Falls do not just affect the body. They affect confidence, independence, and peace of mind.This Ukemi Health Fall Protection 101 workshop is a gentle, practical class designed to help people move with more confidence and reduce the risk of injury during a fall. While most fall prevention programs focus solely on preventing falls, Ukemi Health also teaches how to land more safely through calm, controlled movement and padded mats. The approach is inspired by martial arts but fully adapted for everyday people of all ages.
No experience is required, and all movements are optional. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace, observe when needed, and rest whenever needed.
What You Will Learn
You will learn why falls happen so quickly, simple balance and stability strategies for daily life, gentle fall protection techniques, how to get up safely after a fall, and ways to reduce fear while building confidence in movement.
Who This Is For
This workshop is open to adults of all ages, older adults, caregivers, and anyone who wants to feel more confident moving through daily life. You do not need to fall, kneel, or go to the ground to benefit from this class.
What to Expect
The class will take place on padded mats in a calm, supportive environment. Instruction is slow and guided, with plenty of options to watch, rest, or modify movements. The goal is safety, comfort, and confidence.
What to Bring
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. Bare feet or socks only on the mats. No Shoes on the training mats for sanitation.
