About the Class
Studies have shown Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention to be effective in relieving pain and improving health and balance. It is a safe and easy-to-learn program, recommended by the CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), National Council on Aging (NCOA), and by Arthritis foundations and health departments all over the world.
Each class consists of gentle, slow movement and is done standing, with small steps forward, back, and sideways. Chair variations of movements are available.
Gentle, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - friendly, for those ready to experiment with the practice.
Please register in advance and attend the whole session. Unlike most of my Zoom classes, this is not a drop-in class.
Taking 16 hours of instruction over a period of weeks, accompanied by daily personal practice by participants is the recommended "dosage" for the program developed by Dr. Paul Lam of the Tai Chi for Health Institute. Ongoing practice will assure ongoing benefits.
Preparation
Clear a safe space for your Tai Chi practice. Consider rugs, cords, pets, furniture placement, and so forth.
Have a chair, wall, or sturdy piece of furniture to help with balance, as needed.
