Tai Chi: Arthritis & Fall Prevention, Intermediate

This slow, graceful exercise, which originated centuries ago as a martial art, can improve balance, reduce stress and offer arthritis pain relief.  Additional benefits include increased relaxation, strength and vitality, as well as improved posture and immunity.  Students learn a series of gentle, easy movements that are performed in order, similar to a dance routine, but much slower.  A modification of the form can be performed while seated in a chair.

 

In this class, students learn the second half of the form developed by Dr. Paul Lam, a medical doctor and Tai Chi Master.   There are 8 sessions.  It is necessary to complete the Beginner class before enrolling in this class.
