Tai Chi for All Ages and Abilities
Tai chi (AKA taiji or taijiquan) is an ancient Chinese exercise that combines relaxed, slow movement with a calm, alert mental state. More about tai chi. This slow, gentle non-impact exercise builds strength, balance, flexibility and coordination and is good for your heart, breathing and immune function. Practice it to reduce both anxiety and depression, and to help sleep at night. Research.
At Tai Chi Health, our mission is to make the many benefits of this remarkable exercise accessible to people of all ages, abilities and physical conditions. All our programs are based in traditional Yang Style tai chi, which we have taught since 1972.
We are especially excited about our evidence-based Tai Chi Prime class series which has been proven to reduce the risk of falling. Research on Tai Chi Prime has shown that participants significantly improved balance, cognitive function, strength and mobility in just 6 weeks!
