The great-great-grandmother is being taught Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese martial art, at the Anchor Court day care centre in St Clement's, Oxford.
She said: "We have a bit of fun doing it. I think the exercises help me feel better - I even do them at home."
Louanne Richards, who teaches the class, said: "Doris is very game and very humorous about it all.
"I'm amazed at how much she has got involved."
