Re: Tai Chi
Tai Chi is becoming a very popular activity here is St Paul/Minneapolis, MN. Our local parkinsons center has Tai Chi classes, in fact a local news show did a special segment just on Parkinsons and Tai Chi. Also, several local hospitals here teach Tai Chi, as well as health clubs. I took my class through the local community adult education program. I agree with an earlier poster that learning with an instructor is the best way to begin. Then, after the movements are mastered, a tape would be fine By the way, there is a half-hour Tai Chi class on public TV here that may also be in other parts of the US. Tai Chi Cha is a good form to learn if one has disabilities, is elderly, or just wants to maintain flexibility, improve balance and increase relaxation. (As opposed to other forms that are more focused on defense.) Linda Manders John Tschida 55/1 yr
