The tai chi forms Anne teaches were developed by Dr. Paul Lam, a tai chi master and family physician. Regular practice of tai chi increases one's balance and strength, improves outlook, and combats the fragmentation of modern life. Anne is certified to teach Tai Chi for Arthritis, Tai Chi for Fall Prevention, and Tai Chi for Diabetes. She attends Dr. Lam's week-long tai chi workshop every summer to improve her practice and teaching.
WHY DO PEOPLE STUDY TAI CHI?
"After our last class, when I got in my car, I realized I could turn my head to look behind me--I haven't been able to do that without pain for years!"
"I'm the kind of person who's always uptight, but this class really helps me relax."
"I do the warm-up exercises every morning; they're like coffee for me--they get me started."
"I feel safer. My balance is better; I walk more easily."
"Your tai chi classes are fun and I love the social interaction as much as the tai chi itself."
