Every human being ages! That’s inevitable. However, every person has some control over how they age by making healthy choices and developing healthy habits!
The OCCOA’s goal for its healthy aging programs is to help promote the physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of older adults (60 years of age or older). OCCOA’s Healthy Aging Program current offerings include:
- Balance classes (Essentials of Balance and Life is a Balancing Act)
- Big North Boomers (funtional fitness)
- Mind, Body, and Spirit Connection classes (mind, body, and spirit full-body connection)
- Yoga classes (Gentle Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga)
- Young at Heart Exercise Classes (gentle aerobics and light weights)
- Walk Michigan (adult walking program)
- Support Groups:
-
- Cancer & Friends
- Grief Education & Support

- Parkinson Support
- Tender, Loving Caregivers
Many of them are offered throughout the week, year-round.
