Thank you for stopping by my website to learn about EZ Tai Chi for Health.
Most of your questions will be answered in the information given below. Many of the EZ Tai Chi for Health programs follow the easy to learn, core program developed by Dr Paul Lam and a team of medical doctors. Dr. Lam's core program is called Tai Chi for Arthritis but we call it EZ Tai Chi for Health because it's a great basic Tai Chi program for everybody! Here is a lovely video of Dr Lam and some friends doing the expanded version of the program. As you watch, notice the repetition of the movements and realize that you can do this! In the second video, Dr. Lam shares several impressive research studies about the program. As a Board Certified Instructor and Senior Trainer with the Tai Chi for Health Institute, I am looking forward to guiding you through this program for health...seated or standing, or even in your mind! |
