Program Description

Event Details

This 10-week class will be an introduction to Basic Tai Chi Principles using the Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention Level I form. If you are new to Tai Chi this class is a perfect fit for you. The series runs from September 3 through November 12. The class will not meet on Election Day, November 5. 

The Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention form was developed by Dr. Paul Lam, a family physician in Australia, and is endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Arthritis Foundation. Tai Chi’s numerous evidence-based health benefits will be threaded throughout class discussions.

The class will be taught by Patricia Gilliam, PhD, ANP-BC, a Board Certified certified instructor with the Tai Chi for Health Institute.

Attendees should plan to attend all ten classes, as each class builds on the previous lessons learned. The class is sponsored by the Friends of Leicester Library and is available for no charge, but space is limited. Registration is required.
