What is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi integrates the body and mind to improve health, fitness and relaxation. A form of martial art from China, it is now practiced as an enjoyable body/mind exercise. Clinical studies show the gentle, fluid movements in Tai Chi enhance muscular strength, flexibility and stamina while promoting relaxation. Health benefits of balance and posture develop with regular practice.
How is Tai Chi practiced at First Unitarian?
Our core practice is Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention, a set of Sun style movements created by Dr. Paul Lam, Tai Chi for Health Institute. Jan Knock, M.A., R.N. (Retired) is a certified instructor in this program and leads the class.
