Program details

Developed almost two decades ago through a collaboration between Tai Chi masters and medical experts, the Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention program is based on form from the Sun-style of Tai Chi.

It is ideally suited to people whose balance is faltering from injury or age-related reasons, or who are suffering from arthritis.

It also benefits anyone else wishing to gain exceptional health and well-being benefits that Tai Chi provides: you do not need to be suffering from arthritis to benefit from the mobility and stability offered in this course.

The Sun-style of Tai Chi was developed in the early 1900s by Mr Sun Wu Tang. The smooth, natural movements tap into the bodys natural reserves of internal energy to cultivate relaxation and healing.

It has been likened to the power of a gently flowing river: seemingly calm on the exterior but governed by mighty currents beneath.
