ABOUT SANDY HELFAND:
I am a retired Biology teacher who lives on 3 peaceful acres in Bloomfield , a Wonderful spot for my gardens and pets and me
Since retiring, I have become passionate about aging well and living a healthy lifestyle.
Two years ago I started to share some of that by volunteering as a coach for a balance class to seniors through office of the aging. Which I still do.
That lead to them having me trained to teach Tai Chi for arthritis, which is becoming a new passion.
It is SO rewarding to share this wonderful art form with others and I hope you will both benefit from and enjoy it as much as I do teaching and practicing it.
