Tai Chi Is For Me


As we celebrate this month with “Mental Fitness” we are proud to share our progress in our Tai Chi class. Our residents look forward to this rewarding program. They have seen the improvement in many ways and are benefiting from this low impact relaxing form of exercise. Dorothy is always the first one to arrive for class. She shared that she has memorized the movements and has found this class to be extremely valuable to her. Our instructor, Mark, has been remarkable with educating our residents on how much of an impact “Tai Chi” can have. It can relieve physical effects of stress and also promotes deep breathing. It also improves lower body and leg strength and can help with arthritis pain, not to mention it helps reduces blood pressure. We “Thank You” Mark for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with our residents.
