Description
Overview
Tai Chi for Arthritis is a gentle, easy-to-follow movement program developed in 1996 by Dr Paul Lam together with medical and tai chi experts. Across 12 lessons you are guided as if you were sitting in Dr Lam’s own class: a short introduction, step-by-step instruction, led practice, and an explanation of the reasoning behind every move. The complete program is presented in a user-friendly format, from warm up through to cool down. Tai chi principles are woven throughout to deepen your understanding and enjoyment, and the set is demonstrated from both front and back views at the end so you can check your own form. Unique music composed for the rhythm and energy of this program accompanies the practice. The first lesson is available free to try before you commit.
