Description
Seated Tai Chi for Arthritis has been proven to reduce joint pain, improve relaxation, and build strength.  Tai chi is a gentle exercise suitable for anyone and especially helpful to older adults and those with arthritis. The movements are taught to both left and right sides and engage the entire body to improve mobility and strength and reduce pain. A variety of movement combinations are offered. Movements can be modified to accommodate mobility issues for any participant.

This course will be offered weekly. Participants are encouraged to attend at least 11 sessions in order to experience the benefits of tai chi.


What are the components of Seated Tai Chi for Arthritis?

Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention is led by a TCHI Board certified instructor, with each session including the following:

  • Warm-up and cool-down exercises
  • One or two movements per lesson, progressively leading to completing the six basic core movements and six advanced extension movements
  • Breathing techniques
  • Tai Chi principles including those relating to improving physical and mental balance
