Beginners Tai Chi: Saturday for 6-8 weeks,starting
March 13, 2010. We will learn the first 6 movements of the most well known Tai Chi style,
the Yang 24 Form. This is a beautiful, gentle and relaxing Tai Chi form that is suitable for all ages. Men and women are welcome
in class. In the past married couples and mothers and daughters have enjoyed taking the class together. At the end of this
class you will know the first part of the 24 Form. - Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA) will also start on January
9, 2010. You will learn a short version of Sun style Tai Chi designed by Dr. Paul Lam, a family practice doctor in Sydney
Australia. This form is designed for arthritis but benefits back pain as well. Tai Chi for Arthritis is endorsed
by the Arthritis Foundation in the USA and Australia. You do not need to have a medical problem to participate in this class.
Learning the TCA form will introduce you to Sun Style Tai Chi and you may wish to go on to learn the entire 73 Form. The
Sun 73 form is taught by Dr. Stephanie Taylor on an individual basis.
