Tai Chi for Arthritis<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Tai Chi for Arthritis<\/strong> was developed by Dr. Paul Lam using the Tai Chi Sun Style with special modifications for arthritis.<\/p>\n

Classes are led by a certified instructor and meet for 16 sessions (either 1 hour per week for 16 weeks or 1 hour twice a week for 8 weeks), learning movements properly and slowly working within your comfort limits. Movements can be modified for mobility issues or may be done seated.<\/p>\n

Each Session Includes:<\/strong>
\nWarm up and cool down exercises
\n1-2 new movements per lesson, progressing to learning 6 core and 6 advanced movements
\nBreathing techniques<\/p>\n
