Tai Chi for Health Programs with Kathy
Tai Chi originated in ancient China and today over 300 million people worldwide practice it primarily for its health benefits. Tai Chi consists of slow, gentle, circular movements and slow, deep breathing that aids in concentration and relaxation. Some of the health benefits of the ongoing practice of Tai Chi include: increased flexibility and muscle strength, improved balance and posture and the integration of the mind and body.
Dr. Paul Lam and a panel of Tai Chi and medical experts developed the Tai Chi for Health programs and people of almost any age or physical condition find that Tai Chi is fun and easy to learn. More information on the benefits of Tai Chi for Health programs and Dr. Lam’s monthly newsletter is available at WWW.TAICHIFORHEALTHINSTITUTE.ORG
