Gentle exercise solutions for seniors 60+
Gentle Movement for Seniors is a small, independent project dedicated to helping adults 60+ move more safely and confidently — at home, with simple routines you can do from a chair or with gentle standing options.
Our focus is on Tai Chi, Qigong, and chair-friendly movement that respects real life after 60: stiff joints, low energy days, worries about balance, and the need for clear, Large Print guidance.
No extreme poses. No pressure to perform. Just calm, step-by-step support so you can keep moving in a way that feels kind to your body.
Who’s behind Gentle Movement for Seniors?
The Gentle Movement for Seniors Series is created by author Ellen J. Marshall together with a small team of wellness educators, with one simple goal: make safe, realistic movement more accessible for adults over 60.
The Gentle Movement for Seniors Series
Our first book in the series is:

A Large Print guide with:
