poses. Dr. Moonaz will explain the science behind these practices and things you can do at home to keep up the benefits of yoga in your daily life.
