This workshop is for participants who have already completed Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention Part I. 

In this Part 2 workshop, we will review the Basic 6 and Advanced 6 movements learned in TCA/FP Part 1, along with adding more depth to them. In addition, we will be learning new movements building upon the original TCA form creating an even more exciting set for you to practice.

Part 2 contains more sophisticated moves and subtle changes in direction. TCA/FP Part 2 is ideal for those looking to expand their repertoire and develop their knowledge of tai chi and its principles. 

This course will be offered twice a week for 8 weeks for a total of 16 sessions, or once a week for 16 weeks. Participants are encouraged to attend at least 11 of the 16 in order to experience the benefits.
