Derived from Sun style tai chi, which includes many qigong principles, this form is our modified version of the Tai Chi for Arthritis form created by Dr. Paul Lam, a physician and tai chi master .  We emphasize weight transfer from foot to foot, opening of the joints, the power of the core, posture, and deep breathing. As the Center for Disease Control states, tai chi is one of the best things one can do for fall prevention.

Fall Prevention Tai Chi is easy to learn and a great place to start your tai chi practice--it can be done standing or seated.  It increases agility, balance, strength, and coordination. 

Fall Prevention Tai Chi includes has three parts--we call them Level One, Level Two, and Level Three. Each part adds a new level of complexity.  Students find all the parts of our form intriguing, beautiful, and satisfying.

When done together, the three segments total 40 named movements (which includes many repeats of certain movements).  Once learned, the full set takes only about 4-5 minutes to complete.
